The contender for our worst pm ever. Fifty thousand boat people is a drop in the ocean compared to the numbers coming on Airbusses.

Why do people think that their jokes are funnier when the words are in pictures?

My question was rhetorical. Therefore, it needs no explanation. "Bannerising" jokes is just stupid. Why can't people see that?

 Why do people put a laughing emoji at the end of their so called jokes. Obviously the joke was a failure on every conceivable level & they were trying to perform some sort of divine resurrection. It's not going to happen,... it's dead, HDQ (hung drawn & quartered), buried, cremated... at the very least.

Use your brain & aim for actual memorable jokes.

Looks like the Jokes section is slowly becoming a Debate section.
Gotta have some humour to keep us going.
If it doesn't suit you, scroll on.

 Saw this on another forum.

 

 

 

 

The essence of a joke is in the words. The joke isn't any funnier if the words are "bannerised" into a picture, or encapsulated in an MS DOC file. The text may occupy 100 bytes, but a JPEG or DOC might occupy 30KB. All you are doing is pushing more electrons around the Internet.

Here endeth my rant.

I agree totally with that guy. It seems that great minds really do think alike.
