Comedy is a mystery, one that has been pondered since Aristotle. Nobody can explain why some people are funny and others aren't, we just kind of know this to be the case. So when Chris Rock makes such a joke it's funny, but when you do it's creepy and weird. When Jim Carrey farts in dumb and dumber its hilarious, but when my dad does it its gross.

While no one can explain why this is the case, the lesson to be gleaned is that you - Trample - should stop making jokes.

How about....Chris Rock doesn't make a joke about the incident the day after it took place? Chris Rock's joke doesn't allude to Social Darwinism? Chris Rock is funny?

Perhaps, I asked some some people tonight what they thought about it. They know me better and thought the point I was making has funny. Maybe the internet takes the humor out of it. Maybe I was just being crass. It just made perfect sense to me so I wrote it.
Turns out this lady is sleeping with the chimp, gave it wine, and zanax. If that's not stupid I don't know what is?
Oh, when I was thinking of my tag I was thinking of our offensive line. I don't really advocate trampling the elderly. That wasn't just for you. Some others had something or other about it.
Do they still have Habu Sake over there or is it illegal?

Fair enough. I think if the chimp had eaten its owner your remarks might have come off as less crass. The fact that it ate an innocent visiter is decidedly less funny.

Habu sake is from Okinawa and I assume sold pretty freely down there (someone was just telling me those snake hunters make bank) although I haven't run into it up here in the Kansai region. Have you had it? Is it worth tracking down?

I had it in Iwakuni. I don't remember much after I did. Stick to the major brands. You never know what you're going to get.
