Humour on the WonderCafe

I like a good laugh.  Sometimes I see something on the Cafe that has me spruing coffee all over the screen so I presume that other people are enjoying a bit of humour too.   I seldom use emoticons smiley.   I guess I take it for granted that one or two people will get my jokes.  

 

Some jokes are simply in good fun.   Some are slip-ups.   When I was quite inexperienced on the Cafe I started a thread entitled "Does it still work if you have to do it yourself?"   I was asking if you had to get out of bed and go to all the bother of fixing yourself a cup of chicken soup when you have a cold, will it help or does it have to be accompanied by the love and care of someone else to make a difference.  Someone soon replied that he was disappointed to find out that the thread was about chicken soup.  Yes, I found his post amusing at my expense.   I recently keyed in a line about sending the kids to one cottage and getting together with friends in another cottage for 'adult games'.   Then I quickly added in brackets (like Trivial Pursuit).  

 

Some jokes are meant to lighten the mood, when a thread seems to be getting too serious.   Some jokes are intentionally hurtful.   Some are meant to poke a little gentle fun - perhaps to help the person see that they are taking themselves too seriously.  

 

Some may be meant for just one or two participants in the thread (although others may catch on and enjoy them) while others are for everyone.  

 

Let's talk about humour!  What do you find funny?

I like humour that is unintended. I went to a halloween party once. My boyfriend, who is very tall with a squarish jaw and has a deep voice, arrived late after a late shift at work. People always compare him to Kramer from Seinfeld...he has  the hair.  He had to wear a dark suit jacket for work and arrived in his work uniform. My friend who was having the party knows him, however, her new boyfriend didn't. When he came through the door and was saying hello, my friend's boyfriend turned and aaid, "Look, it's Frankenstein!". He was serious, and meant no insult. My friend who was holding the party and I were laughing so hard we were in tears. My poor boyfriend. .He took it well, however. He's that kind of guy.

I have had some of my best laughs on Wonder Cafe. I like all kinds of humour. Tongue in cheek, low brow, high brow,  potty, you name it. We have some very intelligent, funny, witty people here.

The Knight was dark the Skye was bleu ... through Eire ...

 

Light is like plasma to the darkest hour ... Levite in the Middle Orient ... some of this will raise you from the darkest emotions ... like sleep ... a lazy giant?

 

Few get such stuff as they don't study word as God an idealism towards literacy that is discouraged by one-up-manship ... Roman/Macedonian trait of kick em when they are down ...

 

All stories contain depth of plasma ... but the uninitiated don't get it and call those laughing in small bits ... crazy!

 

Bin there dun nite, it is totally unknown in that devoid of space ... until you discover a way out ... humour ... gift of the gods ... only way out of hell ... I even hear the satyrs giggling in the Shadow ... IT knows all devil of a thing to a brute ...

 

Caesar: "Brutus, is that thou, then he departed"!

 

"My child what did you learn out there?"

 

"Father you have to lose it all to get out of that place!" ---Æ sous, just below the line! Where are thou ... one has to feel th'Eire way along ... the soul being blind and crippled ... like Plateau in heh's cave ... hoo dah thought of that Jah buryd ... a powerful God when Eire Izon ... can burn without some trees ... routes with overhead portions ... alief to the fabrication ... mother nature stirring? Gotta bless the poem pur NickeL ... dark lie bread ... flat out ... like word across the page that few understand ... over 600,000 available and no interest beyond the present state of mind ... devoid?

 

Where is intellect without word ... an eternal enigma ... Trivial Pursuit? Three contained in the fabrication ... where two are gathered ... the unscene ... or is that just anonymous ... somewhat amorphous ... humour floes as the Levantine ... Nathan washing in a flow of such mire ... everybody should consume a pound ...

Light in the dark from the first word ... it's deeply profound ... silly sous ... as in Stele of Egypt ... another gibe or rotation ... evolution? Shocking what you can learn when right into IT ... outside intelligence ... part of the quark of DNA ... nye halve of the story ... as it continues ...

