Well, he was a nosey prick. He never served or protected anyone. He was a nuisance. Spent his life extracting funds from people that committed no crime. One could say a waste of human flesh. Or just a typical cop. Either way, the world is a better place when he is no longer in it.

I don't understand why only the right hand side of this poster is designed to trigger J.K. Rowling.

Yep, it's ripped off a famous British April Fool's about the Swiss spaghetti harvest way back in the 1950s.

Re: Humor - what's so funny?
I wonder if it was really ripped off or if the guy in the first video thought it up, thinking he was the first (or had seen it as a kid, forgot about it, and mistakenly thought he thought it up).

Re: Humor - what's so funny?
There's been a few other takes on it. i noticed a marshmallow harvest in the suggestions... So it's appeared in a few iterations. The spaghetti one is quite famous, maybe not so much stateside but maybe in broadcasting circles. (Ironically, I suppose we could make an argument for saying that Ron Swanson/Offernan's persona in Parks and Recreation is something of a rehash of Dwight Schrute who is himself a rehash of Gareth Keenan in the original version of the Office. I always felt Parks and Recreation was a semi-remake/sequel to the US Office, even down to.including some of the same actors.)Silver Pie wrote: ↑July 1st, 2024, 3:59 pmI wonder if it was really ripped off or if the guy in the first video thought it up, thinking he was the first (or had seen it as a kid, forgot about it, and mistakenly thought he thought it up).

Re: Humor - what's so funny?
There is a photography forum I look at sometimes. I found this, there. https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-811032-1.html
I've been teaching now for about fifteen years. I have two kids myself, but the best birth story I know is the one I saw in my own second grade classroom a few years back.
When I was a kid, I loved show-and-tell.. So I always have a few sessions with my students. It helps them get over shyness and usually, show-and-tell is pretty tame.
Kids bring in pet turtles, model airplanes, pictures of fish they catch, stuff like that. And I never, ever place any boundaries or limitations on them. If they want to lug it in to school and talk about it, they're welcome.
Well, one day this little girl, Erica, a very bright, very outgoing kid, takes her turn and waddles up to the front of the class with a pillow stuffed under her sweater.
She holds up a snapshot of an infant. 'This is Luke, my baby brother, and. I'm going to tell you about his birthday.'
'First, Mom and Dad made him as a symbol of their love, and then Dad put a seed in my Mom's stomach, and Luke grew in there. He ate for nine months through an umbrella cord.'
She's standing there with her hands on the pillow, and I'm trying not to laugh and wishing I had my camcorder with me. The kids are watching her in amazement.
'Then, about two Saturdays ago, my Mom starts going, 'Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh!'
Erica puts a hand behind her back and groans. 'She walked around the house for, like an hour, 'Oh, oh, oh!' (Now this kid is doing a hysterical duck walk and groaning.)
'My Dad called the middle wife. She delivers babies, but she doesn't have sign on the car like the Domino's man.
They got my Mom to lie down in bed like this.' (Then Erica lies down with her back against the wall.)
'And then, pop! My Mom had this bag of water she kept in there in case he got thirsty, and it just blew up and spilled all over the bed, like psshhheew!' (This kid has her legs spread with her little hands miming water flowing away. It was too much!)
'Then the middle wife starts saying 'push, push,' and 'breathe, breathe.
They started counting, but never even got past ten. Then, all of a sudden, out comes my brother. He was covered in yucky stuff that they all said it was from Mom's play-center, so there must be a lot of toys inside there.
When he got out, the middle wife spanked him for crawling up in there in the first place.'
Then Erica stood up, took a big theatrical bow and returned to her seat.
I'm sure I applauded the loudest.
Ever since then, when it's Show-and-tell day, I bring my camcorder, just in case another 'Middle Wife' comes along.

Re: Humor - what's so funny?
Dunno, anyone who thinks everyone is treated equally in prison clearly doesn't know much about them. Prisons have hierarchies, both among the prisoners and in the way the prisoners are treated by the guards.
You could have also added that prisoners have a small carbon footprint.
Of course as I keep on saying statism isn't liberal. People need to stop using positive terms for their opponents like liberal and progressive, because by doing so they're playing the game
