A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend? This smacks of censorship to me, which is unwise at best on the innernets. In plainer english, allow us grownups to decide for ourselves what's funny, thanks. That came out much more polite than it was in my head, which I regret, but that's typing for you.
I make the statement full well knowing that I have no authority, no one ever listens to me and that more than likely somebody would try and prove me wrong possibly incurring more unfunny.
I saw an opportunity to air a pet peeve and went for it. So by all means decide for yourselves. No antagonism intended, just a friendly reminder.
You have a pet peeve about people not sharing your sense of humour? Isn't that a bit tiring?
So remember, kids: don't post incase it's found unfunny.
Oh shit, I did it again.
I laughed, Kevin.
Although, admittedly, it may have been the qualifier that did it. Curses!
You have a pet peeve about people not sharing your sense of humour?
Put that way it's kind of funny. Like the guy in Truffaut's Stolen Kisses who hires detectives to find out why he isn't well-liked.
I'd just like to state for the record that I am fucking hilarious, and anyone who doesn't think so has no sense of humor.
I know, it's a bold statement. And yet, completely true.
Though, I've driven past Tim's block many times and saw no signs of these Jiffy Lube mechanics with no Y chromosomes lined up with socket wrench in hand.
What a pleasing image. "Oh, sir, I admire your work so much -- may I check your windshield washer fluid?"
Betsy, being jealous never helps. Much.
Apparently, not only is everyone here funny but their wit is so completely natural that they are not actually trying to be funny. It's actually I who has no sense of humor. It all makes so much sense now. How could I have been so wrong? I need a nap, pompousity takes a lot out of me.
No antagonism intended, just a friendly reminder.
You're not dealing with a bunch who appreciates the head-pats or patronizing. Taste is subjective and you'd be wise to remember that before generalizing.
(We're a friendly crowd but extremely pedantic, and most of us learn this the hard way. Welcome.)
