You Ok?

[pitw]

   Are probably the two words that have started more uncontrolled laughing than any other.  I mean can you think of two others that are said that can start everyone laughing.  I can't count how many times I've asked[or been asked] these two words after the sounds of breaking boards, usually a scream or two, air being expelled rapidly from lungs, electrical buzz's, screeching metal and a host of other really cool sounds .   Any answer from uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh to yyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh or WOW, will immediately set one off on a belly laugh that has always amazed me.

I don't know about the laughter part, but two words that I think have caused many things are:  I do.

What'd ya do now Barry ?   

   I didn't do anything but say, "You alright".  Right after my buddy Jack that I was working on his combine with did that step back without looking thingy.  All I got to see was the disappearing act as gravity kicked into the equation but the sound of wood breaking[he landed on a couple boards between to saw horses we were using as a work bench] right after he bounced off the metal hoop that keeps a person from getting into the straw spreaders by accident[slight metal screeching sound].  The whoosh of air as his lungs obviously weren't up to the task of holding air in as he came to a sudden stop.  After the reply of uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I damb near fell off while  .  I think part of the laughing comes from relief that the other is still alive .
  Going back today as things came to a grinding halt after that one .

Boy does that little two word question ever bring back memories!  Sometimes whispered, sometimes shouted, "You OK?"  hangs there waiting to know if it is tragedy or a good story for laughs. 

Glad that you and your friend are "OK."

Sometimes whispered

I can only think of one scenario where those words might be whispered

I am amazed at how many times ....... Just before a bunch of laughing ya hear.....
                                    HOLD THIS......

It's always amazed me that when a guy get's hit in the straddle, some turd (usually my wife) has the audacity to ask "are you okay" between giggles or just outright laughter.

Around here it is usally (hold my beer and watch this) then it is are you alright

Sometimes you can hold off on the question part, then seeing he's OK go right to the laughing.  Gotta be a close friend though.

     We had a dad that was standing 6ft in front of a softball pitching machine, his son dropped a ball down the shoot and BAM! He took a 45mph softball to the bangers. My first words "You Ok".

[FinsnFur]

Was that before or after you let out a chuckle or two Mike. Yeah, I know you man, RUTHLESS!! You probably put the kid up to it.

Chuckle is not the word for it, the other coach and I were unable to talk for a good 5 min or so.    The dad didn't come back for a couple of days. That man was in some pain.
