I'm Sorry, I just had to do this.

ok, sausagefest was funny. Not surprised you are hearing it for making fun of Greg though.

There's a difference between being wrong and making a joke. Your example statement is stupid because it's simply an invalid statement, whereas the Norman picture was clearly in the context of a joke.

I'm still waiting for someone to explain the "joke". The OP posts a pic of Greg Norman with a large caption saying "EPIC FAIL". Why is it funny? You say it is "clearly a joke". I thought that a joke was something that included a degree of wit, intelligence, perhaps irony and clever word play. Where does this example fit in. To me, it's none of these. It's a cheap, crude, witless, predictable shot.

Now - if some readers find it hilariously funny or mildly amusing, great, but I can do without your pity and ridiculous hyperbole. Now if your previous comment on how I had shamed everyone under the sun was an example of ironic humour, then I find that funny, because it is an excellent form of defusing a stressful situation, but I fear that it was meant in all seriousness. Of course I can choose to ignore any thread I like, and may be contributing to the elemnts of this site I am finding superfluous by keeping this going (Harry Potter, Cigars, Babe polls, cars) but would still appreciate an explanation of why you find it such a fine piece of humour. Apologies to the OP and anyone else, who's over this already, but , rubbery, I think you're a little too offended to be taken seriously, so I assume you're only joking. My last comment on this topic. Feel free to have the last word if you feel you must. (I expect you will.)

I thought it was funny because his hand had come off the club and had hit a bad shot, hence the fail. I suppose there might be a link to the British Open, but for god sake its a joke, people should calm themselves instead of making such a big deal about it.

You said it yourself.

Personally, that's why I find the picture entertaining, it's ironic. Like I said, Greg Norman is a legend; failure is not something with which he is often associated, and like Jay_B said, his hand is off the club like he had just hit a bad shot which just adds to the irony. I never said I laughed so hard milk shot out of my nose. The picture is amusing at best. And for the record, you're right, most of what I have been saying has been a joke. The only thing I've been mostly serious about was the "get a life" statement, but I still found space to toss a joke in with the awe, at least you proved to me you actually do have a sense of humor by finding it funny. I'm done with this as well. Good day, sir.

The end.
