The link is significant in that it illustrates the potency of humour in the most seemingly inappropriate of settings. Granted, an ability to see and seek humour during a personal loss does not give one carte blanche to traipse insensitivity over each and every tragic situation in life. I’m certainly not advocating a (metaphorical or otherwise) dancing on graves.
But, I feel (and of course what’s Pepper’s Paté may be another’s dogfood) that the release mechanism in the personal context may indeed be linked to some manner of Jungian super-consciousness when it comes to more widepread, universal jokemaking :roll: .. hmm, maybe my dismissal of the nobility gig was a tad premature :-k

Or maybe it isn’t? Maybe “cheap” shots prevail for the sake of it and nowt else? 8-[

Personally, I like to see the good in people.

I’m certainly not going to condemn the humour applied to this thread. In the face of such unimaginable horror – humanity’s ability to dream up, deflect and infuse must surely come to the fore.

coming from someone who has a retardation (your irish)

See? Now THAT’S funny :lol: :lol:

Samuel Beckett once wrote “Nothing is funnier than unhappiness, I grant you that. Yes, yes, it’s the most comical thing in the world.“

Now, granted, dear old Sam didn’t seem to be the happiest of blokes – though there are many personal references to him being quite warm and approachable on occasion – but he was instilled with a particular gallows humour that is indeed quite common in Ireland and the UK.

Of course the whole “Where do you draw the line?” gig is THE question with regard to it all :roll: .. Are there ABSOLUTE no-go humorous areas? Or is a relative, contextual stance a more realistic (albeit challenging) alternative?

On a very personal level.. I have found such humour a massive release. In the midst of a pretty devastating tragedy towards the end of last year, my own family’s slightly offside humour had a curious alleviating quality, whilst at the same time producing a curious sense of fortification for us all.

I suppose in many ways the Joke / Don’t Joke debate bears many similarities to some kind of Transference / Repression argument in modern psychology :roll: ..
But that’s a matter for another day :wink: … Innit??

:roll:

INNIT just! 8)

How ya diddling Mr Peps?

INNIT to be sure! :P

Greetings Lady Sian :wink:

Hey Shaz.. I’m approaching a mere 1,000 posts soon! I’m right “on the cusp” as it were! So ( despite you being ten times the person I am :wink:) how about a synchronised scenario to celebrate our respective milestones huh? :P

I already have a dodgy hip from a fall years ago and that kicks in a lot all these years on so Im expecting this to add to it.

Had a wicked sleep last night, the pain killers and big V shaped pillow really were a great help.

Bit sore this morning, was to be expected I suppose, so gonna chill for another day.

Glad to hear you slept well Sharon :) .. keep taking things easy xx
