Margaret P. mentioned those working in the health service as having a black humour.

Some people laugh at things they're not supposed to, as a release.

It's human nature.

A coping mechanism, for some, so they don't cry, at the cruelty life can inflict.
True also to defuse and de-mystify things - wartime humour is a great example of how we need to laugh off what disturbs us...
Don't know the commedians you refer too for the most part so can't comment on individuals...

It's like me calling you a nutty bat/drama queen/giddy kipper.

It isn't done with malice.

It diffuses the situation, and affords me a little breathing space, in my hidey-hole.

How dare you make pubblic the sweet nothings you call me in private Li'l Boy Blue?

As for Drama Queen i thought we'd established you were the undisputed King in that department.......

You did forget one -she is very irate and will soon be on your case.

Why thank you all, "bellissimi" -that's so nice -of course it is really me - Gina Loopybridgida version -my alter-ego, invented of course by Chavrinda -whoops, sorry Garinda. He is such a naughty bambino some times and severe punishment awaits him from his Italian "Mamma", he just doesn't appreciate me as you sweet guys do...

(By the way John the day i met you I had my serious "kick-ass" Timberland boots on for going up to the Lakes- will wear them next time I'm over and am going to visit that cute Li'l Boy Blue....)

My avatars always reflect the way I'm feeling day by day, that's the fun in changing them and the signature....it's an interesting game. Watch and keep guessing...

To keep on thread -this is all a commedy...(pathetic attempt...)

Yes Miss Loopybridgida, and I warned you it was too chilly to wear that sweater today...without your vest.

You'll probably wake up tomorrow feeling a little hoarse.



Silly cucciola mia.

That's it, you nailed it ... this is the law, all the rest is commentary ... and whether one laughs or not is a matter of personal taste.

Re: Where's the line for Comedians
Oh ... and to answer the question, there is no line ... if there were, it would be censorship. What's worse, someone telling you what is, or what is not funny ... or some joke you can choose to listen to or not. I remember some Danish cartoons a couple of years back ....
