adding a "joke" to what has already not started out well is like throwing wine onto a burning person. some may find it funny, some might not. if you happen to be the person burning, you probably would not. so learn to use humor when it's appropriate, and learn proper delivery, because yours doesn't work so well. thanks.
by the way, you didn't get my double meaning on that either. as you said, "PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take a joke." guess i'm not the only one who needs to take his own advice.
No offence but I read the thread and you didn't apear to be 'on fire' and the thread has gone along just fine with nobody even saying a bad word to you and for the record my delivery was fine. So I don't have a clue what you're talking about.
if you didn't notice, then you might want to re-read again. already had someone i thought being a smartass.
and of course you will think that your delivery was fine, else you wouldn't have made it. as i thought my own delivery was fine. however, since you didn't get it, apparently it wasn't, was it? same goes for yours. one person's humor is another's insult and such. really depends on your audience and their mood. wrong humor for wrong mood = not a good delivery or joke. all i was pointing out. you responded saying it was a joke, but apparently you didn't get mine either, albeit the delivery was a bit sharp. ah well, referential humor ftl.
