Puns! Or more correctly, TV presenters making them every ****ing chance they get! I mean, is it really necessary to the continuation of the human race that every time someone uses music outside a musically-oriented show that the presenter has to make some asinine comment like "I hope they make sweet music together" or "Hope he hits the right note!"??? What about food? Biting off more than they can chew? Or anything to do with medicine: just what the doctor ordered? Jesus, don't these people realise that every pun that can ever be made HAS been made, many many times, and have become no longer even remotely funny? If I hear one more person grin and say something that I could have predicted with one hundred percent certainty they were going to say, ten minutes before they said it, I will go on an indiscriminate killing spree!

It's not bloody funny, and you're not being clever, so just bloody stop it, all right! I've had it up to here with puns! They should be banned, along with the stupid little winks, smiles and self-congratulatory laughs that accompany them!

GAAAHHHH!
Now to have a lie down in a darkened room before I have another of my spasms....

This post just struck a chord with me.

Sounds like TH has had it up to here and is at his wits end.

I don't get it.

Back to my bitching about jury duty for a moment: the foreman of my jury was an amazing combination of stupid and obnoxious that you usually only encounter on the internet. One of funniest things she did was insisting to me that testimony was considered physical evidence. I explained that, no, physical evidence consists of tangible, physical things, not words spoken from the witness stand. We went around on this a few times until I finally said, "You know what, we're just have a semantic debate here that doesn't impact how either of us is voting. Let's just drop it." Her response, "This isn't a semantic debate!" Wonderful, I thought, not only does she not know what the word "physical" means, she also doesn't know what "semantic" means. So, abusing her powers as foreman, she insisted on asking the judge if testimony was physical evidence. They had to reassemble the courtroom for this. Then they called us in, had us sit down in the jury box in front of the judge, the lawyers, the defendant, the gallery, and all the officers of the court. The judge read the foreman's question aloud then responded, "No, testimony is not physical evidence." We were then lead back into the deliberation room and the foreman never apologized, admitted she was wrong or even brought up the subject ever again.

what was the verdict?

Yeah Jansz, she probably thought you were bashing the jews: oh no wait, that would be an ANTI-Semantic debate, wouldn't it? :laughing:

Seriously, can Armageddon come now please, and get it over with? As a race we are too stupid to be allowed to continue to live... :rolleyes:

:rofl:

You should have asked her, "So, was that physical evidence of stupidity?"

:laughing:

I should also mention that this same person called me a moron later that same day.
