Some people have other shit going on and can’t respond immediately
Stop trying to claim that one of your lesser gags is some kind of impenetrable avant garde comedy. By your standards, it was, at best, an average pun. Not your usual biting satire or belly laugh material.
Fenerbahce/Fibonacci. Finish yourself off and fetch your own tissues
If you do, in my experience, what happens next is that it's like getting run over by a train. You might attribute my rugged good looks to this experience.
Anyway, my money is on chic to be on choo choo duty.
I *may have had a few drinks and a very nice dinner in Edinburgh prior to the Calcutta Cup today. So was probably being even more arsey than usual.
However, what kicked me off wasn’t that you weren’t “funny enough.” It was your insistence that this particular joke had gone over talkbackers’ heads and that somehow your comedy genius wasn’t being suitably recognised.
I can imagine you in your underpants in a Bolsover kitchen, ar outspread“Are you not fucking entertained!!??”
Insistence is a bit of an exaggeration. The over the heads was - I thought - an obvious and slightly self-deprecating reference to Eliot Anderson's crossing ability (given how often I mention it as a fully paid up member of your pessimists club). I'm guessing you took it as arrogance, when I was suggesting it was a bit shit.
I've no idea if you're enjoying imagining me in my underpants. I'm actually on the exercise bike wearing gentlemens sports leggings. AND padded shorts. I'm sorry that you don't enjoy my efforts at humour sometimes. I try them for other people's enjoyment as opposed to self-gratification. Especially when the reason we're all here is being even more of a basket case than usual.
Play nice kids, we are all just taking the piss here, between the long bouts of misery.
It's a recognised talkback form to leave a tease out there, we need to step up to the level and deliver the punchline faster than a forest forward finish. Tissues, or otherwise. Tissues is very middle class, guru, you'd have lost ingo - should have said your favourite sock.
In other news, I wonder how we do in the FACup today. Who are we playing?
