So I'm in Safeway Thursday, light crowd, eggs and milk restocked, plenty of bread and baked goods...no TP, paper towels, or hand sanitizer. I needed a couple of big packs of paper towels for my wife's veterinary clinics, she goes through a lot constantly wiping down and sterilizing surfaces between appointments.

Two older farts (I'm getting there myself) were standing by the produce section laughing hysterically about the stupidity of the over reaction to this whole thing...and here's where a heightened sense of humor gets me in trouble...

I walk behind them, they moved out of the way toward the produce cooler, watching me. I go into an emmy caliber coughing and hacking fit, bending over like I can't even stand up through it, it was truly epic. These two scrambled away from me into the refrigerator, one almost falling, and I thought oh crap, the old fart is going to go down and break a hip. I stood up, no cough whatsoever, and said "now that right there was some funny chit".

To say they were pissed is a profound understatement, they were so deeply livid they couldn't even talk. Three of four who had seen it were in hysterics, trust me this was way funnier in person, those two guys reaction was priceless.

My wife said she was seriously glad she wasn't with me, I said come on, give it up, you would have laughed, and she said that's why she is glad she wasn't with me.

In reference to what it meant, why were these guys so freaked out when they had just been laughing about what BS this was? My theory is that people who talk that crap know it's serious, but they talk the crap anyway.

A slightly twisted sense of humor there wood but you should have said if its a bunch of BS why u damn near kill your self getting away from me there is no humor when people are dying they deserved to be humiliated and reminded how serious this is

Sometimes twisted humor is some of the best, the real world opportunities that happen that sharp and twisted minds jump on.

I got a call at 3:00am, even though I had been woken up I was quick on a great response. It was a guy who was in jail wanting to be bailed out, he got his girl friend's number wrong and got mine. He asked where Janet was, I said she couldn't come to the phone she had her mouth full, and hung up when he started making threats.

I been a nurse for almost 30 yrs. Police & nurses any emergency response people tend to have a kind of twisted sense of humor most people who don't see blood and terrible injuries don't understand but it is a type of coping mechanism to help them get through their job. Then there's those that just have a strange sense of humor

That is because they have been listening to Trump explain COVID-19, I mean Chinese Flu 😷

WTF is wrong with you?

Seriously?

And you have the gall to point fingers at Trump....

In China you would be in a quarantine centre right now... And they'd all hate you because you're a foreign idiot...

Could be mentally unstable go for a diagnosis.

Woodguru. Actually you make a good point.
So many are so hardened in their prejudices or brainwashed views. They can't recognize or acknowledge their idiocy or try to learn.

nwtk2007 Loc: Texas

And they would be VERY correct!!

No problem recognizing idiots or BS.

PJT

America1. There is a problem in recognizing idiocy. If not, Biden and the Dems would be down massively in polls. Pelosi, Schumer, Durbin would be heading for political extinction. Add AOC, Omar and Waters.

Years ago, many years ago I received a call. The guy called me by my last name and said he was going to come over and kick my ass, and that I knew what it was all about. I hung up and waited, but he never showed up to kick my ass. I didn't have a clue, until a few days later when I got a call from one of my brothers. He was fooling around with this guy's wife and the guy came home and he went out the back door. All he had was a last name, and I was the first one in the Phone book with my last name so it had to be me.

Thanks bro.

Ah, lighten up.
