Subject: RE: BS: First Joke Thread for 2019 From: Mr Red Date: 16 Apr 19 - 03:48 AM You are obsessed with Trump et al and your "jokes" are the most unfunny confections ever. As the originator of the thread, I wouldn't dare declare what is and isn't a joke. But just to highlight how personal humour is, I smiled at Donuel's quips. And not at the last post - recognisable as a joke, but far from ROTFLMAO it is predictable and predictable ain't funny**. Unless you are Gerrard Hoffnung. **Any analysis of humour would end up referring to the way it sets up a conflict in your brain and the logic that makes it true and the logic that says it isn't, is pleasing. When you have already arrived at the two logics, there is no conflict, there is no pleasing. And logic pre-supposes a lifetime of personal experience/data/exposure. Humour is never funny when you analyse it. |

Subject: RE: BS: First Joke Thread for 2019 From: Steve Shaw Date: 14 Apr 19 - 06:24 PM No hate, Donuel. When I click on a joke thread I sort of expect a laugh. You are obsessed with Trump et al and your "jokes" are the most unfunny confections ever. We live in a vale of tears, Donuel, and we need a laugh. Even a groan. We don't need you infesting joke threads with quasi-tragedy. Nighty night. |
Subject: RE: BS: First Joke Thread for 2019 From: Donuel Date: 14 Apr 19 - 06:07 PM Jokes I write my self are original, I know you like traditional. Lay down your hate for the sake of a language that divides cultural and diverse genres of humor. Your case of egoitis is not getting better. VP Pence is so homophobic he eats bananas from the middle. |

Subject: RE: BS: First Joke Thread for 2019 From: Georgiansilver Date: 06 Feb 19 - 10:01 AM A warning to all in our area folks. Be careful about drink driving as police are out checking on people. Last night I was out for a few drinks and one thing led to another and I had a few too many beers and then went on to wine. Not a good idea. Knowing I was over the limit I decided to leave my car at the bar and took a bus home, I passed the police check point, where they were pulling over drivers and performing breath tests, Because I was in a bus they just waved it past. I arrived home safely and no accident, which was a real surprise because I have never driven a bus before and I am not even sure where I got it from !!!!! |
