Oh good grief - HIGNFY viewer in sense of humour failure

[bertie]

Like Bill Hicks said:

"They're just jokes. Why are people so scared of jokes?"

Fucking morons... people who have temporary sense-of-humour bypasses really get my goat... not sure about whole towns, but in people it's certainly a huge indicator of arrogance IMO... if you can't take a joke and laugh at yourself, then you need to lighten up a little bit, maybe remove your head from your arse.

Obviously, exceptions are made when it's a very offensive joke or a particularly sensitive choice of subject matter, but this is not one of those cases.

purely for 'discussion' (not a point of view) - so where then Conor do you suggest the line is drawn between what is 'get over it' levels of insult, and what is 'very offensive' ?? what if your line isnt the same as mine, or Vims, or the Cols, or Menturms ? whos going to police it ?

One mans meat etc etc

I went to Ilfracombe twice - once on the SS Balmoral. It broke down on the way back.

I don't know the captain's name, but I doubt it was Kirk.

The other time was on a 25ft yacht. In both instances, the best part was watching the harbour get smaller. In it's defence, the worst part was watching the harbour at Swansea getting bigger.

So the story is:

Old fart makes Ilfracombe look a bit stupid.

Well there shouldn't need to be any policing.

Offense isn't given. It is taken.

If someone gets offended by something you or I say, that is entirely their problem... unless they pull out a claw hammer and attempt to bash my face in... then I might care just a tad.

I sense something, a disturbance in the forums I've not felt since...
