Do I need to shut the Lounge down?

The ironic thing is that the most frequent posters here are also the most clueless. I've no idea why that is but one would think that they by now would have figured out how to use the ignore button. I suspect that they are snollygoster types.

CdC,
I did read your posts and his. Your first one did not belong in the jokes thread at all. It was a political commentary highlighting Obamas lack of knowldege about certain world leaders.
Your second post was a bit more satirish - I didn't think it was funny, but humour is a subjective thing.
Excaliburs response to you was excessive - I've already stated that my response to you would have been different. I think it is probably fair to say that you have posted more jokes than any other single person on this forum, and many of tham have been absolutely side-splitting! You really should know by now what constitutes a good joke.

I think Jamo was right in closing the thread - what you posted was not a joke, and what you and Excalibur posted in response to each other did not meet that criteria either - first time the joke thread went off topic.

Steve
