fantasticsound Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 And... there it is! Our first reference to Christmas this year... at least it wasn't an advertisement! Hey Randy... I thought that was less offensive to you than to rip on your bad joke! It's easiest to find me on Facebook.

Dr. Ellwood Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I guess before I lived through five years of hell watching my mom degenerate from a vibrant highly educated and talented woman to a shell of herself and die due to Alzheimers I might have found any reference to this desease to be funny. Is this kind of thing really necessary? http://www.thestringnetwork.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this kind of thing really necessary? Yea....I wasn't gonna say anything, but you are right on here, ellwood. Perhaps if it's "bad or corny" humor, we should just NOT present it here. This was in poor taste, and offensive to those unfortunate amoungst us who suffer personally, or have family members who suffer from Bipolar Disorder, which is a biochemical brain disease. Personally, I don't find any humor in such a joke. Don "There once was a note, Pure and Easy.

Kramer Ferrington III. Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Oh, I ignored this thread, thinking it was going to be about "what overdrive should I buy my kiddies"? But yeah, my grandfather had Alzheimer's too. Not a pleasant thing at all. Anyway... Santa's getting old and one day he gets a letter telling him to come in and resit his pilot's license. So he turns up in his sleigh to the airport and is joined by one of the testers, who's carrying a clipboard and 12 gauge shotgun. Santa looks puzzled and asks, "What's the shotgun for?" And the tester replies, "Well, I shouldn't be telling you this, but halfway through the test, you're going to lose an engine."

Strategery Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 My mom had alzheimers as well along with cancer. It's a joke people....geez. Oh yeah, did I mention that both of my parents died of cancer? One 2 years ago, one 4 years ago. It's a joke....nothing more than that. Life goes on. Trust me, both my parents would've laughed at this one. :grin: Laugh a little...it'll make your day much better. Randy "Just play!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdrs Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 It was offensive. You need to work on your sensitivity. Don "There once was a note, Pure and Easy.

Strategery Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 OH-MY-GOD. I'm sorry, I mistook you guys as having a sense of humor. Sorry, no sensitivity training here.I accept life...I'm not offended by it. Come on man. IT'S.....A.....JOKE. GEEZ. Randy http://www.leler.com/santa96/santa1.jpg "Just play!"

mdrs Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 The issue is not that we don't have a collective sense of humor. I think we do fine in that department. The issue here seems more to be your apparent lack of sensitivity. If you cared about the feelings of those that expressed that they were bothered by the Bipolar "joke", I'd think a simple "sorry, I didn't mean to offend" would work. Defending what others here consider a joke that was in poor taste, or perhaps offensive, seems to reinforce the feeling that you are insensitive. Perhaps attacking other's sense of humor also reinforces this perception. I dont' want to belabor this....it was a stupid joke. Maybe we should just drop it at that.
