Sure hang out for awhile just don't go ballistic and start hacking things...I don't know what happened to the bartender... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" /> If you can find libation help yourself. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/party.gif" alt="" /> The fridge is full and the keg is tapped. I belive some pirates donated some rum also...Somewhere... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> Oh, watch out for the bathtub. I belive there is something wrong with it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

MMM, You would have to talk to Kiya/treasurer/torturer/dentist. She handles all that payment stuff. The rest of us just gather and pay tribute. I am sure the T.V. had magical properties of it's own, so I hope you have alot of gold! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> Oh and since you have those big sharp teeth I wouldn't smile to much around her. The last I saw she was mumbling something about a mosaic for a wall in the Lair! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif" alt="" />

Sounds cool! Just make sure everyone keeps their swords tucked in! BTW I think there is a pinhole sized button that looks exactly like the wall that you can push to deactivate the trap. It resets quick so ya gotta move fast! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

It is funny as a joke

Sorry, I can't agree.


@ HandEFood,
Yes indeed, not in Australia. I heard this joke long ago in Italy because their driving is eh.
And guess what, they even laughed.
Anyhow that was not the point, and your disagreement is a very good indicator to a healthy mentality that finds no fun in being sarcastic about death.

I had a friend the brother of which was born with a genetic disorder that caused his left side to have some disfiguring in the left leg, the left hand and his left side of the face. He limped and his left arm was shrunk and bent, while he talked in a very strange way. One day I was visiting my friend when a bad mannered colleague of both of us was there too (it was during our college years). The handicapped brother tripped in the carpet and spilt a bit of juice in a glass he was offering me. The smart-[nocando] bad mannered person murmured “idiot”, but I and the HC brother heard him. The HCB quietly went inside and came back with a chess board laid it in front of the smart guy and told him “would you care to find out who of us is the idiot, your turn.”
Guess what, my friend’s brother won and the smart guy fainted. It was hilarious and we urged the smart guy to apologise and he did. The interesting thing is that the handicapped genius accepted the apology so kindly.

How can the society refuse a child born blind if he could grow into Steve Wonder or Andréa Bocelli?
I worked as a consultant for a company in which the research engineer who relentlessly logged the data of motor performance against six parameters was a handicapped. The president of the company told me that he was slower than average but his results were dead on target and trustworthy. No one else would have his stamina at repeating the same experiment tens of thousands of times. It is my personal experience in life that taught me to respect them as equals.

Kindest regards.

I agree that imperfect people can have amazing abilities. I imagine everyone here has problems of different varieties and degrees, but there are things they can do that others couldn't hope to.

I can be humourous about death. It's pain I have a problem with. If he made some quip about both kids being dead, I may have found it a bit funnier (only in a joke context, of course).

Most probably my translation is bad because I heard it very long time ago, but I think the driver did not want the kid with the broken leg to yell so loudly and alarm pedestrians charging them against the driver. So he said to him that his injury was not so severe as the other kid so he needed to be more silent than the other respectively. Of course dead people do not cry out while being dead and there was the joke. But the whole situation in reality would be completely different.
Anyhow, I understood Faile’s joke and I do know it was in a spirit of fun, but I also considered that on this forum, there might be many people who have many different disabilities with different degrees of severity.
Maybe they do not talk in a strange way, maybe they are not mentally retarded but still have a trait or two that others may make fun of, and they may recall being laughed at, which is really a very bad feeling.

Like not being able to see the difference between a white and a yellow bulb?

faile was only reacting on the genes thing you ppl ware discussing. (A topic I gladly avoided) There never was the intention to laugh about handicapped ppl.
They prefer the term disabled btw. (in western countries anyway)

I agree with HEF on the joke you told. Nothing funny about it. In Belgium it's been a major issue for some time.
Children in traffic and accidents with trucks/lorries.
Trucks in Belgium all have extra mirrors now, to avoid the "death curve". The spots directly beside and/or behind a truck that a truckdriver can't always see, specially while making a turn.
Ppl who lost a familymember in traffic won't think it's funny. And I'm sure a lot of truckdrivers won't think it's funny.

Italian drivers are officially the worst drivers in Europe. Not long ago the EC released results about a test they had done (German drivers turned out to be the best drivers).
- Don't ask me how they tested it, all the EC seems to do is having these useless tests and then do nothing with the results they publish anyway. Where do ppl drive best, where do ppl drink most wine, where do they eat most carrots,...
They should have one like where are they most bored of our useless testing. I even doubt if those tests really exist. All they do is confirm things everybody knew already. -
But I'm sure a lot of Italian ppl don't feel good about that title.
I too spend a lot of time in Italy. Taking the hectic traffic and the fact that they don't seem to care about traffic rules in mind, they don't seem to have so much (major) accidents as one could expect. It's often tourists who get involved in accidents. For the obvious reason that they're not used to the crazy driving and hectic traffic.
If you look at it in another way, you could even say that they're good drivers. Being able to survive that traffic daily does imply they have skill. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
In a lot of Asian cities the traffic is a lot more crazy and hectic.
