I have a very short attention span when it comes to humour. <br /><br />I definitely agree the daughters/war vid is not LOL funny. Just excellent and necessary.laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-35051726684418629262011-04-28T14:10:55.896-07:002011-04-28T14:10:55.896-07:00Based on past articles mentioning the Red Sox* and...Based on past articles mentioning the Red Sox* and <a href="http://www.onionsportsnetwork.com/articles/derek-jeter-honored-for-having-fewer-hits-than-har,2810/" rel="nofollow">making</a> <a href="http://www.onionsportsnetwork.com/articles/yankees-resign-popular-mascot-derek-jeter,18639/" rel="nofollow">fun</a> of Jeter (and <a href="http://www.onionsportsnetwork.com/articles/true-yankees-regular-yankees-to-now-wear-different,17314/" rel="nofollow">other</a> <a href="http://www.onionsportsnetwork.com/articles/andy-pettitte-retires-to-inject-hgh-without-being,19157/" rel="nofollow">Yankees</a>), there are at least a couple of serious Boston fans at the Onion.<br /><br />* - Who else but a Sox fan would write <a href="http://www.onionsportsnetwork.com/articles/everyone-in-red-sox-locker-room-just-assumed-jason,17195/" rel="nofollow">this</a>?allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-16105208381873584802011-04-28T13:06:02.002-07:002011-04-28T13:06:02.002-07:00Laura--

It did seem to go on and on, and the permutations, funny in themselves, kept making me think, 'Are they making fun of Papi--but what does this have to do with him, his foibles and quirks?'<br /><br />'Take your daughter to war' headline was very funny, but, god knows, not in a LOL way. Is there some kind of funny you recognize with a sinking heart, a flush of anger, and a prickle of hair rising on your neck? That kind of funny.johngoldfinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09322562737172405323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-9080307192918128502011-04-28T11:45:40.411-07:002011-04-28T11:45:40.411-07:00Ah, the Onion!

Or does it--am I missing something? Is Papi known for taking everything literally?<br /><br />Would the piece be as funny, if the same mistake was assigned to Drew or Tek or Lackey? Maybe humor-impaired today....johngoldfinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09322562737172405323noreply@blogger.com
