1. Water is wet.

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought we were stating the obvious. GD wouldn't have a sense of humor if the President commanded it; half of them would say it was good to have a sense of humor after intellectualizing the point into the floor, the other half would insist that a sense of humor was proof Obama was a RW shill.

2. your subject line is mostly right on

but the responses you got weren't that bad, no they didn't LOL, but I've seen much worse "get over yourselves" replies over less

3. Rational thought is often wasted in GD.

Why should humor be different?

4. I've noticed that jokes fall flat there.

On Edit: Lancaster, PA is only about an hour from here. I got the intended humor and found it quite amusing.

5. Yes, humor is wasted over there.

On the other hand, they could be just rapture-weary.

But you have learned your lesson, so go and sin no more. :)

6. and, when is a simple question NOT a simple question?

7. GD really stands for Generalized Disgust.

I swear, no matter what you say, you've peed in somebody's pool.

8. GD=Grandiose Disdain

Any comment, thought, anecdote, Joke, observation, etc. is ripe for attack there.

It's like a pit of vipers...without the charm.
