First off, WELCOME if you`re a newcomer, or anoldcomer, recently
returned; I appreciate everyone in this echo -- you`re why I bother for as
little as they pay me! YOU are worth it! (sure, that counts as my objoke
inclusion for this post, if I want it to be it ;) )
Say hi, share your favourite joke, rated PG-14, where you`re from,.
& why that place is funny; maybe a funny childhood story from your
own childhood or someone you were close to,growing up? Jump in, have
fun; reply to any post you read in here, should you feel the urge --
nothing you see is private. Do include funny content n every post, though,
please (we call that an Obligatory Joke(ObJoke for short), when you add in
an extra bit of funny to make up for off-topic chat content)
Okay, enough intro, on to the main point(s) of this posting. . .
Rules, Regulations, & Guidelines for Fidonet`s FUNNY Jokes and Stories echo
This file and the rules as per the Fido official echo description
constitute our rules & regulations, binding on every user in this echo, by
their participation (whether passive(reading) or active(posting); if this
displeases you, you know the way you came in -- you may & should exit the
same way & never return.
Echo purpose: to hear something repeated you`ve just said.
Note all are labeled #1 as they`re all important --
#1: You must (re)read these every time you see them posted by myself or another
moderator, addressed to "All"
#1: even if a rule, below, seems phrased humorously (even your mods try to stay
on topic) it is a hard & fast rule, requiring your adherence
#1: Have fun or GTFO
#1: don`t be a jackass; you`re a guest in other people`s home.
#1: every post must contain funny content (text)
#1: English(UK+CAN) is the natural language of the fully evolved human being,
thus English is the echo`s official language. American English is
American & true English users may feel free to humorously(key) poke fun
at Americanisms
#1: grammar & punctuation is probably important -- mis-use opens yourself up to
funny or punny ridicule.
#1: leave the moderating to the moderator(s); you may not see it being done,
but we work behind the scenes often. If you have a complaint,
echomail or email your mods; do NOT post into the echo (unless you`re
following rule#1 of course,
& being funny)
#1: This echo is rated PG-16; i.e. content should not be overly shocking to the
average 16 year old (boy or girl); no porn -- that`s elsewhere in cyberspace
#1: NO ads for products, services, echos, pages, or ANYTHING, except as you`ve
sent to the mod, with agreed upon payment, & the mod posts it for
you, following all rules.
#1: NO auto-posting (bots); this echo is for humans; if you can fully
understand these rules, you are likely human.
#1: the mods are not responsible for any damage to your connection devices
(including modems & computer & monitor) perpetrated by a moderator`s
use of the Freister Device (detects your personal(not BBS, not your fido
upline) source system & sends proprietary signals to cause your disks, CPU,
mainboard, & modem to die ("fry" from Freister, the inventor, & my friend)
#1: You have been warned
#1 Swearing should be kept to a minimum -- & only as befits the joke/thread --
we`re adults here & should act & talk like it. If you`re mixing
them in randomly like salt & pepper, you`re too young to be in here.
#1: These rules should appear once a month, but regardless if you`ve seen or
read them, you MUST follow all, or delist the echo &/or visit
others (&/or make your own, even!)
#1: We only roast the ones we love
#1: The End (or is it?)
APPENDIX i:
Remember: Even if some jokes in here seem a bit "difficult" for
you to enjoy, that humour is not universal; this echo is for everyone.
The most important thing is:
#1 Have fun
#1 Include a joke in every post/reply
#1 Keep it all PG-16
Even your mod isn`t exempt from RULE NUMBER ONE: Every post MUST
have funny content included; this is often accomplished by the addition
of an ObJok (Obligatory Joke) or ObPun (Obligatory Pun. . .you get it
now) or even if you`ve had a funny occurrence on the way to the bank,
it might be an ObAnecdote. .
We`re here to entertain ourselves & each other with FUNNY!!!
Here`s my October-November contribution:
Possibly a tad North-centric, but that`s where your mod was stuck
being born & raised, & now his two kids(hometown people who knew me
"when" are saying, "Okay, that`s funny.") can say the same. . .
A little Fall humour for yas. If you`re south of the equator, save
these to read in six months, they`ll get funnier.
Actually F` that, these are funny punnies NOW!
Q: What did the angry pie say to the plate? A: You want a piece of me?
q: Why was the pumpkin surprised?
A: It was caught off-gourd.
Q: What did the acorn say to the squirrel? A: There`s nuttin` to see here.
Q: How do you fix a broken gourd?
A: With a pumpkin patch
Cheers! ("Night Court!"--I still watch both)
