Now where would you get such a silly idea? who in their right mind would want to develop a cure for Viagra? I say bring back the death penalty just for that person!
It always in good fun. Occassionally someone accidentally and unintentionally goes a little too far and hits someone's sensitive "Don't go there please" spot. A sincere apology usually comes almost immediately and we go on.
Humor is the greatest therapy and we ALL need it and we sure as heck ALL can dish it out and take it. Do onto others as you wish done onto you. What I like is when it stays togue in cheek. Just at the edge of almost sarcastic. When you know who it's coming from and you know their weak spots payback is sweet and so easy.
Like getting back at Daniel, he probably has herbal tea in that cup and wants to play Mr. Starbucks cool. The guy has chickens as pets. I was raised not to play with my food. He has 2 roosters. You only need one. The loudest one becomes supper where I come from.
Only one that's really hard to laugh at is here is gooblax. She usually beats us to the punchline and so we laugh along with her most of the time. I've rarely met someone as gifted as her to turn a weird or bad experience into the most hilarious adventure write-up.

I should've tried that with the old coffee grounds I used to have! I had some for when my parents visit, but I'd had the same little jar since around 2012. They'd turned grey by the time mum threw them out this Feb.Well you can find out if they like finely aged Vegemite quite eaily. You have the jar(just had to throw the coffee in for kicks)
:lol: Yeah I didn't think that would escape youI must admit that when I read Jolly Holly's comment I laughed (outsdiders would not understand why) and I just couldn't wait to see how and what you would respond. I like the dancing sheep ending.
My initial response was more like "Oh, um, er, well, I, uh... yes." :lol: I can't quite decide if that is a sheep or what it is Thanks, though you've been doing a few good ones yourself lately
:lol: Yeah I didn't think that would escape you
Yeah, didn't mean to blow your cover intentionally though
My initial response was .. Uh Oh.. did I mess up again? :facepalm:
Gee thanks... Now you went and got me allI can't quite decide if that is a sheep or what it is
and it took me a long time to finally think... hmmm.. must be a sheep... Now who knows? maybe it's one of Daniel's chickens dancing knowing it'll probably die from old age and not from being "finger lickin' good" Thanks, though you've been doing a few good ones yourself lately
Thanks.

Nah all good, I'm not under cover. I am what I am, demon-possessed or otherwiseYeah, didn't mean to blow your cover intentionally though
Haha could be. Or maybe some sort of snow monster (a yeti?)... You'd know all about snow monsters in Canada, eh?Gee thanks... Now you went and got me all
(See what I did there? An attempt to get back on thread topic :lol

Nice throwback on topic
funny that you would bring up the subject... I think BigFoot is actually my next door neighbor. This guy is BIG (and ugly too :lol
he speaks a language I don't understand and always walks around barefoot so I've had a good look at them (pretty hard not to notice something that big and wide!, although I think they finally told him to wear something on his feet whe he's not in his suite. If he walks barefoot in the snow you'd probably be convinced you saw BigFoot's prints! They are that same shape and size as the famous sightings. I think toe to toe his feet are almost as wide as mine are long (although I have small feet for my height wear size 8 1/2 shoes) Definitelt would not want to pick a fight with someone that size. He could just lift up his foot and "SAS"quash me like a bug with those feet 
Now where would you get such a silly idea? who in their right mind would want to develop a cure for Viagra? I say bring back the death penalty just for that person!

Well, there goes the whole joke! It’s never funny when it has to be explained.
Of course it was my fault (this time). I meant to say (you know I did) to paraphrase with proper grammar/syntax:
“When they invented Vegemite, were they trying to cure cancer or trying to figure out how to make *please use a better euphemism for “keeping a man erect” and I don’t mean “from a seated position...” or... well OK, I guess you can change anything into a euphemism for it. So to keep things clinical we’ll say “for keeping a p***s erect” but that word might be a trigger so it might get removed so I give up on explaining the joke now*

I’m sorry Holly, i got your joke, guess you didn’t get mine. I was playing on the structure of the phrase. I and everyone else knew what you meant. But the way it was written could be interpreted as (mathematical structure) for explanation: invent a cure for (cancer or viagra) rather than as intended: invent viagra or a cure for cancer.
A cure for Viagra would have the opposite effect than viagra. Like an anti-viagra. Hence blowing the unintended blasphemy on your part out of proportion on my part

Uh, yeah, I got that you got the joke, despite my awkward sentence algo-arythmia...
Then the next joke was me trying to explain the 1st joke and then running into problems explaining euphemisms with euphemisms, for the purpose of ***comedy.
*** Really LAME comedy. It’s inherited.

My kids call those dad jokes.
On the subject of “dad jokes.” Why is there no female/mom version of this? Is it because moms/women/girls have much better jokes?
Or is this payback for all this “throwing like a girl” and “screamed like a girl” or “weak like a girl.”
And why specifically are “dad jokes” weak, but other single men’s/boys’ jokes are higher caliber?
Is it because, like “dad bodies”, they’ve kind of relaxed and don’t work as hard to make a joke actually funny. But women still smile at them because, hey, they’re still cute.
And the boys/single men have to try harder because they’re still looking for a potential mate?
See how I can wreck a good joke? This is fun! [emoji106][emoji2][emoji106]

Maybe we should have a category called “Completely Off Topic” or “When The Train of Thought Went Off The Tracks” Or “Tangents In Which We Enjoyed Our Own Sarcasm and Applauded Ourselves For Our Own Cleverness.”

There's a section or thread for pretty much everything here. Sometimes it makes choosing where to post something the equivalent of trying to figure out which number to press to get where you want on an automated answering service. Even for humor Humor-NOS, Just Chat, etc. Including different levels of privacy and access. From open to non members, members only, MVPs, Moderators, and Administrators except Administrators is pretty useless unless David likes to post just to himself. Everything member and above is viewable by everyone only if they have access at that level or higher. Google and other search engines have non member guest access only. The key is to try and remember to avoid posting sensitive or identifiable information in threads open to the general public.
The thing is it doesn't take much, sometimes just one little typo, for things to take off on a totally off topic tangent. Then once in a while I pretend like I'm outraged at the total lack discipline and like if I'm actually doing my job as moderator reminding people they are totally off topic when half the time, if not most of the time, I'm the one, or one of, the guilty parties involved.
Some of the most hilarious posts and ensuing conversations actually start from many of these off topic posts. Contrary to other forums where you'd get flamed for being off topic which although coined as being flamed has more the effect of a cold shower cutting off any possibility of someone taking it and running with it and the snowball would be stopped at the top of the hill. It can be hilarious at times to watch the snowball pick up size and momentum as it goes down the mountain and occasionally one of us, some of us, or many of us get caught in it's path, get flattened by it or picked up by it and that can get even funnier because although we are a very helpful bunch if you get yourself caught up in a snowball rolling down funny farm hill you're on your own and chances of someone helping you out is slim to none. We tend to give it, and hence whoever's caught up in it, an extra little push for added momentum, speed and laughs.
Once in a while a thread will get split from the original into a new one when the side subject has taken on a life if it's own especially in one of the more serious subjects. That has not happened many times since I've been here.
So pretty much everything and anything goes here as long as we all stay respectful to one another. There is a very strong intolerance to anything nasty, mean or rude.
Oh, and SPAM, even if David actually likes the taste of the real stuff we both get severe indigestion from it on the forum. Our "Instant and permanent ban" trigger fingers are always ready and willing to click should someone attempt to blatantly get away with it.
Of course I can only speak for myself and it is only my personal view and opinion when I say all this but I think it reflects the general consensus here.
