Sometimes in life, you gotta laugh.  And to that end, Diane and I went down to the BOK Center in Tulsa last night to see the Blue Collar Comedy Tour.  And we had a blast.  It was one of those shows where you laughed until it hurt. Bill Engvall went first, then Jeff Foxworthy, then Larry the Cabl...
