I love a good laugh — who doesn’t? — but while I’ve certainly said a few witty remarks in my day, I don’t consider myself a particularly funny lady. I have a great sense of humor, and I’m happy to be the brunt of a silly joke, but I won’t be the one delivering the punch line.

I have a very loud laugh that some say is contagious, so I guess I should feel lucky that I'm not a nervous laugher.

We've all heard of wingmen, dudes who agree to talk to the friend of a woman who another dude is interested in. The wingman, for that night anyway, is supposed to be selfless, keeping the other friend occupied so his male friend can swoop in and get his girl.
Taken from military lingo to describe planes that flank fighter planes during serious missions (because, you know, getting the girl is a really serious military mission), I didn't realize you could ask a woman to do the same thing — until I read about an ad on Craigslist (where else?) procuring the services of a wingwoman for $30 an hour.