Hi seeler,

What do you find funny?

 

Anything that is relationship appropriate.

 

There are things I can and will easily say to those that I know that I will not say to others simply because I do not know what the other will hear or how the other regards me.  

 

In a text based medium without the context of relationship humour is dangerous.  Emoticons were created to blunt the edge of what we have typed.  Even so emoticons are no substitute for relationship.

 

Without the context of relationship so much of what is intended as laughing with becomes laughing at and I know few who desire to be the object of ridicule.  If somebody is the punchline to the joke odds are strong they aren't comfortably sharing in the laughter.

 

Grace and peace to you.

Hmmm.. Reading RevJohn's comment caused me to reflect.I hope I didn't come across as mean.. I am not one to laugh "at" people, unless they are on stage to get a laugh...I just like accidental humour...freudian slips and such...the moment I described above was lost in translation and perhaps better not shared...it was one of those "you had to be there" moments. It would never have happened had it not been for the fact that it was a costume party-- noone was trying to make fun of anyone, it was an innocent mistake that was actually quite funny-- not taken as an offence by my boyfriend who has a very goofy sense of humour...he doesn't take himself too seriously, which is good....lol... because it seems that I do.

 

And now I think I'd better stop apologizing because it's making me feel guilty.

(I also like self-deprecating jokes...but I'm so terrible at writing them.)

The first time I tried to make a joke on the Wondercafe, not everyone recognized it as a joke, and I got a couple of angry responses.

Just a few days ago, Seeler, I misinterpreted a joke on another thread. I thought that a WCafer was insinuating that another WCafer was a Nazi or perhaps a white supremacist, but it turned out that the person to whom the insinuation was directed at found it funny, and I seem to have been the only person on the thread who did recognize that it was a joke.

 

There is a lot about humour that is visual. A person's tone of voice or their body language tips us off that they mean to be funny. We don't see the body language or hear the tone of voice on a discussion thread, so these kinds of misunderstandings can easily occur.

I couldn't enjoy life without humour.

Just as you share a meal you can share humour to celebrate relationship.

 

It's no coincidence that my favourite folks all know how to make me laugh - and it's gratifying to share my humour with them.

 

But humour is an individual thing - and therein lies the problem. It's fine if folks "don't get it", but sometimes without meaning to, you offend.

(Especially, as I've discovered, if you're an Aussie on a Canadian site!)

 

Self-deprecation is a favourite form of Aussie humour - but, I don't think it's as common in Canada?

 

Now offending others is never my intention when it comes to humour - so I just tell them the truth,that wasn't my intention and I'm sorry they were upset.

 

Humour's intention to me is to strengthen a bond - not to weaken it.

Is a Cosmological  Joke all that is created? That is not odd ... just funny and many stoics in the temple just don't get it ...

 

I was asked in church why I tormented this particular lady's grandchildren ... leading them to bubble and laugh. She wanted to know why I did this? I responded that as a child all I could remember of church was a bunch of long, grim faces ... in the sad situation the world is in right now ... do we need more destitute Joie ... or some positive desire to make things better in the future?

 

Somehow the whole process of thought comes across as if we didn't wish to know the cause until we see it goen ... future tense of love as it arrives blindly ...

 

As a truth you could not tell this to authorities that believe they already know all they need to know. Consider the governments of the world ... are they all in healthy shape? Could we invest some thought in this topic, or is that just emotion going in the opposite (wrong?) direction? I don't know but just a collective feeling I have received as a curse ... some call it a blessing ... a golden talent! Authority would like to extract it from me ... common folk are a pagan daemon that should be put down ... kick eM completely out of the picture if heh thinks ... Christ can you conjure up an example like lightning ... quantum processing of heavy IO'nz in a huge circular generator? Like CERN a creator of Black Holes? Now there's a buried thought in a Maas I've stir ...

