Express yourself!
-
An old retiree lived near a junior high school. One afternoon, three boys came down his street, banging merrily on every trashcan along the way. This happened every trash day until the old man had had enough. He stopped the young "percussionists" and said, "I love the way you express your exuberance. I used to do the same thing when I was a young drummer. In fact, I like it so much that I'll pay you five dollars each if you'll do it every day for a half hour." The kids were elated and continued to bang the trashcans. After a few days, the old-timer greeted them again. "I'm afraid I have bad news. This recession has hurt my income. Now I can only pay you two dollars a day to bang on the cans." The boys were displeased, but understanding and continued their ruckus. A few more days passed and the wily retiree approached them again. "Look, I haven't received my Social Security check yet, so I can't give you more than 50 cents. Is that okay?" The drum leader looked disgusted. "No way, man! We're not gonna waste our time for that! We quit!" And once again, the old man enjoyed his peace and quiet! :rolleyes:

The fact that neither side wants these jokes should tell you something about them.
I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.

If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

Maybe the joke is how many people will waste the time to read it?

When those jokes are offending you, why do you always read them? There is a joke sign, you see my name so ignore them or me. :)

Offending? No - I am difficult to offend (as you may have noticed). Boring? Yes. And if nobody comments on the poor quality, how are you to know that they are not worth posting and to start posting ones people do find funny? Plus, there is always the triumph of hope over experience. :sigh:

Is this why you vote abuse for people who think you should stop?

He is right. Your home is the soapbox and the home of the (bad) jokes is the soapbox. I do not want to offend you but as long as you post jokes - do it in the soapbox.

I think that's what happens when you get reported with no upvotes, which is technically a special downvote. The count of upvotes has been initiated, but there are not any so it says 0.

You are a troll! I have just posted a joke nothing more nothing less. Ok, perhaps it was the wrong board, but you don't have to be aggressive about that. I already said I don't will post in the lounge again.
