I can't do it...

It was suggested by one of our members recently, that I not be so quick to employ humor when responding to posts when it (in his view) detracts from the more 'valuable' information contained in posts that flows in and out of this forum.
After soundly berating the man for his caddy innuendo, I reconsidered the attempted assassination of my character and decided to use a different approach regarding my replies to posts and, in short, to see if he could have been right.
So, for the past twenty-four hours I have in no way shown, or suggested, any humor in my replies to the posts of others. In addition, I have tried my level best to keep those replies to as short a response as possible.
Well, folks, I just can't do it. It's not in my personality to let an opportunity to crack wise, go by. I tried, mind you, but the strength to keep my big yapper shut is just not there.
So how about a funny story? :)

One of the regulars comes into the poolhall where I play, leading a sheep on a leash.
The manager says, "You can't bring that animal in here."
The guy says, "Well, what should I do with her?"
"Take her to the zoo." Says the manager.
The next day the guy comes back in with the sheep.
"I thought I told you to take that thing to the zoo!" Yelled the manager.
"I know what you told me," the guy responded. "Yesterday I took her to the zoo. Today I'm taking her to the movies."

I feel lot's better now. :)

wait......what......he's taking her to the movies......but he's in the poolhall.....I don't get it, what's the punchline?....is it that he thinks the sheep is his wife and we know that the poolhall owner meant for him to leave it at the zoo but the funny part is that the guy thinks the sheep is a woman?
 
We had NOTHING but serious posts the whole time you were getting your decks reworked and we are ready for a little jocularity.

Cuebuddy is tired of meaningful and thought-provoking posts.:p

No, Jesse. When they leave the poolhall they're going to the movies. After that maybe some dinner, a little wine...who knows what the evening has in store. There is one thing though. You can't beat a good sheep. :)

How could someone even remotely consider "assinating" your character, Tramp?

You just keep on keeping on. :thumbup:

Best,

Tramp can't be serious any more than I can drive at the posted speed limit...

I love his humor...keep it up, guy!

As a long time smart ass, I appreciate the humor. Too many of the "Serious Posts" are borderline idiotic. I see too many posts that are obviously just put up to see what will stick against the wall and get some responses.

As a lifetime pool player I do appreciate the site itself and all the valuable information on here, and especially the Action Forum, where I have lined up some games myself.

There is room for all of us, but if we can't laugh at ourselves and more importantly, other people:grin:, what are we doing one here anyway.

Besides all that.....In all the time you have been in a pool room....(and from what I hear it has been a LOOOOONG time)....have you ever been in a pool room that had nothing but classroom seriousness going on????

When that happens....I am out the door. :)

Thanks, John.
By-the-way. I have a brand new touring motorcycle and cousins in California. If I get out that way, how about a few games of One Pocket? I've heard that a person can never be the best if they've never played the best. :)

Tramp actually meant 'assignation' of his character....
...he's got one coming in the mail

Assassination is what one does to 'kill' the cue ball..
..on a table that doesn't roll right...
Come to think of it..some of my opponents don't roll right either

pt..<...who realizes that KC got him again...I was trying to be :cool:
