Ever been around someone so miserable it was funny?
No, but plenty of times I've been around people that have blinders on and see the world as being all beer and skittles and refuse to acknowledge reality, going so far as to subscribe to "The Good Times", a newspaper with only happy, upbeat stories...

...it wasn't so much funny as pathetic.

I have a neighbor like that(and I'm hoping living here will not make me that way)...
While I don't think animal abuse is funny,I used to think it was kind of amusing the way the neighborhood cat would always s*** on his porch.

I used to get annoyed by the guy,walking around and swearing all the time. But now I see what living here has done to him and can understand it.
