Fittingly, it was the annual Red Nose benefit sale at Walgreen's yesterday, so I am now in possession of a red nose.

Is it any wonder Millenials tend to stay away from Disorder?

A less subtle but parallel tack - Borscht-belt jokes:

A drunk was in front of a judge. The judge says, "You've been brought here for drinking." The drunk says, "Okay, let's get started."
 
a man walks into a bar with a frog on his head. the bartender says, "hey, where'd you get that? the frog says, "i don't know, it started out as just a bump on my butt."
 
Thanks to the human heart by which we live, 205
Thanks to its tenderness, its joys, and fears,
To me the meanest flower that blows can give
Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.

I feel much better now. And so I won't tell the joke about the guy who brings a miniature pianist into the bar and when someone asks him where he got it says he made a wish to a genie who was hard of hearing: "do you really think I asked for a ten inch pianist?" he said.

It's true: jokes are better when you explain them!

It's a relief you didn't tell that one, Jonathan.

I love the one in which a horse walks into a bar and the bartender asks "why the long face?"

I assume you know that when "A Horse Walks Into a Bar" by David Grossman won the Booker International prize in 2017, Jessica Cohen, the translator who shared the prize with Grossman, talked about this joke as it was a replacement for the one in the original Hebrew, which was untranslatable.

Had no idea, now I must read A Horse Walks Into a Bar.

The replacement aspect invites the question: what are the odds of a replacement becoming immortal?

...coconut wasn't predominant (despite me listing it first), it was more a lovely lilt above the body of the bouquet ... like a warm breeze within the whole wine rather than heaviness or interference.

Ah, like the coconut rum you drank in the Virgin Islands!

Why wouldn't you love those who you love?

You don't. And normal people don't worry about it. But there are people with heads full of proscriptive and prescriptive ideas about who other people should and shouldn't love.

Or are you being purposely dense?
 
I'm actually sort of dense about this. My position on gay marriage (other than teasing my gay friends that I don't see why they want to join the army and get married; it hasn't worked for straight people) is that whenever I see a photo of a gay marriage or any marriage, it shows people smiling, laughing, drinking and kissing each other, and I wonder what part of this I'm supposed to be opposed to.

I got Karen's point right away; I just didn't realize the word 'pansy' had taken me into this realm. Live and learn.

Hugs right back, Karen.
