OK, maybe more than one. :yesnod:

Say Ira, I heard there's 13 year old in that house with a Colt.45.
Appalling, Lamar, it's illegal and immoral for a youth to consume alcohol.
Ira, I feel it's my civic duty to intercede on behalf of the community.
Yes, Lamar, it would be shameful to turn our backs on a fellow human being gone astray.
Then it's agreed, Ira, we shall have an intervention, but we must proceed with stealth, so as not to frighten the child.
Splendid thought, Lamar, lead on.

From Reuters

Quote:

By Eric M. Johnson

SEATTLE (Reuters) - A 73-year-old man who had been pulled over for driving without his headlights was arrested by a Seattle police officer after he tried to snort cocaine in front of the stunned patrolman, authorities said on Friday.

After the officer checked the man's license and registration during the traffic stop on Tuesday evening, the patrolman walked back to the man's Toyota. When he peered into the car he saw the man "portioning out a scoop of cocaine from a small glass vial," the department said in a statement.

"What is that? Are you kidding?" Officer Nic Abts-Olsen can be heard saying to the man in an exchange captured by the patrol car's dashboard camera. "You're about to snort coke on the side of the road?"

The man was startled to see Abts-Olsen and spilled the white powder on his hands and on the car floor, telling the officer it was "vitamins."

"Finally, the man relented, complimented Officer Abts-Olsen on his keen detection skills and admitted that snorting cocaine in the middle of a traffic stop was, perhaps, a poor decision," the department's statement said.

The man was arrested and booked into the King County Jail for narcotics possession.

Abts-Olsen told the man, who had an unblemished driving record, that he was going to let him off with a warning for driving without his headlights, but for the cocaine.

It was perfectly safe, he had a cruiser with flashing lights behind him so nobody would hit him while he was doing a line beside the road. Besides, he's 73, how's he supposed to remember the cop's coming back? It also clears up why he couldn't find his license to chop that line with. ;)

Gravdigr 12-05-2015 04:26 PM

I thought maybe the bump was to keep him awake til the cop came back to the car.

Sounds like it was dusk, so, he was probably returning form the early-bird special...


Or he was firing himself up to get those pesky kids off his lawn when he got home.:crone:

lumberjim 12-06-2015 10:13 AM

Only people that do, or have done coke know to refer to a small line as a bump. Guess we're both outed now.

Woodland, North Carolina, rejects a solar panel farm.
Quote:

Jane Mann said she is a local native and is concerned about the plants that make the community beautiful.
She is a retired Northampton science teacher and is concerned that photosynthesis, which depends upon sunlight, would not happen and would keep the plants from growing. She said she has observed areas near solar panels where the plants are brown and dead because they did not get enough sunlight.
She also questioned the high number of cancer deaths in the area, saying no one could tell her that solar panels didn’t cause cancer.

It has been around in the news quite a bit: On Christmas Day three men in western Germany strapped explosives to a condom vending machine in order to help themselves to its contents. However one 29 yo member of the trio was slow to duck for cover and was fatally hit by shrapnel.

Tory councillor accidentally sent details of 'smear plot' to intended targets
Quote:

A Tory councillor tried to persuade party colleagues to join him in a smear campaign against local domestic violence services and women’s rights campaigners, a leaked email shows.

Scott Harris, a Conservative member of Portsmouth council, wrote in the email that he had been compiling information on a number of political opponents operating in the city before council elections.

He singles out Aurora New Dawn, a local domestic violence support charity, and its chief executive, Shonagh Dillon, as well as a local chapter of the feminist group Sisters Uncut, who have been critical of council plans for drastic cuts to domestic violence services.

However, they and others named by Harris received the email after it was mistakenly sent out in a chain. The message says: “The elections are coming and the politics are dirty. The tricks by the Lib Dems, the lies and the smear are disgusting.

"Quite frankly it might be a good idea to play dirty this time. I know we shouldn’t go down to their gutter politics but should we continue to stand by and allow this to go on?

“I’m also compiling some stuff on Shonagh Dillion [sic], Aurora New Dawn and Sisters Uncut. Interestingly I’ve found some stuff on [local socialist activist] Jon Woods and the SWP locally which will be useful when the loony left come calling nearer May.”

It's probably not much of an idea to destroy a wasps' nest in your garage by means of fire, especially when the garage is attached to your house.

Quote:

Fire started in garage to destroy wasps’ nest has tragic result

Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service are urging residents not to battle wasp nests with fire.
This follows a blaze in a garage in Bletchley, which was severely damaged yesterday as a result of attempting to destroy a nest.
The first floor of the house was also damaged by the smoke.
Paramedics treated two men who were suffering from the effects of breathing in smoke.

This happened in Michigan. What do you want to bet this teacher knew better before the election, but once Michigan became an unexpected flip-state, suddenly decided he (and I'd bet a million dollars it's a he) was actually in the majority and could pull a stunt like this?

The thing about the real world is, people talk like it's some kind of wild west, but a whole lot of it is actually exactly like this.

If you repeated this joke to your neighbor, and they thought it was mildly offensive, are you going to get arrested? No. Are they going to go home and cry? No. But they won't like you as much, and the next time you are sick and need a meal, or the next time you want to borrow a tool, you won't find them as receptive. Add up more than one of these incidents and they'll actively dislike you, and call the city when your trees get slightly-too-low or your garbage can comes in a few hours later than it's supposed to.

If you posted this list in your cubicle, someone would complain. Would you be suspended? No. But you'd be on someone's mental shit list. The trigger would be faster for your next offense. At some point you'd be up for manager promotion, and they'd say, "You know what? A manager has to be more diplomatic than most, this guy has proven he can't keep everyone motivated, give the job to Gary instead."

I'm as big a fan of inappropriate humor as anyone. But one of the things that makes it funny is the very fact that you can't get away with saying it just anywhere you want. Otherwise it wouldn't be a top 10 Letterman list, it would just be that thing some advertising agency put up on the bus ad, and you'd be bored by it.

If we can't mock other cultures with humor, I'm out.

Clodfobble 11-20-2016 09:13 AM

Anytime, anywhere, no matter what? Can I mock Sundae's culture in the thread about her being in the hospital? There are times and places. The rest is just haggling over where the line is.

xoxoxoBruce 11-20-2016 09:52 AM

There's a clear difference between group culture and a individuals plight. You know that.:eyebrow:

footfootfoot 11-20-2016 10:46 AM

An English friend of mine, i.e. of Sundae's culture, told me his father's favorite expression is "If you can't laugh at cripples, then who can you laugh at?"

Come to think of it, he's actually Welsh, so he probably doesn't have a leg to stand on.

Or not?

Undertoad 11-20-2016 11:18 AM

It's entirely about intent for me. If you intended to make people laugh you're good. If you intended to hurt then you're not.

Yup.

It's also about where the power is. A member of a stronger majority making fun of a member of a less powerful minority for the entertainment of other members of the stronger majority is a little too close to bullying for me to feel comfortable with it. Not saying that's always the case, but often enough.

If you intended to make people laugh, those various groups might be OK with it ... except PETA (they lost their sense of humor back at Thump-a-Pup).

Clodfobble, some of the comments referred to the teacher as "she", but male was my thought too.

However, the idiocy lies in not realizing this was not going to be OK in the situation. Regardless of whether we agree with the OKness, this was never going to wash in a school setting. Even in Monroe, which is almost in Ohio

Clodfobble 11-20-2016 09:36 PM

There's a link to a compilation video of fire challenges, about 20 or so of them. For some reason people with pale complexions are grossly under represented in the compilation video.

Oh, not to be pedantic but fire challenge gone wrong is a tautology.
