Tasteless joke yo, thumbs are what allow us to use tools and thereby be human

I just realized I could open a jar of horseradish without using a thumb. You argument is therefore invalid. :) I wonder if gorillas would like horseradish.

That was my first reaction, but ecib talked me out of it. You would be a pariah: "Hey ref, I'd like you to meet my 5yo nephew, Caleb..."

So bad.

Some people love tasteless jokes! And can't everyone forgive a little initial social awkwardness?

Bad for a job interview tho... Or maybe not. Didn't tng say humor is key?

I guess it depends on the degree of tastelessness required. "Hi there Caleb! I really like your Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle lunchbox. So, this rabbi and a donkey are in a rowboat..." :(

I got in trouble for routinely telling dead baby jokes my freshman year of high school :-/

I forgot about dead baby jokes. That was such a thing. I remember having quite a repertoire of those. Over time, life takes the humor out of those jokes. That's an interesting phenomenon.

I like my women as I like my whiskey: 15 years old and mixed up with coke.

That's all I got. I am not much for remembering jokes but that is so offensive I have never forgot it. I much prefer funny stories over jokes that may or may not be funny.
