I was considering doing another FKB linkfest today, and had gathered some links to share, but another of us volunteered to do so, and that should be up later today, I presume – this being Wednesday, the usual day.
But I thought I’d share a couple funny links I’d found, which would have been part of one if I’d prepared one for today.
And some funny pictures.

The pictures are priceless, Will.
One of the things that Wall Street was known for in the 80s and 90s was a sick sense of humor that propagated quickly in the mostly-male environment. This was where the “Challenger Disaster” humor evolved, with such classics as “What does NASA stand for? Need another seven astronauts.” Given the hit on 9/11, I did not expect to see any jokes about it originating on the Street. (Like the post card with the cancellation of a plane over the twin towers.) Still, I did once find a page of 9/11 humor. The only one I can remember:
“It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s… Holy Shit! It really is a plane!”

@ EA: Ha!
It’s too bad people today are hypersensitive about jokes in poor taste. Remember Jeffrey Dahmer? I haven’t heard anywhere near as many jokes about Luka Magnotta today as people made back then about Jeffrey Dahmer. And the possibilities are endless; one could joke about an Italian preferring take-out Chinese food, for starters… 😉

That reminds me of the old joke:
Q. What’s a queer’s favourite Chinese food?
A. Cream of sum yung guy.

We do need more 9/11 jokes and humour. And not just the cathartic, healing kind blah blah blah; I mean the honest-to-goodness, pointless, truly tasteless ones. Just because. Shit, it’s been over a decade. Let’s get on with it. Like these two, the first of which was released ‘too early’, but it’s hilarious, IMO:

The second image would work better it there was an “It’s Horrible” at the top, and then a few lines lower had the image and the line. That, amigo, is truly in poor taste!
Which reminds me: for the next joke thread, we need a series of offensive religious jokes. Just the other day at work, I was talking with two colleagues when I looked up and started: “A Muslim, a Christian and a Jew are standing around a cubicle…” Sadly, no humor ensued.
And if you’re going to start with the gay jokes…
What’s the first symptom of AIDS?
A severe pounding in the rectum.

Oh yeah, for sure, we do have to do that! As long as they’re not overly sacrilegious against our faith; I don’t give a toss about the others. 🙂

Good AIDS joke, BTW; not enough of them any more.
Q. How did AIDS get to North America?
A. Bummed a ride.

@ EA: BTW, re: the other half of my post, did you read the Sacramone piece? That guy’s funny. He used to have a blog called Luther at the Movies, in which he yes, reviewed movies, as though it were Martin Luther reviewing them. It was hilarious.

I see some people have found this place through looking for Luka Magnotta jokes. 🙂

So, I heard that British singer Adele is pregnant.
What I’m wondering, is, how can anyone tell? 😉

I mean, right now, she looks like this:
But she used to look like this:
And I predict that after a kid or two, she’ll end up looking back like that. 🙂

Re: the subject of the first humour link in the post:

He is one crazy ass. But I think he’d make an excellent dinner companion, for amusement. 🙂
