The resident joker
That’s right. We’ve all got one. Whether they’re manically quoting ‘Little Britain’ or causally dropping ‘What’s the deal with…’ into their every day vernacular, the resident ‘comedian’
I may be a lost cause, but there are thousands of ‘comedians’ inflicting pain on innocent victims all over the world. Surely there must be something we can do. Not that I’m advocating ripping their voice box out of their throat and violently yelling ‘YOU’RE NOT FUNNY’, that would be a over-reaction. Maybe we’ll just have to learn to live with their constant quips and never ending Homer Simpson recitals. Or possible, we could all move to an African village, where I doubt we would come across another “Yeah…but… no….but…yeah…but…no”.

there is soemthing we can do.
It involves a shovel, a sixfoot deep hole and a few hours worth of effort.
To be honest I like the value of a good smartarse. They liven up the atmosphere, help us see things in new ways and hopefully make us laugh as well.

In order to convince me they're 'really funny'? ...
I do not find them amusing. Never have. Never will. I find them pathetic excuses for human beings. And wish I'd never met them.
They are comedic plagiarists ....
Whereas, a person who can be original? ... Just spit shit out at will? ...
I'll hang around that person all night long ... and just ... 'engage' ...

funny thing about comedy is that you CAN get better by watching the greats.
Groucho Marx especially. He is my comedic idol.

'before we begin, has anyone lost a large wad of cash with a rubber band around it? ... because we found the rubber band'
They almost didn't get it, I cracked a worse joke later which fell down so dead I think they brought in them history students to feel the effects of a holocaust... (yeah that was a punchline).
In short: I am a smart ass... or at least thats my online persona
Seriously though theres nothing more annoying than someone who is trying to be funny. It's an 'in the moment thing', these are the kinds of people who might have said a good joke once and are no desperately trying to relive that one joke over and over again. They fail to realize the big shots who come up with jokes on the fly are really few and far in between and the Simpson's is written by a team of writers.
Heres another joke, A nudist lady was feeling ill so she went to the doctor, the doctor said that she was in fact pregnant. 'How could this be?' she asked, 'in my community we only have sex with our eyes (i.e. look, don't touch)'. The doctor replied, 'dear lady, someone in your community is cockeyed'.

I too remember those shocking jokes, non-stop. He was so confident though, he seriously thought at times that they were really funny, even if they had to be explained with a 5000word essay and a full sized picture.
Keep up the great work bill, i'll keep reading.
