The Joke I Refuse To Let Die

[pinback]

I posted this on Facebook and nobody got it. If it doesn't get any run here, then I gotta go to Caltrops and I hate that:

When I read about all the flaws in the Navy's new shore-based combat ship, I littorally laughed out loud.

LAUGH GOD DAMMIT

[LOL]

He who would pun would pick a pocket. . .

You spelled "literally" worng. I guess you'll be heading on down the road then, as distasteful as dealing with the unwashed masses of cretinous reprobates must be. I get it, why would you have a ship on land? But it's not really all that funny.

OK, this joke is based on the Navy having a shore-based combat ship, right?
See, I didn't know it was really a joke. They build every other damn defense combat thing-a ma-bob for the military and they always seem to find some kind of flaw after the fact.

Now that I study on it I can see the humor, but having to study on it in the first place defeats the whole exercise.

I spelled the word correctly. That was the joke. You do not get jokes, and never will.

It's actually a real story, but whether it's a real story or not does not affect the comedy level of the joke.

what kind of 850 pound fucking moron are you, I told you it was a pun.

Surely you can google the god damn word pun, you fat idiot:
Definition of pun
noun

a joke exploiting the different possible meanings of a word or the fact that there are words that sound alike but have different meanings

[pinback]

BTW, I am not "LOL" but I appreciate his/her/its support.

[Flack]

Even if he couldn't Google "pun," shorely he could Google the word "littorally".

(Shorely? See what I did there?"

It's a good joke, although I had to read it twice because I guess my brain didn't notice the play on words. It's definitely a step up from the ol' ship full of sea men one.

Navy? Exercise? I guess you had to be there.

Dismissed.

As soon as you insult me, all further words in your message are ignored. The above is all you said, period. It has no content and thus has no meaning. You want to say something, learn not to be an asshole and learn to speak like a human being. Until then, fuck off.

[CO]

Exercise? I guess you had to be there.

Dismissed.

Yeah, we understand you don't get jokes or exercise.

You gotta love this:

• º The helicopters scheduled to be aboard the ship can’t tow its mine-hunting sensors, so the Navy is going to rely on robots instead

• º But the robots won’t be ready for years

• º The faster the ship goes, the less accurate its guns become

• º Pentagon’s weapons testers gave the LCS’ mine-hunting package a failing grade last year

• º MH-60 Seahawks intended to launch from the LCS minehunters can’t “safely tow” the sonar suites that scan for underwater mines

• º "it is not expected to maintain mission capability after taking a significant hit in a hostile combat environment.”

From Apollo 13: Kranz asks about the carbon dioxide scrubbers on the Command Module, only to be told they take square cartridges and the ones on the LEM are round. "Tell me this isn't a government operation," he sighs.

Yes, but do you get the joke now? Please?

I independently made the same joke recently and thought it was quite hilarious, so you have my support.
