re: #187 ProBosniaLiberal
I was trying to go for the “It was a crime for her to be wearing that” road of humor.
yeah. Your first post bordered on funny. Your second, especially with your history of sincere near-fanaticism, made it less so. As was already advised, make certain it’s obvious you intend humor. The lizard convention is one or more slashes (/) at the end. My personal habit is to insert (grin) in most places, and sometimes I use it here.
A couple of things going on to know. First, others are also somewhat humor impaired. I’m guilty of it myself. Second, some people will be passionate about a subject you think is funny, and regardless how funny your remark might be will take offense.
I tend to be that way about important things, too. Like bacon. //
