THINGS I LEARNED AFTER IT WAS TOO LATE OR DID I?

My latest faux pas was posting a comment on another atheist blog which I thought was very funny.  The subject of the post was church signs one of which had to do with getting on your knees.  I mentioned a local sign which said, “If you think you are without sin then you just added another one to the list.”  Thinking I was very clever I added, “So get on your knees and raise your butts because all you heathens are screwed.”  This, of course, was not understood as humor.  It was interpreted as a christian nut job screed with vaguely homosexual tendencies. 

My bad.

My jokes take a lot of getting used to so I shouldn’t be surprised.  I am not such a great writer that I can make myself understood all the time especially when I’m trying to be funny.  I know that’s what emoticons are for but I just never thought they should be necessary.

So it seems I should go back to keeping my big mouth shut so I can keep my foot out of it.

    Well I thought it was hilarious. :)

    It’s tough sometimes judging humour or attack. Again, I apologize for misunderstanding. In retrospect, I get it. Got it. Get it? Whichever tense is correct.

    My jokes are misunderstood also. Mostly because I have a skewed sense of humour. I would have presumed that, given my bizarre tastes, I would recognize it somewhere else.

    I’ll just use a fundogelical response: I was tired. It was satan. I was misunderstood. It never happened. How dare you accuse me? :)

    No need to keep apologizing, I wasn’t offended. I realized my joke didn’t come across as intended as soon as I saw your original response. It would not be the first time.

    I also shall use a fundagelacious response: I’m sure I can find someone willing to say a prayer for you.

    Sorry. I’ll stop apologizing.
