Trying to think if I know anyone who’d get this joke right away…

Could it be this?

Internet person here. Can confirm.

I spent a couple decades as a professional musician, and so I learned my way around a lot of instruments. I’d say bass is my best though - it’s absolutely my favorite. I’m not Thundercat but I’ll lay down rock grooves for you all week long.

That the thing I’ve been after my entire life but couldn’t identify or articulate was, in fact, autonomy.

This, after growing up in a house full of overbearing, hypercritical family members, willingly entering into a marriage with someone who treated me like property, being micromanaged, and taught that the key to happiness lies in pleasing others, and living in quiet desperation and letting it build and build until I finally imploded and ended up institutionalized.

In the process of rebuilding my life I made a few mistakes, namely going back to a few of those relationships and trying to make new relationships fit that mold. At least this time I had a little self awareness though. I decided to end all of those relationships and start living on my own terms. And that was when the epiphany hit that this was the autonomy I’ve been craving - and had been denied - my whole life.

I’m way happier now.

Guys I found it!

Letting her know I like her by launching my eyeballs out of their sockets and dropping my tongue completely to the floor.

edit: Forgot the old-timey car horn sound.

Me and another kid got detention for fighting.

At my house.

On a Saturday.
