It works best verbally, and doesn't work at all in written form.

I beg to differ. Lmao.

And this is funny for what particular reason?

This reminds me a joke that was circulating in high school. The joke teller goes into a long, detailed explanation that ends in a nonsense punchline. The person recruits an audience of kids he doesn't know well, and then waits to see who laughs first because said audience member is too insecure to admit he/she doesn't get the joke.

It is more of a prank than a joke.

Hmmm... I remember a kid like that in my class. He would also enjoy tripping kids on the playground.

I guess it loses something via the written delivery!

Would you have preferred Vedic sanskirt or classical.

Carolina · 9 March 2009, 02:51 AM

I will never look at ping pong balls the same way again.

Can someone who understands this please PM me or something? I'm annoyed at myself for even caring enough at this point, but I think I will sleep better tonight having some closure here.

Please tell me what you specifically don't understand and I will explain..I don't think you are going to like me anymore if you had actually liked me at all before.

I think I got it now (thanks, Caroline). Nah, you gotta try harder than that if you don't want me to like you. Maybe a few women-bashing jokes.
