The dreaded A Maths... It has taken its toll on everyone today. Some people went mad, no kidding. My Paper 1 was quite well, and my Paper 2 was *putt*. four hours of nothing but A Maths. I can't say it wasn't tiring.
After school I came back, and used the com for a while. Jiawen came later, and then I gave my dog a shower. No bath, I don't have a tub. It's really strange to say you're going to bathe when all you have is a showerhead.
Anyway, we didn't to do much stuff. Joseph had said he'd come, but didn't. So Jiawen left early. I spent the rest of the afternoon taking a nap.
So when I woke up I watched some TV, and then dinner. Then I started on my Geography, my only paper tomorrow. *Yay* It's like only one and a half hours, so we're gonna be free...
Apparently I have this whole philosophy thing about jokes and humour. I've telling everyone this whole ideology thing with joking, like when to and not to joke, who to and not to joke with, etc. Maybe I can study humour. If it's even possible, that is. That's just a remark, by the way. But I'm serious about the who and when to joke part. You know joking with an angry person is like gambling. It's really tough to know when to do it, but when you buy it right... You know you are gifted. I still haven't figured that out. So I figured to not joke and shut up when an angry person is around. And don't joke when I'm angry. I hate it. Like what's so funny about me being mad? So if that person has the same mentality, my advice is: shut up.
They say puns are the lowest form of jokes. But I don't get it. Why are there high class jokes and low class jokes? Aren't jokes one and all the same? They are made for the same desired result: a laugh. A chuckle or a knowingly smile will do. So what's the difference? Even if you want to classify jokes, do it by genre. Like blond, sex, religion, lawyer, doctor, one-liners, etc. Then we classify not by quality, but the danger of which it would be offensive to people.
Take religious jokes for example. Conservative people might be offended if, let's say, I make up this joke about a certain divine being that they believe in, which might put him/her/it/them in bad light. Then there's sex jokes. The elderly, for example, might be very offended. So be careful about your choice of jokes. Another bad case scenario? Joking about dead people at a funeral. I've never actually heard of a worst case scenario, unless you're talking about making fun of PMS in front of an entire feminist audience. That might raise eyebrows.
So have fun. Ciao!
