Like I said not my audience. To people who enjoy this kind of humor it was nothing but playful. This conversation is not playful. < I did not see one reference to music in your post however, and even if there had been, I would not have recognized it for what it referred to (a musical chord).> I was just explaining Card's joke thinking you might not know what he was referring to, as a courtesy to you. < I guess since you can't know every member of the audience you can't always make everyone laugh. What sort of audience would have laughed the hardest, I wonder.> I have my fans. Some of them lurkers. What kind? Very funny people who share my tastes. < One thing I will say, your timing was good, what with Easter coming and all that.> I heard they cancelled Easter this year, they found the body. I am always curious why you would take the time to express that you don't enjoy my humor. Humor is just a personal preference, it probably can't be summed up in concepts like "what sort of audience". Your telling me you don't like it is the same as you telling me that you don't listen to blues music. The feedback isn't going to change my preferences. I wrote it to make myself laugh and the people who share my tastes will too. This is comedy concerning ideas and mythology, no one is getting hurt. This is not a Christian based site so someone would have to go out of their way to be offended. Maybe you can post something that really makes you laugh so I can get an idea of what floats your boat in humor. > > > > > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Ann" <awoelflebater@> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "curtisdeltablues" > > > <curtisdeltablues@> wrote: > > > > > > > > Clever title.
