Some jokes
11/30/12 at 09:15:09

Some jokes just arent that funny.. IDK WHY I thot that joke I posted was funny when I heard it. Its not my usual style to laugh at mean & hurtful things, I cant even watch Americas Funniest, cuz people gettin hurt just isnt funny.

Id certainly like to apologize to the ladies who are nice enough to visit us here & I ask any who I offended to PM me & Ill apologize to each & every one individually.

I would really feel bad if I did something that helped someone decide to not participate here any more,

Sincerely
Nolan

I know why, humor is part surprize.

I thought they were funny for the same reason, the answer was not what I was anticipating. But a friend of mine is fond of saying "there's a little truth in every joke" be mindful for those the truth applies.

There are different categories of humor, and one is when it's at another's expense (I don't remember the psychological name for it tho?). It's the kind of humor that, while you wouldn't like it happening to you, it's funny when an event happens to someone else. I am a fan of old Laurel and Hardy comedy, most of which falls into that category. For instance, when Hardy bows to a lady at party and you hear his pants rip in the back, the look on his face is hilarious (tho I'm glad it's him instead of me). It may not be for everyone, but for me this type of humor just strikes me as funny. Frankly in many ways I think our society is becoming too "politically correct", and unable to see humor in things anymore.

I was raised old school; i.e., you treated women politely and with respect. After "women's lib" everything changed, and women seemed to take offense to some of the traditional things we did for them. I remember taking a gal on a date once, and when I opened the car door for her, she told me she could open her own door!!! I think it left men in an awkward position, kinda like some jokes do today.

Well referring to women as gals can get you into hot water too ya know.
Kinda on the same subject, sorta, but I read a book years ago called the 4 agreements. One of those agreements, which we make with ourselves is to not take anything personally, it has been a very good adjustment to my thinking and (re)acting to things.
I'll spare you the "why we do it, and all (take things personally) but if you're so inclined to gain back some energy wasted on things that drain it, you might want to read it.....

I hear everything you're saying Dawg, but the "gals" thing is a good example of the confusion. I know many "gals" who use the term too!

Well just to be perfectly clear ya know, and not trying to be a sexist, or such, but I know many dudes who use the term too, too, conversely, anyway. Cool

One of the reasons we laugh at jokes is... "danger".

We laugh at "danger defeated", or "pain defeated" every time we tell a joke.

Ever laughed at those funnies when a guy falls from the ladder and the paint bucket flips onto his head? Are we laughing at the paint dripping, or at the the fall itself?
Believe it or not, we'd laugh at the fall even without the pain bucket, because we relieve ourselves of the fear the man could get hurt, and are happy he didn't.

For that same reason, Wiley Coyote will plummet for miles into deep deep canyons, and regain his composure walking like a bellows, with accordion sound and all...

For that same reason, again, we film our toddler son/daughter run his/her little bicycle into the hedge, only to laugh our heads off when they emerge, disheveled but reasonably unhurt.

So... what's that joke about red lipstick and a brick? We laugh because we KNOW it doesn't apply to us, and we laugh at the danger avoided by our companions...

Else... why would Scooby-Doo and Johnnie Quest run after Mummies ? (or be chased by them)

Cool
