There's quite a few people who are no longer with us that I miss dearly.

But the worst part of not having these people around is running across a joke that only you and one other person would find funny for the same reason. There's something the two of you shared which makes that particular joke particularly funny between you.

Take for example, this one...

It's a funny joke, but when it comes to my friend Aaron there's a reason that it's funny just to us. Now that he's gone, there's only me. And even if I explained why we would find it funny to other people, it wouldn't be the same. Which means that when I'm gone, that facet of the joke is gone forever.

And here's another one.

It was announced that Tesla's Cybertruck is being discontinued. One of the news story had this photo of a Cybertruck stuck in the sand on a beach...

And I was gutted that my friend Doug wasn't around any more, because this would have been hilarious to us.

I tried to explain this one on my blog once, but you really had to be there.

Unfortunately, you weren't.
