Title: A Completely Not Serious Thread
Post by: George on November 14, 2007, 08:08:25 AM
I thought maybe we could have some fun by creating a thread where no one is serious about anything they say. No topic other than let's see how long we can go joking around about whatever, having fun, but NOT being serious.

(Of course this post is serious, but any from here forward won't be serious.)  :)

Threads are serious, of course, if you are a shirt.

Of course, if you don't give a shirt, you should at least give a sock.

And then the guy will call his lawyer, and you'll end up losing your shirt!

And then people will needle you, but of course we all needle each other, don't we?

Like Barbra Streisand!   :o

I needle her like a haystack, which sounds obscene, sew it must be time to go!

Blikk: Madonna, Budapest says hello with arms that are spread-eagled. Did you have a visit here that was agreeable? Are you in good odor? You are the biggest fan of our young people who hear your musical productions and like to move their bodies in response.

Madonna: Thank you for saying these compliments [holds up hands]. Please stop with taking sensationalist photographs until I have removed my garments for all to see [laughs]. This is a joke I have made.

Blikk: Madonna, let's cut toward the hunt: Are you a bold hussy-woman that feasts on men who are tops?

Madonna: Yes, yes, this is certainly something that brings to the surface my longings. In America it is not considered to be mentally ill when a woman advances on her prey in a discotheque setting with hardy cocktails present. And there is a more normal attitude toward leather play-toys that also makes my day.

As long as I don't have to sing it all the way through with my daughter once she's of an age to want such songs, then you can put up as many green bottles as the wall can support. ;D

Why does Ice cream have to taste really good, but not that good for you?

I was laughing out loud at my desk reading this.  Will provide a good laugh for some who work or have worked in an office.   ;D

HOW TO POOP AT WORK
We've all been there but don't like to admit it. We've all kicked
back in our chairs
and suddenly felt something brewing down below. As much as we try to
convince ourselves
otherwise, the work poo is inevitable. For those who hate pooping at
work, consider the
following survival guide:

CROP DUSTING: When farting, you walk briskly around the office so the
smell is not in your area and everyone else gets a whiff but doesn't know where it came
from. Be careful when you do this. Do not stop until the full fart has been expelled.
Walk an extra thirty feet to make sure the smell has left your pants.

FLY BY: The act of scouting out a bathroom before pooping.Walk in and
check for other poopers. If there are others in the bathroom, leave and come back
again. Be careful not to become a frequent flyer - people may become suspicious if they catch you constantly going into the bathroom.

THE ESCAPEE: A fart that slips out while taking a leak or forcing a
small poop in a stall. This is usually accompanied by a sudden wave of embarassment.
If you release and escapee, do not acknowledge it. Pretend it did not happen. If you
are in the stall next to the farter, pretend you did not hear it. No one likes an
escapee. It is uncomfortable for all involved. Making a joke or laughing makes both
parties feel uneasy.

JAILBREAK: When forcing a poop, several farts slip out at a machine
gun pace. This is usually a side effect of a hangover. If this should happen, do not
panic. Remain in the stall until everyone has left the bathroom to spare everyone the
awkwardness of what just occurred.

COURTESY FLUSH: The act of flushing the toilet the instant the poop
hits the water.
This reduces the amount of time the poop has to stink up the bathroom.
This can help you avoid the WALK OF SHAME.

WALK OF SHAME: Walking from the stall, to the sink, to the door after
you have just stunk up the bathroom. This can be a very uncomfortable moment if
someone walks in and busts you. As with farts, it is best to pretend that the smell does not exist. Can be avoided with use of the COURTESY FLUSH.

OUT OF THE CLOSET POOPER: A colleague who poops at work and is damn
proud of it. You will often see an out-of-the-closet-pooper enter the bathroom with a
newspaper or magazine under his or her arm. Always look around the office for the
out-of-the-closet-pooper before entering the bathroom.

THE POOPING FRIENDS NETWORK (P.F.N): A group of co-workers who band
together to ensure emergency pooping goes off without incident. This group can help you monitor the whereabouts of out-of-the-closet-poopers and identify SAFE HAVENS.

SAFE HAVENS: Seldom used bathrooms somewhere in the building where
you can least expect visitors. Try floors that are predominantly of the opposite
sex. This will reduce the odds of a pooper of your sex entering the bathroom.

TURD BURGLAR: Someone who does not realize you are in the stall and
tries to force the door open. This is one of the most shocking and vulnerable moments that can occur when taking a poop at work. If this occurs, remain in the stall until the turd burglar leaves. This way you will avoid any uncomfortable eye contact.

CAMO-COUGH: A phoney cough that alerts new entrants into the bathroom
that you are in a stall. This can be used to cover up a WATERMELON, or to alert potential TURD BURGLARS. Very effective when used in conjunction with an ASTAIRE.

ASTAIRE: The subtle toe-tap that is used to alert potential turd burglars that you are
occupying a stall. This will remove all doubt that the stall is occupied. If you hear
an astaire, leave the bathroom immediately so the pooper can poo in
peace.

WATERMELON: A poop that creates a loud splash when hitting the toilet
water. This is also an embarassing incident. If you feel a watermelon coming on,
create a diversion.
See COURTESY FLUSH and CAMO-COUGH.

HAVANA OMELETTE: A case of diarrhea that creates a series of loud
splashes in the toilet water. Often accompanied by an escapee. Try using CAMO-COUGH with an ASTAIRE or COURTESY FLUSH.

Chamber Nut, I can honestly say without exaggeration that I have never laughed so hard reading anything on this forum. (Thankfully no farts escaped while I was laughing uncontrollably.

Thanks so much!  :D

Glad you enjoyed it George.  I had a hard time not laughing out loud at work while reading this.  It was early in the morning, so not many people were at work yet, thank goodness.  ;D

I hadn't thought so. I believe he is only as serious as your perception of him is. So, you will have to take the entire blame, George... :D

Is that a good thing? If it is, is it an entirely good thing or a mixed blessing?

The day before yesterday, I made up this completely stupid joke, and mostly just at the thought that I had just made up this, like, completely stupid joke, I was near convulsed in laughter at myself, and it all I could do to maintain composure, which after all my office-mates do rely upon me to maintain.

It goes like this:
