...Crap, I can really respond to this properly without going radically outside the intent on the thread. Perhaps it would be better (easier/safer/more appropriate) if this tangent was moved to the basement.

I think you probably meant "...I can't really...".
Sorry, I didn't wish to start an argument, it was simply that you made a bald statement of (I presume) POV that I could not see as necessarily being true, so I thought I would point that out, but by all means continue in the Basement if you think that will be "safer" and (say) prevent me from being shot with an AK-47, or something, as I sit at my keyboard...      (((:~>

When I was a kid, I lived in the basement... so... good idea...

^^ Amusing, but probably unlikely. Those men are all pulling a wry face and appear to be looking down - presumably at where their respective brains are located. The dog, on the other hand, is not looking down or anywhere except at the camera, and anyway looks more like a puppy and would not be mature enough to mate at that age. He is probably merely pulling a wry face because someone photoshopped him or something tastes funny in his mouth. Maybe he has just eaten the household budgerigar and is wondering what to do with the feathers. You'd probably have to prise open his jaws to be sure.

Way to take the funny right out of a joke. I thought this was the silly humor thread, not the true stuff thread. Please excuse me if I posted it in the wrong place.

Correct, and the extended discussion while it could be interesting...simply doesn't belong in this thread.

^^ As one of my friends (a teacher) said when I asked him how he enjoyed stimulating the minds of his students, "Some days you try, some days you sigh."

We all have different paradigms - e.g., I only belatedly got @crabby3's rather clever photo joke about the cat's headstone.

That's one of the reasons I rarely - if ever - criticise other peoples' jokes. That is, it could quite well be that I am missing the point of their joke entirely - and anyway, who am I to criticise? I usually find it a useful habit of mind to try and open up my mind a tad to the possible ways in which something that doesn't look/seem funny to me at first glance could perhaps be deemed to be funny from a different perspective, and then I might get the joke after all, maybe as a kind of pleasant surprise, instead of it going right over my head and being lost on me altogether.

Of course, one doesn't necessarily have to approve of a joke just because one might thus be able to understand what could be perceived - by some people - as being funny about it, but then, that goes back to the need to criticise and whether one feels the world must operate according to one's paradigms. For example, there is probably good reason to suppose that the Charlie Hebdo killers would not have seen, allowed, nor accepted that there was any humour whatsoever in the cartoons depicting Mohammed.

^^ Yes, made me laugh too. Very good images. That's why I thought I would augment it! 

Golf genie.
One fine day in Ireland, a gentleman was out golfing and teed up his ball on the 16th hole. He smashed the golf ball with his driver. Unfortunately, his drive went into the woods. He walked down the fairway and went looking for his ball. After searching for a while, he found a little man unconscious with the golf ball lying next to him.

"Goodness," said the golfer, and proceeded to revive the poor little guy.

Upon awaking, the little guy said, "Well, you caught me fair and square. I am a leprechaun. I will grant you three wishes."

The man said, "I can't take anything from you. I'm just glad I didn't hurt you too badly."

The man then turned and walked away.

Watching the golfer depart, the leprechaun thought to himself, "Well, he was a nice enough guy, and he did catch me, so I have to do something for him. I'll give him the three things that I would want. I'll give him unlimited money, a great golf game, and a great sex life."

A year went by and the same golfer went golfing on the same course at the 16th hole. He hit his drive into the very same woods and went off searching for his ball. When he found the ball he saw the same little guy and asked how he was doing.

The leprechaun said, "I'm fine, and might I ask how your golf game is?"

"It's great! I hit under par every time."

"I did that for you. And might I ask how your money is holding out?"

The golfer said, "Well, now that you mention it, every time I put my hand in my pocket, I pull out a hundred pound note."

"I did that for you. And might I ask how your sex life is?"

The golfer looked at him a little shyly and said, "Well, maybe once or twice a week."

The leprechaun was floored and stammered, "Only once or twice a week?"

"Well, that's not too bad for a Catholic priest in a small parish."

I didn't get the Slovakia thing. So, I did a search. I ended up with this:

Some front hallways (mine) aren't all that less creepy, when lit.
