Like I said above: You forgot the joke icon.

If I have to tell you a joke is funny by putting an icon there, then it can't be funny. Therefore the joke icon is redundant.

When a joke is told in written form, you have to keep in mind that the audience is deprived of you facial expression, and so the probability of misinterpretation is high. That is why proper use of emoticons is important!

Nah. If you get it you get it, if you don't you don't.

Then you're doomed forever to be misunderstood!

Have you never heard the expression 'deadpan' in relation to joke tellers? If you're looking to my face to tell you whether I'm telling a joke or not then you'll die not knowing! It's the English way to leave 'em guessing!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Oh c'mon, Corny! When have I ever used a joke icon?
Granted, lots of yanks don't get it, when I take the piss or get surreal, but they're yanks! I expect less from them!

Bear in mind that P3 is not only English, like me, but he's even from the same town as me!
As Benny Hill would have said, he's as "sirryass" as I am.

What's really death-defyingly flabbergasting is that when I lived in Italy, I don't remember a single person who wasn't surprised that I didn't know Benny Hill personally*.
Yeah, and I have fish & chips with the Queen, every second Friday.

I read that post, as well as the kinda rude post preceeding it.
Whilst I doubt he would reflect on what happened and why, I can still hope.

Wrong department; it's the Fecund Erectile Disfunction and No Shagging Ability organisations that GPO was referring to.

After working for decades on Windows, I took the plunge into Linux for my current job. What baffles me the most is how accepting Linux developers in general are of all the crap applications. No, it's worse than that; they praise the crap applications. Endlessly. And if you criticize the apps, you get heaps of denial.
Then there are the UIs written by the clueless. "Yeah, but what about Windows 8," is a typical comeback. There are some superficial design choices not everyone likes in Windows 8 (mostly the start menu and lack of Aero--I don't mind either and now turn off Aero when I have to use Windows 7.) Beyond that, the UI is very consistent, renders extremely well and is magnitudes more stable than any GUI on Linux.
Then there's git, which is the worse version control system I've used since Visual Source Safe. The proponents tout the rich feature set of git, ignoring the fact that the rich feature set is there to get around all the problems of a fundamentally flawed design. I work with three, honest-to-God, git experts, but a day doesn't go by when one of them says, while using it or helping someone, "Oops, I don't know what happened there." Often followed by, "this makes no sense, but you have to create a branch...."
Then there's moving files via "git mv" which git later "decides" were deleted and recreated. And don't get me started on all its errors with rebases and merges (due largely to bad design.)
Naturally, some Linux fan-boys are going to lose their heads over this, but I go back to the question; do Linux developers have no taste? Seriously. Are you unable to see badly rendered fonts? When you want to do something relatively common, which on Windows or Mac takes a click or two, but on Linux takes a list of dozens of detailed instructions, don't you ask why? Don't you use GDB and wonder why it sucks so bad?

You're not wrong. Even if you demonstrate how easy it is to make things better, they don't want to know.
I know it's a Hell of a generalisation, but I really haven't seen any evidence to contradict it.
