Hi SaligaoNetters,
A joke is a joke, yes! & it affords us amusement & lightens up our
load/life, & laughter is good for us...the Doctors on this Net will assure
us that "Laughter is the best medecine". But I noticed that the "fathers"
of Saligaonet have not commented yet.... why? because they probably think we
should stick to the original procedure - postings on Saligaonet are to
comprise of info, news, references to Saligao only. ...at least that is
what I was told on joining this Net. Now if any of us have jokes with
regard to Saligao, let us hear them but remember that what one might
consider a joke may not be accepted by the one (Saliganvkar) who is the butt
of the joke - in other words we are back to where we started, hurting
sentiments of other Saliganvkars irrespective of caste or creed. For me, I
dont have a problem, many jokes have been cracked at my expense (you know
those age old ones of skeleton, palmtree etc. etc.) but like Maxwell, I
probably have the skin of a rhinocerous. Cant vouch for the others.
From: Maxwell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Personally I myself see no harm in anyone posting good intelligent jokes on
the SN.
Where do we get these intelligent jokes from? I mean all the jokes that
I've heard or come across are silly rather than intelligent, they are meant
to be silly, bizarre & that is why they are called jokes because they tickle
our funny bone or appeal to our sense of humour rather than to our
intellect. Now some riddles could be classed under "intelligent" but I
doubt they will afford us a laugh.
generally quiet SN with most netters choosing to maintain a total
'listening watch' rather contribute once in a while at least. I am not to
be excused either.
Glad you admitted the fact Maxwell ... uh huh! you are a listening watcher,
though to be fair you do make an occasional posting. Having said that, I
still wonder why our SaligaoNet is silent - once upon a time (this is no
fairy tale of Saligao) the net was "agog" with postings...yeh yeh I know one
is agog with expectations etc..... - so what happened to all those Netters
who used to make the SaligaoNet an interesting one - those from different
parts of the globe - Canada to Down Under & all the places inbetween?
Anyway Saligaonet gave us our Goa election results for which I am thankful -
mostly due to Rico's postings. thanks Rico! & just for your info both my
mum & sister noted that their names were back on the electoral rolls prior
to June 2nd (albeit a supplementary) and of course not without argument &
use of a few choice words at the Mamlatdar's office, but they were able to
cast their votes.. Our neighbours are still not on the rolls, (their names
too were struck off the rolls whether accidentally I wouldnt know) hopefully
they'll see their names on the rolls during the next elections 2012? So once
again thanks to Rico for posting the Donvaddo roll on Saligaonet since I was
able to convince Fiona to follow up even though they couldnt vote at the
Panchayat Elections.
all our Saligaonetters' intellectual minds
perhaps a tall order! Refert to one of my paras above.
Yes, the "FWD forward" mails are a pain to receive & to delete.
So which is going to be the first joke on Saligao? I'm looking forward to
the same
Ta ra
Annette