 

The powers above must chimera RIP'eLs of what goes on below ...

lol...Arminius.That one belongs on David Letterman. Did you let them know that their ad might be keeping people away?

Sometimes I look around and  everything seems absurd.....the other night on the CNN..."Countdown to Crisis" with a clock showing 4 days 2 hours 15 seconds and counting...they since changed it to "Debt Ceiling Countdown" or something....The ramifications aren't funny, but the absurdity of it all is so funny, in the moment all I can do is laugh.

The GOP tea party circus is very laughable when one looks through a humorous lense...when Donald Trump was thinking about running for president, I thought, "Is this a farce?" The fact that Ronald Reagan of Hollywood cowboy fame became the president of the most powerful country in the world...didn't anyone find that vaguely absurd at the time?

I love watching Stephen Colbert (especially) and Jon Stewart because they see the humour in it all.

LOL Kimmio. That reminds me of a Francophone Sgt Maj we had when I was in the reserves. He could mess up any word, whether in French or English. He was the only one who messed up my very simple to pronounce last name. Well, he went on a tirade once and said "You t'ink I know F*ck not'ing? Well, I know F*ck ALL!" There was a sudden stifling of much giggles, because he summed it up so beautifully in our opinions!

Do you know the word of seal in ole Franc tongues ... creates gaels of laughter in Eire? Convoluted space ... a pond of great depth ... or TØom as expressed in ambiguous Hebrew ... word incased in black? Some light of desire required to unravel the fabrication ...

 

That's the pho'que, what the Celts call a Silkie that can broach both sides of the human perception of mind ... the absolute and the abstract pools ... which is impossible to the rich and powerful ... they hang too much on the physical side like Judas and Haman ... then who that denies myth would catch the bloodiness in that story ... one above and one below ... to plasma-like creations of opposing poles ...

 

One abstraction is the Caduces ... all wrapped up in a Latin rule of grey mar ... as if that's all there was tuit. Did not God cause great waters of babblein to hide the emotional knowledge from the rich and powerful side? Some humbling and Charin required ... 

 

Just sit yourself down and listen and hear if Judas doesn't have your ear about lost silver castings ... that monis the missing linx ...

 

Powerful doctrine in the past led to the bleeding to death of people suspected of dark humours ... thus the veil was drawn, or druID as naked sol' ... the only time you can truly see IT. The Irish myth says that you can only see that naked soul while immersed in vespers ... mere ghost of Dan Nye Boyd ... drifting across a Black Sea ... that's da knight isle ... Skye given as scion. A real screw up in the white bred of daily image ... Jack'd poem per Nick eL ... and Irish eL being drive to get around the English spin on God as ruled by an English Royalty ... you don't see god sitting next to any royal member do yah ... if there was that would be disposed of in a separate spin ... undercover of dark ness ... uv shaft?

 

Love cannot appear as it is a sign of weakness to the rapture of the unaware ... the di isle usin' ... or denied ... within denial, or Onyx ... Blacke doubt? OBI'T ... the crossing, or intersection of points ...

 

Ink'n, blink' an odd one night ... sailed off ... th' aught departed? Whetted Maas of rhetoric ... burned by Romans ... in bulk?? We lost it for a bit ...

 

Do you awake feeling whetted, like sharpened up as a stone in a dream? Without imagination ... perhaps your on the wrong side of the line to draw on the story for support ... then, to many, intelligence and the sol' singularity living in the same residence with desire (Koshacke; double occupancy) just can't happen! Some imagination required to even start one on that thin line ... to not separate but differentiate the understanding of psychopathic and pathelogical ... in a primal stewing place ... in dah light of chaos of a cosmological stir ... that appearing sloe from our perspective so far away ... so we can't be scroo'Jinn it up in Light of the whole thing is moving trees vite ... locis departs in this dimension ... just as you start to learn to cultivate IT ... as Jaw'n ... in temple tongues ... off with heh's head ... the Circe eM decision of man's knowing anything ... according to the Book Of Muse Exodus 20:19 ...

