Funny Ha Ha

Don't you find it annoying how some people go "yeeeeaaaah...that's funny :)!" when someone tells them a joke or narrates a funny incident?

What they actually mean is "its NOT funny". If they did find it funny, they wouldn't be saying "that's funny". They would be laughing.

Why can't they just fake laughter.. like the rest of us?

Note: I know. Adam beat me to it. Procrastination kills. Again.

Everything you wanted to know about Bitching

PR's Theory on Cribbing (Bitching/Whining)

Cribbing by nature is a very negative process and sould be avoided. But it can be very harmless if certain conditions are met.

"When both the parties (the cribber and the cribee) are actively involved in the process (i.e. its bi-directional)"

This is a necessary condition for the process to be harmless and enjoyable by everyone. In addition to this, if the following condition is satisfied, cribbing can be a great stress reliever.

"When both the parties know that their cribbing is baseless and they are doing it just to vent out their frustration"

However, compliance with the second condition alone (i.e. uni-directional baseless cribbing to vent out ones frustration) would lead to great annoyance to the receiver (i.e. the cribee).

The most important rule is....

"DO NOT over-do it"

Everyone has a threshold for the amount of cribbing (uni-directional or bi-directional) that they can take. Up until that threshold, you are relatively safe. But once you start crossing the limit regularly, you become 'the perennial cribber' and then everything you say with even a slight hint of disapproval is treated as cribbing, even though you did not mean to crib.

Here's a PJ:

Two friends were walking towards their car in severe snowstorm.

Friend 1: Duuude, driving is going to be really difficult in this condition.
Friend 2: Yeah....... we should play on the backfoot.

(If you didn't get the joke, thats probably because you are not familiar with Cricket.
If you did get it, but found it to be the worst PJ ever.... then Thanks for the compliment.)

I wonder ....

How do they keep men from entering women's restroom in Scotland?

Policy Statement

My mantra in life is:

'When you have nothing to say, Shut the Heck Up!'

Those who know me , also know that I (almost) always follow this rule. So I am going to do that here as well. I will blog when I have something to write about, and not just because nothing has been written in a while.

Silence is not always boring.

Disclaimer: This does not, in any way, mean that everything I write will be meaningful or sensible. In fact, I created this blog so that some day I can come back and read it all and say......"mann, was I messed up or what?"
