Meet Shaniqwa Flaminio, the Most Unintentionally Hilarious Woman on Earth
My name is Amanda, and I've had the pleasure of knowing Shaniqwa Flaminio for almost a decade now. I met her at a community theater production where she played the lead role in a Shakespearean comedy.
From the moment I saw her on stage, I knew she was something special. Shaniqwa has a unique gift for making people laugh, even when she's not trying to.
One of the funniest things about Shaniqwa is her complete lack of self-awareness. She's always the last to realize when she's making a fool of herself, and it's this obliviousness that makes her so endearing.
For example, there was the time she was at a party and someone asked her if she could sing. Shaniqwa, who has a lovely voice, hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sure." As the rest of us watched in amused horror, she proceeded to belt out an off-key rendition of "My Heart Will Go On," complete with dramatic hand gestures. By the end of the song, everyone was in stitches, and Shaniqwa looked around in confusion, wondering why.
Another time, I was with Shaniqwa at a grocery store when she accidentally knocked over a display of strawberries. As the strawberries scattered across the floor, Shaniqwa looked up at me, her eyes wide with terror. She started frantically picking up the strawberries and putting them back in the display, all the while muttering, "Oh no, oh no, oh no." I could barely contain my laughter as I watched her panic, and I finally had to help her finish cleaning up the mess.
Shaniqwa's lack of self-awareness is only one of the things that makes her so funny. She also has a gift for malapropisms.
Once, she was talking about a friend of hers who was getting married. "Her fiancé is so handsome," she said. "He's a real catch. He's got a great personality, and he's very good-looking. He's a real man of principal." I had to bite my lip to keep from laughing. I knew what she meant, but the way she said it was just too funny.
Shaniqwa's malapropisms are always unintentional, and they always make me laugh. She's not trying to be funny, but she can't help but be herself.
I'm so grateful to have Shaniqwa in my life. She's a constant source of laughter and joy. She's also one of the kindest and most caring people I know.
If you ever get the chance to meet Shaniqwa Flaminio, don't pass it up. You're in for a truly unforgettable experience.
