You’re a Gemini, right? There’s a new surgical procedure available in which a sense of humor can be implanted for those not having one.

Might give it a try.

What, no cannibal jokes on this thread?

“What do you call a cannibal who devoured his mother-in-law?”

“A Gladiator!!” Bada boom bada bing!

BTW, are you familiar with the dish known as a “cannibal sandwich”?

;^)

In survival situations, cannibalism was and is a lot more common that people are willing to discuss.

"Human cannonballs? Why on earth would anyone want to be shot out of a cannon?!? And be HAPPY about it?!?

NEVER MIND!" < sweet smile >

Amen. Every year I go over to Crescent City to see family and some days are cold and foggy even in the summer and fall but all I do is drive east about 20 minutes and I am in 80 degree sunshine and clear blue water(Smith River), and beautiful giant redwood trees. Nothing like it except where I live, Maui Hawaii. The best of two worlds.

Hmmm, sounds to me like they may have stumbled onto the first prehistoric site discovered with shmoos.

From the middle of the article:

Indeed, experts have speculated that 7,000 years ago, Europe may have been in the grip of dramatic climate change, with widespread famine and social collapse following in its wake.

Of course, they omit to say that if one looks at ice core data, the climate change of 7,000 years ago was the start of a cooling trend after warmth exceeding that at any time since civilization arose.

I might need your help getting one of those implant operations. I have no sense of humor, of which I am aware.

I have made a concerted effort to learn a few jokes, but it’s difficult telling them to people, because when they laugh they have to explain it to me - ‘cause I don’t “get” it.

I mean I “got it” a few times when I was young, but those girls would never go out with me again.

I am faitly conversant with existential jokes though. For example:

Q: Why did the monkey fall out of the tree?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

A: It was dead.

If they found a shmoo well then it’s all true.

“7,000 years ago, Europe may have been in the grip of dramatic climate change,”

Yet another thing to blame on or forecast for climate change,
canabilism!
