Tiger linked to Aids virus

[The Mystery Machine]

My first thought was "oh dang, you got me".

Same here.

It is an experiment in the fact that we are a gullible species, to paraphrase MIB.

It's okay to joke about it though

Only if he really doesn't have it. Which I think, we ALL hope he doesn't. Yes, it would be a major tragedy if he does have it.

I think we all need to get up, and say, OK - ANYWAY........ theres a great thread on here about wearing socks with Uggs. Go over there guys!!! Or how about the "Whats for lunch" thread. I know that I personally, really love to hear about what others eat.... especially since I'm always dieting, and eat nothing good/fun. Come on guys, lets go!!!

Nice edit. What you origianally posted surely looked like a rude, attacking post to me.

Are you sure that her saying that everyone that thought the OPs joke was funny is low class wasn't intended as a joke?

 

[N.Bailey]

I'm going to go bang my head against the wall.....

See, it's FUNNY because you THINK it's going to be about tiger WOODS and an AIDS scare with all of this unprotected SEX he's been having with all of these women and THEN you see that it's about a REAL tiger and the AIDS VIRUS being historically linked and...

never mind.

Working my way thru the thread and it looks like some posts may have been pulled, but this is exactly what I thought when I first read the title.

Beating a dead horse.....


One thread at a time.

Sad.

That's my line!


Oh and very interesting that a tiger has aids. I bet we can learn a lot from it.

Yes, I'm stealing it.

Thank you.

OK, I guess I missed something because I thought the article was about how they found a DNA link in from an ANCIENT Tiger, THE ANIMAL, you know the one with the black and orange fur animal--that may be the biological start to aides via a monkey bite--is the article a joke too???

 

[joyjoy]

My first thought was "oh dang, you got me".

Mine, too.
While I didn't fall out of my chair laughing, it was a surprise. Also, I like tigers.

What ruined it completely was the whole explanation of how we are supposed to get it, how we are supposed to think it's funny, and what part of it was and wasn't funny. Too much. Shoulda just left it alone.

 

[N.Bailey]

Seriously, the only thing some posters thought was funny was that they expected to read one thing, and found out it was something completely different than they expected. I'm blown away that some people can't see that? AIDS is NOT funny on ANY level and I think everyone in this thread agrees with that.

Why would anyone get their panties in a wad over this?

no golfgal, the article is legitimate. That's why it was supposed to be funny. Obviously not many peopel thought it was.

I did, though - because it is.

OK, well thanks for your input, joyjoy, but that was for the benefit of the people who rushed into the thread with their outrage all showing.

Also, my favorite part of your post is "Also, I like tigers." That makes this even funnier to me.

 

[OK!]

I saw the thread title half a dozen times and assumed it was about tigers (though not ancient ones); then, when revisiting the DIS after having been gone for a few hours, I saw it again and was like, "OMG, what if it's actually TIGER FREAKING WOODS they're talking about?" I didn't even get the joke.

Because it's the DIS?

So I supposed you don't think this joke is funny either? After Saturday Night Live, Mad Magazine, etc. I have learned to laugh at life.


Breaking news terror alert in Washington

The Washington Redskins football practice was delayed nearly two hours today after a player reported finding an unknown white powdery substance on the practice field. Head coach Jim Zorn immediately suspended practice and called the police and federal investigators.

After a complete analysis, FBI forensic experts determined that the white substance unknown to players was the GOAL LINE.

Practice resumed after special agents decided the team was unlikely to encounter the substance again this season.

Actually, someone posted that same joke here in this thread, only it was about Chicago.

As New Yorker/New Jerseyans - you know the place that actually HAD the largest terrrorist attack, we didn't find it particularly funny at first. But, we didn't feel a need to beat a dead horse about it.

We got that it was supposed to be a joke.
