One other question. Is this about humor or about legitimacy? If you have an illegal sense of humor, my suggestion would be to send it back to its birthplace and tell it to re-enter with all the appropriate papers.
... Thought about that, but I don't want to get caught and risk having that useless humor deported... I mean, it may be useless, but it is my only useless... um.... ok...

Nothing personal, guys :P
I cannot fathom what you're getting at here, I have no clue.... which might be part of the problem. It might be the zoloft or just might be that leaky whoopie cushion I have had for over 30 years before I discovered it was supposed to make a sound like flatulence... instead of a puff adder with acid reflux.... no clue whatsoever....

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

SSHHH! Positive reinforcement through counter-example works best when the subject is unaware of its use!
Yeh, yeh, We all know that our humour is deliberately crap just to make JES feel better. Yeh, definitely. Great catch there, jsluder. Some of the marks will actually buy that!

Not only do we have an excuse for being crap, but we actually come out of it looking noble and selfless. This is great! :D
That's the essence of rising to the level of our mediocrity. Well, mine, anyway.

Maybe you should go to the Buddhist thread. What is the sound of one cheek clapping?

I haven't, but I know how it goes. There are many editions of that book. Which would you reccomend?

Since Arthur Rackham is my favorite illustrator, I recommend this one:
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

The ones with the illustrations by Tenniel and the words by Lewis Carrol.
Avoid the ones rewritten by the Disney corporation.

And JES, I should start with a wry smile, and trust that the rest will follow.

Yes, Tenniel is also a great choice.

Can't recall anyone dribbling in Alice.

I love Rackham, but Tenniel is so classic that I would have to choose him first.

Joe, if you're still having problems with your sense of humour please let me know, and I will beat one into you. :wink:

But if you're in there, there won't be room for the sense of humor. You really should be a good sport and let humor beat you.
