Humor

I got a funny and sad note from a nice, good natured guy here suggesting I never again post anything from Babylon Bee, regardless of how funny it is because they don’t align with his ideology. I took his note as funny and I don’t even know what he means but he assured me that he’d “censor” me if I did it again.
Guess what I’m most likely to do?

Become incensed?

Or just let it Bee?

I always hesitate a moment before opening this humor thread.

Please keep it light and fun.

Looking forward to your next humour post from Babylon Bee. :innocent:

Thanks. In my world, funny is funny. But in this case I’ll probably just not share them for a while—here.

Funny is funny - until it isn’t.

“Holy smoke !”

I’m sure all of us realize that humor is subjective. While my college roommates were all laughing at Monty Python’s shenanigans, I just couldn’t find them funny. On the other hand, I laughed so hard at a couple of scenes from This is Spin̈al Tap that I couldn’t get my breath. I’ve talked to others who really didn’t think that movie was amusing at all.

I haven’t posted a humor entry to this thread, but if I do I’ll be very careful not to post something that is “funny” at someone’s or some group’s expense, because I’d know it’d be a surefire way to make someone angry, and I don’t see the point of that when the point is humor.

We’re all grown-ups here, some (most?) for many decades, so I understand that not everyone will feel as I do, but I’d imagine that the group that does is pretty large.

If someone put a gun to my head I never would have answered the question correctly about would a great joke from The Babylon Bee injure someone’s sensibilities.

.

I think that forum members insulting other forum members is far worse than any jokes in this thread

second that position!

Spinal Tap was required viewing for anyone working in our fabrication shop. The “F#&% the napkin!” Scene in particular.

Thanks to your correspondent for writing to you; I never would have known about The Babylon Bee otherwise.

It looks like a fun site! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

After lots of back and forth texts, he considers himself one of the Good People. He “used to think I was Good”. “But now he’s not so sure”—because of Schrodinger’s cat.
Apparently intolerant and full of hatred, envy and resentment is Good.
There’s no point in my posting any more Bee humor here. I don’t want to hurt his Good feelings. So I won’t. I try not to hurt anyone’s feelings. I feel bad if I do.

I must be missing the cause for concern. I thought the post was clever.

Was he upset because you didn’t explain it to him? Just a thought.

If only it was that simple…

Now that der is funny!


Eyes wide, heightened senses, he walks cautiously into the humor room…

But what if a Babylon Bee :honeybee:
stings the sleeping canine ?
Should that be allowed to ruin the whole room’s mode/mood -
(whether only 60 Hz or full sonic spectrum) ???
RonP,
To Bee direct, please don’t censor oneself “in advance” !!!
