Riddle No. 9 - NPD Criteria Applied
From: Fritz Wuehler Organization: Newsgroups: rec.audio.tubes,aus.hi-fi Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2003 10:25:42 +0100 Subject: Riddle No. 9 I didnt originate or write any of these joke-riddles, Murray. Im merely on the same mailing list as you. Ditto for the other (Billboard) list of jokes about Turner currently being circulated, which are ingeniously extrapolated from a joke about him I told publicly, but without my permission or assistance. If you dont mind me saying so, Murray, you shouldnt publish someone elses letters. 5. has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of . . . . automatic compliance with his or her expectations If the originator of these serial amusements wanted to send his jokes about the excressent Turner to newsgroups, he would have done so. Turner has recently issued threats of physical violence and legal persecution against anyone who dare criticize him, so you are exposing the humorist unnecessarily to Turners vicious attacks on free speech. At Kimberley there is the biggest open-cast diamond mine in the world. It is indisputably the largest man-made hole in the world. Turner is also manmade, by his mommy and daddy, and a major arsehole. 7. lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others Kimberley makes the lateral, analogous connection. I think it rather amusing, but dont imagine that everyone else will. One needs to have been a Rhodes Scholar, or to have gone to Woolf Barnatos old school, or to know the Beits, fully to appreciate this kind of insider joke. As such it is better kept sub rosa. (1) 1. has a grandiose sense of self-importance. . . . 2. is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited . . . . brilliance . . . . 3. believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions) 9. shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes Andre Jute (1) No humour is safe on newsgroups, which are in general inhabited by humourless monomaniacs. The only humour which stands a chance of succeeding on most newsgroups is lumpenproletariat lowest common denominator generic crudities of the bananaskin type. Any kind of humour which depends for its appreciation on the recipient being well-read and well-traveled and capable of making more than the most obvious connection is likely to be seen as offensive by many on the net, who have chips on their shoulders quite as large as the entire MDF factory Patrick Turner carries on his left shoulder. They will jerk themselves up violently at any joke they dont understand, because they see humour as an attack on their dignity and importance. Why waste a subtle joke on them? 8. is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her Murray wrote: Riddle No. 9 Hi Andre, Can you explain this joke to me? Thanks.
