How has the coronavirus affected your personal life?

That is, of course, the point of all comedy. We either make fun of someone else, or make fun of ourselves, or we make fun of the situation.

The situation here is so overblown that to me this person represents the situation itself.

This was pointed out particularly well by the Hindu fellow who said, “I want to live in a country where the poor people are fat!” That country could very well be where I live in California.

I used to weigh 240 pounds and now I only weigh 172. Anybody can lose weight because it’s all in the brain. Either you control your brain or your brain controls you.

The woman in the picture above clearly has the brain of the Dalmatian Molly Fish. They will eat until there’s nothing left.

I was really harsh in my earlier post regarding the picture, or was I? You could argue that the woman in the picture, for all we know, has a medical condition, which is why she's the size she is. That would make our attempt at humour bad taste.

You could also argue that she's like that because, like you said, she has the brain of a "dalmatian molly fish" and her size and miserableness, is that even a word, are completely down to her own very bad choices in life.

I'm going with the latter.

Of course you were harsh, and I was harsh, because comedy is a harsh business. If you don’t believe me go watch Jimmy Kimmel.

And he’s one of the calm people. I was brought up in the comedy school of Don Rickles and George Carlin.

My biggest reservation here is the fact that I may very well be insulting a woman who is already dead by her own hand.** Who knows if she survived the protest march? After all it’s very unbecoming to insult dead people.

But as far as having a medical condition, nobody could get that fat without eating around the clock for many years. People that fat have a mental condition, and I know what it is to overcome that. Do you want to see my fat pictures?

Now perhaps it’s not a mental condition that every person can overcome without professional help. Then again some people cannot dress themselves.

**Or mouth as the case may be.

This isn't comedy, it has no class. I'm surprised you even posted a photo with a blatantly political message in it. Locking the thread till I can review it.

Thread is open for business. A quick reminder of the TOS: (b) is knowingly false, and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violation of any law or regulation,

Comedy does exist and they are free to make fun of what they wish. However, on MFK we do not partake in this baseless nonsense of jeering at random people, especially when we know nothing of their circumstances, health conditions and so on.
Keep the thread on topic to Covid and your personal life. Thank you.

Hello; Ok here is a strange observation. I developed an odd habit the last few years. Do not know why. I do not spit much at all and never have. ( I do not count spitting out mouthwash for what that is worth.) For some reason I do now spit when I urinate. Not a big deal since spitting into a urinal does not hurt anything and there is no one around to see. But in a public toilet with a mask on I did notice the urge. I can control myself but have wondered where this came from. I have been one who thinks spitting in public is bad form and do not understand this somewhat new habit. Having to wear a mask has unmasked and brought my attention to this.

On social media, the silence of the anti-mask COVID-19 is a hoax crowd is DEAFENING today.

Let's not dive into that, incredibly sensitive topic.

Hello; OK I will not mention spitting while urinating any more.

Lol, i don't think he was referring to your spitting whilst urinating comment.

By the way Hendre , I think you'd have been in your element back in prehistoric times, that Bawitius is quite a bichir!

Yep, was not referring to this. We all know what major developments are happening so best keep that off site.

I figured it fit in the name scheme! It was monstrous indeed!
