metadigital Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I think we might be in danger of taking ourselves a bit too seriously. For a start, the geek jokes about not ever meeting a female don't ring true when there is one getting married and another pregnant. It is meant as fun, people have to laugh at themselves. It's healthy. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakron Posted May 13, 2005 Author Share Posted May 13, 2005 Yes.

Which helps them to develop social skills, as a big part of it involves putting yourself in others place and imagining how they think! Fortune favors the bald.

Oerwinde Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 That was gold. It was funny too because the Quebecers thought it was funny, while the Anglophones thought it was offensive.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> The Anglophones thought it was offensive? WHICH Anglophones? Around these parts everybody thought it was funny. But then again, Anglos in Toronto REALLY hate French people. I did think it was quite funny though... and I am a (former) Quebecer. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well it caused a big outrage in Ottawa and many MPs demanded that they apologize and such, and many newspaper columnists freaked out about it. The thing was all the MPs and columnists were from ontario and western Canada. But yeah, they demanded that he apologize, so on the next one in New York, Conan did this big apology thing where he had a french translator. And the translator was translating his apology as "I have a small ****. My head is enormous" etc. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

metadigital Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Hod do you say: Will you have a sheep?...then <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Now we are getting surreal. In English we have ewes (female sheep) -- homophone of second person singular and plural pronouns "you"; and wethers (castrated sheep) -- homophone of whether and weather, as in: I don't know whether the weather will be rainy tomorrow.
