It was nothing more than abuse of this board and wasting people's time with misinformation.
I guess I didn't "lighten up."
Wow, what a buzz kill. I am a parent and husband and I got one rule in my house. You must laugh. Life is tough enough and if you come into my home and don't enjoy a good joke or a good laugh, you will learn the fine art of being silly and laughing.
Hey, truthfully, I didn't think it was all that funny either, (except for the typo) which was an accident. However, if you think I am wasting people's time, don't respond. If you downers actually took it serious, hey I got a bridge to sell you. Are you guys so old that you forgot what it is like to be silly and light. After all, isn't that what Disney is all about. Finding the kid in you. I really find it sad that you both seemed to have lost that.
There are so many real horrible and sad stories in the world, why not lighten things up a bit with a bit of weird humor. It might not be for everyone, but don't be such downers and mean.
Why don't you both start a thread called, life is serious and don't be silly damn it. Or, no laughing around here or you will be yelled at. Man, what kind of world would that be.
By the way, I do value my credibility, when it comes to giving good advice, helping people with their trips, giving some concern when they are ill, and making them laugh on a thread that is obviously meant to be zany. (I'm not exactley a fly by night here, just look at how many posts I have and not all of them are tall tales). Some but not all.
Do I care if you laugh, I guess I do. I have started many posts where people actually thanked me for giving them a chuckle and putting a smile on their face. Harmless, silly, humor. If it is not for you, don't ruin it for others.
If I sound a little peeved, I am. First of all, if you took this as a serious story, all I could say is WOW. Secondly, if you really found it was politically incorrect, get real. My father actually lost his leg to cancer, so I was not making fun of anyone with any disabilities. In fact, without getting too much into my personal life, I am part of an organization that helps people with disabilities and the elderly. So really, there is no reason to be so mean and judgmental because you didn't think it was funny, just let others enjoy the ride and ignore it.
For those of you who enjoyed it, I'm glad. It is good to see there are still people out there that like to laugh.
By posting the negative comments, you are actually going out of your way to say something negative about someone. That is not cool karma and you are the only one hurt by such negativity.
Well played.
