I have a friend who is ALWAYS playing some text based multiplayer RPG of some kind that came out only recently or something. This person is ALWAYS telling me these STUPID jokes that pretty much tell me the humor is not something I'd like. Too much "this is how a BRITISH person would say it, totally!" jokes. I mean, yeah I can see how a joke along the lines of "the head seemed to hang in mid air after being severed, but then gravity had something to say about that" would be funny at first, or every once in a while, but when EVERY SINGLE JOKE (it seems from how this person tells me it) is in that EXACT SAME "casual observance of the obsurd" style, well, it's ALREADY gotten too old to be funny ever again.
"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)
