Pardon My Dust: I love to laugh.

I love to laugh.

The Money Pit is quite possibly one of my favorite movies. And, now that I'm living through some sort of this...its even better.

I love to laugh. I love this scene from the movie. It's impossible to watch and NOT laugh. Seriously, I love Tom Hanks...there is no other actor in the world that could have done this scene any better.

Enjoy.
