Thread Name: BS: A Friend With No Humor
Subject: RE: BS: A Friend With No Humor
Not surprisingly, I'm with Kendall. To get past the "please pass the pot roast" phase, a person has to have some sense of humor to qualify for any further attention. The absolute worst is when you are forced to somehow relate to these people on a regular basis and the nadir of humorless souls lies in those who, after you have made some joke, take it seriously and have to explain it to you!!!
For example.......I once made this old joke in a teacher's lunchroom discussion about the drunk driving campaign the school was actively promoting: "Ya' know if 40% of the fatal accidents involve drinking, then 60% involve sobriety.....Seems to me your chances are better if you're drunk."
At least three of the began to explain the problem with my thinking. And you wonder why the American educational system is fucked up?
