This is (under the present circumstances) incredibly poor taste |
|
But I still laughed. "What does George Bush think about Roe v. Wade? He doesn't care how those people get out of New Orleans."
I'm so sorry if it offends anyone. Seriously. But, I have a philosophy, that if you don't laugh, you will cry.

And so am I. But isn't it perfect? The wordplay alone makes me chuckle.

If we didn't laugh, we'd cry.
Thanks, I kinda needed that. =)

4. I was a little worried |
|
about posting that joke. But, a little gallows humour never killed anyone. Again with the jokes. Oy!

But hey, black humor and wordplay work for me...along with irony and a bit of sarcasm thrown in for good measure.
That's the only way of making these last 4 to 5 years tolerable!

5. Don't worry. It's damn funny, and does not denigrate |
|
the troubles the people in New Orleans are having. It's a great joke, actually.

7. Did I ever tell anyone about my crush |
|
on Redstone? If I didn't, well then... and please Mrs. Redstone, it is a simple cerebral crush. I wish, honestly, to someday met you, so we may exchange battle stories, and sing songs about our victories.

18. Come to Montreal some time when we're up there visiting |
|
Mrs R's cousin. We'll trade those stories and songs over numerous bottles of Raftman, and Mrs R won't mind at all. She's a real sport, and she knows that my strength is as the strength of ten because my heart is pure...
That may be the nicest compliment anyone has ever paid me, CS, and do not for a moment think I don't appreciate it. You just made me feel very good about myself, and at a moment when it did me a lot of good to hear it.
I am honored to count you as a friend.

|

I thought it was new to this forum. Damn not being able to search. I'm not a soldier (although I once dreamed of that life). Anyway, carry on; as you were, so to speak.
P.S. I still think it's funny. I hate being someone that posts something that has been posted nth times. Sorry again. I really do not wish to use up bandwidth.

12. Hey, it's still funny! |
|
So it's not so bad.
Don't feel bad - I've certainly wasted far more bandwidth than you, and that was just with my stupid ramblings and silly threads.

Hope I got enough "Rs" in there. Anyway, come up here and stay a spell. We are a good bunch of folks.
Man, I cannot get that accent down. I'll be back to you on that. <heeee>

19. First time I've seen it. |

Someone has to post these things for us culturally-deprived, memeless types.

21. We memeless struggle alone and forgotten; nobody puts on |
|
telethons for us. There are no "MemelessAid" concerts, and even our lack of Digital Cable goes unnoticed. All we have is our newspapers.
Poor, poor us. Thank you so much for recognizing our plight.

That would really kill the punch line. Just sayin. Timing is everything in comedy.
Not that wouldn't be something to bring up in a further conversation, with, say, some less progressive friends.

15. Strangely, I know something about comedy |
|
and think the punchline could easily be reworded to add the Texas comment and make it that much more brutal - and apply to jab to his evil mother.

16. I bow to your expertise |
|
I, unfortunately, know next to nothing about comedy, except when it makes me laugh.
I am not being snarky... I AM CANADIAN! <heee> insert polite laughter here...
From your post, I gather you are a professional comedian? If so, are you going to come to Calgary anytime soon so I may see you? We do have several comedy clubs up in the great white north.

22. I think that is pretty funny |
|
But I have a rather perverse sense of humor.
