Dingleberry

My friend Jen is a comedian. It's been mentioned on here before. Her comedy act utilizes her ukulele and her singing prowess. She puts on shows all around the area and, having been to a few, always entertains!

For Christmas, in support of Jen and her comedic talents, I put her newly released CD on my list for Jeff. Following through on that, Jeff got me an iTunes gift card so that I could download the songs, which I have already done. With that, I added her songs to the playlist that I most frequently listen to on my iPhone. I have it playing during the work day, as well as when I go for runs. 

Since I never wear headphones and just play my music aloud for all to hear, I am very careful about not having songs that are too profane or songs that will get me dirty looks whether it be from co-workers or parents walking by with young children. While Jen's songs are extremely funny and have a hint of dirty to them, they are not really what anyone would think of as raunchy. So, I knew I was safe with them on there. Plus, when I hear them, they make me laugh. Who doesn't need a good laugh during work sometimes? 

Then, yesterday, it happened. I was running through the neighborhood and a Jen Shen song came on. I keep my music fairly loud so that I can hear it through my jacket, hat, and the wind breezing by my head. Again, not a raunchy song entitled, "Dingleberry." Of course, once "Dingleberry" came on, a nice family was walking out to the car parked right near where I was running by. Although not appalled, they  certainly looked at me funny. 

I guess I can't blame them. I would probably look at someone funny who was running along to the tune of "Dingleberry" as well.
