   Hey, Aussies, come back to loc.au where you are appreciated for your deadpan humour and laidback attitude to family-friendliness. It’s a sad sad world that can’t appreciate our sense of humour and it appears that’s most of Lugnet these days. Sigh!

Humour is a very serious business, CL Kerry. I have learned that some things are far too serious to joke about.

Are you keeping a mental list of them? I would suggest you take that Thought Leadership, and turn it into actual leadership with a page detailing the Things That Are Too Serious To Joke About, so that newcomers don’t make the same mistakes we have.

I too have learned this recently and would like to contribute to the list.

Things that are too serious to joke about:
  • Nazis and/or nazism
  • anything else that might upset Germans
  • sorting mech bays
  • colour change, and failing to internalise it and move on
  • posting items for sale in the wrong group
  • tatoos/bra straps
to name a few.

HTH

Cheers, Allister
