Tom you have treated me with vitriolic contempt with every braindead word you write! How is that not mean-spirited to those two working brain cells you're rubbing together? Did you lose one of them? LOL

First warning!!! LOL

Oh dear. Show me where. I’ll fix it.

Then there was the one of the grizzled farmer collecting his mail-order wife. Riding home, the horse evaded a mouse and jostled the carriage. ‘That’s one!’ the fellow said.

It later pulled through a puddle and splashed the riders. ‘That’s two!’ he said.

Then it strode beneath a low branch which slapped the riders. ‘That’s three!’ he said, stopped the carriage and shot the horse.

’What did you do that for?’ his new wife cried.

‘That’s one!’ he said.

But you downvoted it. Is she going to think that some new person doesn't like her and doesn't want to know how she is doing?

I downvoted your lie, not her sentiment. What motivates you to persist in playing your word games?

Quite a mission you’ve chosen for yourself. Are you having success?

’Come here, come here, gather round—so I can tell you why you shouldn’t be here!’

For true Jehovah's Witnesses, you bet I have. I entrust those who claim to be Jehovah's Witnesses but lack conviction in their beliefs to the guidance of God.

Yeah. Everyone has their own reason for being here. I use the site as a writing workshop and some of what I create here later appears elsewhere in better form. Meanwhile, I rub shoulders, learn, and share, just like you. Notwithstanding some occasional trash-talking, hopefully I am never mean-spirited in doing so.

Perhaps that why you checked mark someone to kick them off as not to impede in your research, sounds like bad form. 

People simply need to judge for themselves the type of conduct a person possesses, whether it is in the past or present, especially within this forum.

Mean-spirited, they can be the judge of that. I find it difficult to understand why individuals continuously defend one another with falsehoods. Nonetheless, this behavior is futile, as no one can deceive God.

I’d say I gave these guys from Metallica pretty good advice. The deal is even better today. They no longer have to shave off those beards, but still, if they get their act together, might be assigned to write, not one, but two, original songs in view of their background.

I don’t know what became of Cesar, anyway. He was a very difficult guy to please, downvoting most anything.

I have a Mad Magazine trained sense of humor, so Wally McNasty’s negative nattering nabobbing as the Vicar of Warwick I find curiously interesting. His obsession with me makes his pantheon of sock puppets jealous, and as a clone corp of imaginary minions it is truely funny as they spasm with downvotes.

Creepy …. but funny.

"Dad jokes" are supposed to be ultra corny so that their kids groan, mostly in embarrassment.

That grizzled farmer one is a "grandfather joke" that I first heard from my grandfather. It's very funny. Although, I'm not sure, but I think it might actually be illegal to laugh at those grandfather jokes these days.

Well …. it’s not a capital offense ….

….. for the first two.

Even worse is the one about the genie that emerged from the lamp and granted a wish.

The finder wished for a bridge to Hawaii, since he had always wanted to visit but got seasick and was afraid to fly. Whereupon, the genie calculated the difficulties of building such a bridge, the quantity of concrete required, driving piles into shifting seismic plates, etc, and said he couldn’t do it. Please make another wish.

The fellow then wished he could understand women, something he had long wanted to do but had never been able.

’You want that bridge two lanes or four?’ the genie said.

Oh, don't get me started! I can hear,

"Have you ever been in earshot of a grandfather joke? Call 1-800 blah, blah, blah, and get in line for your huge payout! Get what's coming to you! Call now! Don't wait! Time limits are closing! Call NOW! NOW!"

Hey! Don't make fun of my favorite punch line!

PLUS, it's true!
