In Memorium
With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is
worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost went
unnoticed last week.

Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey", died peacefully at age
93.

The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin.
They put his left leg in. And then the trouble started.








(For the humour impaired, this is a Monday Funny :-)

Geez, and it only took a few decades for this ancient old joke to make
down to Australia. You ppl need to update your com infrastructure.

I've pointed out many, many times that the poster you replied to is a fraud,
a con artist, and an out and out liar. It's also an obsessed stalker.

If you tallied up everything that it says it owns, and you tallied up
everything that it's supposed to have done, it would be a multi-billionaire
who is 247 years old.

But, it's your perogative to have discourse with it, as is my perogative not
to see anything it writes. Therein, you've earned yourself a stay in my idiot
bin.

C'ya in 100 days....... maybe.

I was wondering about that manic depressive typing thing he does.
It does come off a bit spooky.

IMO it's OK to post an rfc relevant usenet joke. Something as old as
that one should be posted with an apology.... but did anyone stop to
think that we're not all in the same circle?

Some people just read old jokes and reply with an LOL or don't say
anything. It's not worth it (unless you're into one upmanship) to
reply any other way, especially here.

No use trying to talk reason or sense to 'that particular poster'. I've
told you time and time again, it's an obsessive stalker, a fraud, a con
artist, and a proven (many times) out an out liar.

I've known it, and seen it's antics for nigh on 10 years.

You've known it for a couple of months.


BTW, it's also very much into 'projection'.

everyone who doesn't like you is 'an obsessive stalker, a fraud, a con
artist, and a proven (many times) out an out liar'?

well, i think you're a prick, and i'm none of those things. but do keep on
whining, it adds immeasurably to your 'manly man' image.

His jokes are so old that they've become funny again to me because I
haven't heard them for so long.

said 'that one's so funny that the last time i heard it i fell out of my
crib laughing.'

Well as one who has spent most of his life in 'serious' jobs where looking
at joke sites all day wasn't practicable, seeing some of these "old jokes"
for the first time makes them quite funny to me.

Plus the fact that no-one seems to want to put a date on jokes makes it
rather hard to 'date' them so as not to upset the 'delicate sensibilities'
of some people.

But, we'll always have some smartarse who'll take their head out of their
arse for long enough to try and 'score points' by deriding anything other
people (or a 'person of interest' to them, ie, stalking) post.

I call it 'schoolyard antics', it displays the fact that they never really
grew (in maturity) past Grade 3.

Now I've got a couple of hours off I might go and hunt up some more jokes I
haven't seen, as today *is* Friday :-)

I've got dinner sorted (shredded roast chicken with basil pesto, pine nuts,
capsicum, chilli, and a dash of cream, served over this fettuccine ......

It's an oldie, but a goodie, and you really need to go buy a sense of humour.

So you can come up with a joke that *no-one* has heard, right?

Only in your dreams.

there's a difference between 'a joke "no-one" has heard' and a joke that
was a hot item almost fifteen ****ing years ago.
