The History of the Middle Finger

Good story, but just in case anyone thinks it isn't a joke:

Tripping up the stairs of the aircracft was more concerning. though

Why? I guarantee if the press and cameras followed anyone around, you'd get footage of them tripping. etc. It only matters if it happens very frequently.

I think it would be better if we stay away from the overtly political humor.

The Facebook algorithm doesn't understand sarcasm or satire, apparently.

My recommedation: Just close your FB account, download all the info, and ask to be deleted. 

You won't really miss it, and you'll see fewer directed ads.

People: just drop the argument. Forget it. No one wins. It's sounds like petulant children.

Suggestion 1: Get back to posting jokes

Suggestion 2: Probably better not to post political stuff. Even if it's funny and good satire.

@The Computer Audiophile

 

I have some reflections on the following sequence of events, please correct me if I'm wrong.

 

Priaptor to PYP:

 

 

14 hours after I reported this post:

 

 

 

For which Priaptor gets 'thank you' from Computer Audiophile:

 

 

No reaction of Chris to this appears up till the present moment.

 

(many interesting posts by Priaptor do appear next OTOH - IMO really worth checking out..)

 

Many posts later comes my allusion to the fact that it took Chris 14 hours since my reporting Priaptor's "I gave you 'D' for dumb" post to Chris before he reacted to that. In a way that I quoted above.

 

 

And finally this post proves to be the one which deserves a reaction from Computer Audiophile:

 

 

Sorry @The Computer Audiophile Chris, it seems that the conclusion from this development of events can be only one:

 

It is allowed to call people: dumb, extremist leftists, lunatics, laughable bubble people etc and it doesn't make the moderator of this forum react in any way, neither after things like that are posted nor after they are reported or discussed here. 

 

OTOH allusions to your slow reaction times (eg in comparison with closing recent threads reaction times) shouldn't appear on the forum cause they are rewarded with your mocking irony and the reminder that someone who posted here 6k times and started a number of long threads did it completely for free..

 

Do I understand it correctly.?

 

 

Hi-

Suggestion: take a step back and think. Do you actually think anyone at the forum is interested in this post or will actually read the whole thing? And I'll save you the effort: no one is interested, a handfull at most will read it - although they will probably just skim it. 

Suggestion two: look at the title of the thread. Your post certainly counts as OT, but it certainly isn't "for laughs".

If you really can't find the maturity to drop the argument, take it to PMs. Give the rest of us a break.

Benny Youngman is proof that it's all about the delivery.

Definitely among the funniest animals I've ever seen.

 

 

 

This is really worth seeing in its entirety:

 

 

I'm afraid that if that didn't make you laugh, docs, nothing will... 

 

 

     

 

Well one tortoise is obviously the most intelligent one, as he knew to go after a "Croc", which is at eleast another reptilian species, unlike a standard sports shoe.
