Saywhat you mean, mean what you say

[Jasper]

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.

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?

Try letting it be for once, see if you get more laughs, nervous or otherwise. 

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

[Jenne]

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?

Vagueness =/= reaching me today

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).

[Jenne]

  Poor Felix.

It's a great message.

[Jasper]

Yay!

Wait, are you joking?
