There's only a handful of you, and you're acting like obsessed lunatics.

I honestly wouldn't want to ever be washed up on the shore unconscious on an island run by you lot.

Lady Godiva taught me that.  Love that girl.

I notice that, in my corner of the world, people always pardon themselves after making a joke.¬† "Haw!¬† Your MOM!¬† Just kidding, just kidding, sorry."¬† As a Discordian of the more humor-inclined flavor, it seems like bad taste to ruin any feeble laugh you might have gotten.  No good comedian (read: person) pardons thier gags.¬† Try letting it be for once, see if you get more laughs, nervous or otherwise.¬† Laughter is important these days, lest we become just another variety of greyface.¬†

"Ha ha, only serious" wants it's chair back.

Plllbbt.

Irony wins over straight statement in a LOT of humor.

And sometimes an excuse is just a reason clothed in politeness.  :D

I'm talking about humor theory.  What are you talking about?

Jenne

I guess not the same thing.

What do you mean by the title, then?

Nervous laughter is my favourite kind. (in others - I don't have nerves myself)

I'm up to my arse in Brexit Numpties, but I want more.  Target-rich environments are the new sexy.

Ok, nevermind.

Make this my duh moment.  :lol:

So, if you tell a joke,  mean the joke, don't try to be forgiven for it.

I mean, "don't dilute your messages with polite insincere clutter".

Go for it, I say.  Make people nervous with what you have to say.  Then, maybe they'll question why it makes them nervous.

Even the non-humorous ones, then, too?

If you say something - mean it. If you don't then don't say it.

(unless you feel like it)

Well then my initial response still stands, then.  Ha!

Jasper

Not so.  I mean, don't ruin fucking jokes by saying sorry.

Jenne

Ok, then my original post DOESN'T stand against the OP, but does to Silly's statement (which is what I mistakenly thought the OP was about as well).
