Is this funny?

[Exmoor_Blairite]

I described elsewhere a party we had with friends yesterday. I said that about thirty of the people present were children. One person's reaction on this forum was:

"Damn, did my letter bomb not reach you last night?
Bugger "

Who else finds this unfunny?

Me

I don't find it funny either...although I haven't read the thread in question and I may be reading the phrase out of context.

Hi ELB,

So what were most people at the party celebrating, birthday, engagement?

Cheers

I think it is quite funny.

About as funny as your big party in Simonsbath.

Have you lived there long?

 

[Exmoor_Blairite]

How was my post in poor taste?

I don't think the notion of a letter bomb is very funny.

 

[Ereiam_jh]

I didn't think it was incredibly funny but I thought it probably passed a reasonableness test as far as funnyness is concerned.

That is a reasonable person would have realised it was a joke (yes even without the required LOL).

If I thought it was meant seriously then I wouldn't have found it funny. However that would have in itself been funny as I would have to be very stupid to have taken it seriously/

You didn't did you?

How is the thought of sending a letter bomb funny? I don't understand.

 

[Nigel]

Hi,

You missed my question, what were most people at the party celebrating, birthday, engagement?

Cheers

It would be funny if you and your imaginary friends were blown up in Simonsbath.

Is this a thought experiment?


Have you lived there long?

Talking about letter bombs can be funny if it isn't meant seriously. Sometimes people make jokes about nasty things.

Jokes do tend to stop being funny when people go on and on about them, but there you go.

Some jokes actually get better with age, like a fine wine.

Some jokes are only funny because one person doesn't find them funny.

Tell you what I'll put an LOL at the end of each of my jokes for you as you're obviously having problems detecting humour.

LOL

[Ereiam_jh]

It's one of those that improve with age.

 

[Ereiam_jh]
