The Insult Thread

I support this idea in principle. If we’re going to throw tomatoes, lets make them foam ones.

The rules should be simple:

1. Be funnier than you are mean.
2. If the person you’re insulting laughs, you win.
3. If you have to explain why it was funny, you lose.

As for your opening salvo… I’ll politely decline to comment on anyone’s alleged donkey-related extracurricular activities. That’s between them, the donkey, and whatever therapist drew the short straw.

If this thread survives longer than a day, it’ll be a minor miracle. If it survives a week, someone should bronze it.

I was in the tavern business for thirty-five years. The last thirteen as the owner of a landmark tavern in New York’s Hudson Valley. The place had its usual assortment of denizens. There were a few of them that were particularly adept at holding forth. Their forte was barbed repartee, or ball busting in the colloquial. There were many a fun filled afternoon as the banter was volleyed back and forth for hours. I do believe they followed your suggested rules to the letter.
Would love to chat if you’d care to do so.
