Looks like my posts are untouched, or someone moved them back. ABF!
Listen, it's one thing not to get it, it's another to actually MODERATE based on your lack of understanding. It's A THROW TOO FAR! (That's funny because you never ever EVER hear that phrase but know it exists.)
Look, here's the joke. OB1 posts a bunch of pictures of a new anime. Underneath is his sig, in every thread yes, but WHO CARES? It's only funny this way! Having nothing to say about the anime, I instead choose to make a joke. What's the joke? Yeesh, I can't believe I have to explain this, and oddly enough not to OB1 but JUST you. The JOKE is that I say "that last pic" as though that was PART of his long list of anime pics! The OTHER joke is the REST of it, where I proceed to talk about how funny it would be for Frog of CT to fight Toad of Mario. I KNOW that's the actual names of those two characters! I used an alternate meaning of it instead!
THAT is humor! I'm not saying it was a GOOD joke, just that it makes perfect sense to anyone who takes half a second to analyze it.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
