Took me 3 times to "get it'.... I must be almost as old

X2, watched twice, and don't get it .

Thanks. I feel much better, now. 7 (Still clueless, but confessing that much of what passes for "humor" these days leaves me flat)

I am so glad you said that!

The days of Abbot and Costello, the 3 stooges, Jerry Lewis and our gang are gone....

The first I realized I was out of touch was a few years ago when my kids wanted us to watch "Nepoliion Dynamite" I was never so bored and so far out of touch with the kids laughing and my wife and I trying to figure out what was so funny....I never did get that..

Hi all! I am new to this thread and would love to share some stories with a group of people that would "get it!"

1. I once sold hatching eggs to a nice middle aged man and he asked for 2 dozen eggs so I told him it would be a few days to collect that many, but I would have fresh eggs ready within the week. He said "OH nevermind, I thought you could get that many all in one day" which I explained my flock wasn't large, but not to worry his eggs would be more than fresh enough to hatch. To which his reply was, "I really need them all to hatch on the same day- I only have one incubator." Well this statement was a bit perplexing to me so I asked what he meant- he said, "Well if they aren't all laid on the same day they won't hatch together, will they?" After explaining that was not how that worked he felt pretty silly.

2. A coworker was shocked that I charged $2.50 for a dozen eggs saying that was WAY overpriced, because they came off a local farm. She explained Wal-Mart eggs are cheaper than mine so I was ripping her off... I didn't even try to explain to her the difference in my eggs and Wal-Mart eggs after that comment.

3. I read this several times in this thread and have personally experienced it as well: "Ew those eggs came from YOUR farm? They aren't sanitized or pasteurized (Yes, they said pasteurized). Those eggs will make you sick!"

OH one more: My dear cousin who is pushing 30 years old thought ALL the chickens ever eaten were hens. When I asked what do you think happens to the roosters since they do not lay eggs, he was dumbfounded and said... I never really thought about that.

So, I guess this means that a sense of humor is learned. My kids' humor is much like mine; dry and sarcastic much of the time, but we also loved The Pink Panther movies, Weekend at Bernies', and the old cartoons (Yosemite Sam, B. Bunny, Foghorn Leghorn, etc.) I've never watched Saturday Night Live because I thought the skits were like those we did in high school; silly. A friend of mine was up here a couple of summers ago and she wanted to go to see that "comedy", TED, that turned out to be disgusting. I was embarrassed to be seen coming out of the theater, but she thought it was hilarious. And, she goes ballistic if you say "shut-up" or "stupid" in her presence.

Well, back to my property where I can hide behind my locked gate.

And, there you have it. The cause of most stupidity; not stopping to think. Maybe people are afraid it will hurt, or something.

ROFLMBO!!!

I never got the pink panther, it seemed too "English humor: for me. I also never watched SNL for the same reasons. I have not seen the movie TED but I have it on my fake TIVO, I scroll by it and never start it. Maybe some day.

I do not get the reference to "shut-up or "stupid" Did I miss something?

I wish I had a locked gate!

Welcome.

#1 Might have replied…come back in a week and I will have a talk with my hens to lay enough for your order IN ONE DAY!

#2 Should have said, but Walmart eggs are made in China!

#3 Could have said - they have to sanitize theirs because their chickens have Cooties!