 

Mortal prefers centripedal love instead of fugacity ... an old word for pêðrè ... cetain aroma about that story, unraveled over bred ... a stinker set loose ... like the mind people find confining to their desires if not held in check ... reined upon? A loose halter will led eM run free for conversion ... wee soldier has faded within such probed intellect ... flighty spirits, or did he lose his sole? Some prefer to die with them covered ... don't wish awareness of anything they've done ... could come back on eM ... Canan or just reflection? Deux breaths of pair a  dice ... chancy situation ... love is a frothy quantum state if you don't be aware of what chere gettin into ... some people lose ID all in the experience ... and give up ... filteres the strong souls from the weaker that stand up to the journey ... good sandahls a co habiting companions ... strings with soles? Not a better foundation to stand upon but expressed weirdly ... as outlaws don't like truth ... unless there is some monis involved!

Just for the happy "mensa" hoo don't know the stew we' rein ...

 

There is just that thin space were the Shadow reins a dark pool of discontent that grows each day as powers waste mortal resources ... they think god gave eM an infinite supply. Mere correction required ... the intellect beyond emotional state but just now on the other side of the veil of Ur, or a fabrication of Ephraim dead bull ... a story laid out on savannah that's flat land ... parchment of story?

Humour is one of the strengths of being human -- you see what happens when people get too solemn?  They fly planes into buildings, ban pornography and get between 2 consenting adults.  Sheesh!

 

I can use humour as a way of 'feeling out' people to see if they are safe.

 

I also quite enjoy flirting/teasing.

 

If I can't ever laugh at myself, then that's when I know it is time to shoot myself :3

 

Something that I've laughed at is when people have fallen down the stairs -- I couldn't help it.  So I end up laughing AND feeling guilty AND trying to help them all at the same time :3

Laughing as you fall down?

 

Is good to laugh until it hurts then you feel better at getting back to the Job of life ...

a good whine is well for the soul? It's a break for Jack the thinking sect ... who'd be dulled if engrossed in work without a giggle ...

Should one thus enjoy what they do ... active versus passive tense ...

 

Let it loose ... like Gael over the sea ... dervish to the instituted power clewed into god knows what ... if you asked they'd be mad ...

For there is nothing worse to tell an authority that something they don't know except in the form of myth ... passes into thought unconsciously in the unaware ... un recognizant go about? Ezi Kelle's weal? Alternate chaos ... to words of rule ... no end toem ... as dark as the Hebrew expression T'om ... in house humour's dark ... keep it to yourself some will say ... ID rather put ID out there as mythical bloody thing ... satyr? Red'd headed evil ... to those that don't know the alien ... with force've theo ...

 

That's nothing but a place to put thoughts of emotional nonsense ... human's won't go there ... the myth of psyche? Way out there so it won't get corrupted by mankind's rotten capacities!

My eldest daughter, ten years old, gets my humour. Sometimes she say's' Haw Haw that wasn't funny Mom'  but at least she gets what I was aiming at. We poke fun at each other and ourselves. Sometimes we laugh together like loons.  My seven year old you can joke with but you can't tease HER. Still way too sensitive. Our two year old boy shows a sense of humour already, putting on funny hats etc. He also loves body sounds (burps and farts).

 

I always poke fun at myself because I am such a flawed human that I'm a rich source of material.

Hmmmm

 

Inna, I saw myself in your words...

 

I tend to feel out people (I used to feel them up, but the wife stopped all that)

 

It is a safety thing, "Can I truly be myself? Let's see, have you heard the one about the...." (I never thought of it being a safety thing until now)

 

I am also a terrible flirt, not that I do it badly... (but I flirt often with those deemed safe)

 

I once said, "if I had taken my life too seriously, I would not be here".

