@DrewDad,
Quote:You're taking Slappy to task for being insensitive?
Seriously?
No, I'm taking him to task for his sophomoric reply.
And I mean high school sophomore.
Obviously slappy meant it as a joke, but, it wasn't a funny one.
Not even the best comedians get it right every time.
His response of going to the other extreme was meant to make it seems that whoever would disagree with his idea that that was a funny joke is just an old stick in the mud.
Then, he comes back with more of the same, talking about a perfect world, etc.
That's a ploy of someone who doesn't want to hear it, so instead throws it back at the other person in such an overblown way, that he deflects everything onto someone else.
****, the joke just wasn't funny in the first place.
It like telling a joke about elbows. We all have them. Just like almost all women have some sort of hips or something below the hips of some sort.
There wasn't anything to play on.
In the past slappy said something about wanting to do stand up comedy. the thing about dips isn't something I'd put in any act.
Anyway, I still can't figure out what that word and his definition has to do with ebonics. Just lame all around