 

Pilgrims Progress, I love self deprecating humour. I would rather anyone get a luagh out of themselves than at someone else's expense.
My wife thankfully adored that humour....when she asked me what I looked like (we met online) I answered "A famous Italian actor... guess....no, not Al Pacino or Nick Cage or Joe Manganiello..... more Dom DeLuise or Danny DeVito or Ernest Borgnine (Borgnino)"
My stats were "short, dumpy and hairy"... (were they some of the 7 dwarfs?)
I still say that if I dressed feminine I would look like "Ernest Borgnine in drag"

 

But I found that on this forum, not online in general, but on this particular forum people thought I really hated myself or had a low self esteem... It could be worry, it could be a Canadian thing.... it could also be that it is a religious site...I have met those who think no dancing, no sex, no touching yourself and God forbid no laughing.

 

Thankfully not everyone on this site demands seriousness.

 

< SG heads off to flirt> I read that and laughed, flirt/fart... what difference does it make?

I like watching those practical joke comedy skits on the Comedy Network. I can't remember the name of the show off hand...but I think most of them are filmed in Montreal. There was one, filmed in a mall,  where they hollowed out a  xerox machine and a petite person climbed in...they set it up like a self serve photocopying service. Each person shreeked and hit he roof as they lifted up the lid to the Xerox and there was a person's face pressed up making funny faces underneath the glass!  The funniest person I remember was an older man, didn't look easy to scare, who yelped and  flapped his hands and hopped away.

Kimmio - you're thinking of Just For Laughs - Gags.

 

I love shows like This Hour Has 22 Minutes and The Mercer Report. The comedy is nationalistic, yet self-deprecating. Anyone who can laugh at themselves is a-ok with me!

 

As for sharing humour on this site, I play it by ear. If I think of something funny that others will appreciate, I will share it.

That would cause dissonance in the crow'd ID Jinn ... those spirits expecting to find something there when it was all about A'Don 's ... the talent of giving something of yourself ... a desire chewing people up inside and they can't see IT ... for thy's elphe 's in the way ... of phe Li-ite ... of heaven cyclic fallout?

WaterBuoy,

Fortunately not in our church congregation.

 

As often, in amongst the "head talk" of your post, I've found a gem of wisdom.

 

The talent of giving something of yourself

 

One thing that I think is often overlooked with humour is that it's an attempt to give of oneself - to share with the other/others.

 

When it's not received as such by the listener/s it can be just as upsetting for the homourist as the listener.

There are times when humour can offend - but if that wasn't the intention - it's just as sad for the humourist as the listener. (nobody likes being misunderstood).

 

Thus, using humour risks your vulnerability, but giving of yourself with good intention is an honest gift, IMO.

PP,

Is there any better way to draw out an authority figure than to tell them something they don't know?

 

The unknown god in a powerful genteel manna of telling a story or a ridiculous bit of poesy! Then what would I know of infinite things like the soul intellect ... me being a mortal and all ... humbling sort of humour isn't IT?

 

I could use the excuse often given by CEO's and heads of big institutions: "You honour, I didn't and don't know!"

 

Then how come this individual is a leading authority of a funny thing ... humanity?

 

Then there is the other side of the coine ... pagan ... or just wee people the paradigm or demos ... route word of democracy that tyrants take as a joke ...

 

Will such ignorance reflect back on authority in the long run? Of course to we see the future of our desires ... or deny eM?

 

You can't tell the truth to authority for pagans are not supposed to know or care ... just anima according to the tyrannical plan ... no amuse ment tuit aL! Then, there is honesty told in a cretin sort of way ... a white lie of story? First one would have to process it ... but common folk aren't supposed to think that way. Could we change our way of belief in a story ... a real turn around ... revelations? That would be a stir to get Cos Mos goan ...

If God didn't have a sense of humour, we'd all look good naked.

God gave us wine - in order that we lose our inhibitions and don't care what we look like - and we also think our partner looks good naked at the same time!

 

Another miracle!  (thanks be to God.)  enlightened

Thanks for my morning smile!  I needed it cool

 

The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.
