Don't worry... if you have to explain a joke it obviously isn't very funny.
Just my dumb attempt at humour.
Forget I said anything . Cheers...

Hell I'm a delivery driver here in Lethbridge (part time student job) and I flirt with the waitresses/female customers all the time. I've gotten a few dates out of it.

Wasn't very funny I guess.

Sorry for not seeing it was a joke. I'm with 3justin3, I'm not quite sure what the joke was. When you said "Boy this is a tough place, no room for error or puffery here" it seemed like you were being defensive, no?

No not really... this is a tough place for self pity or self engrandizement and other things. As it should be. There are a lot of very smart people on here that don't let you get away with much. If you're wrong they tell you. I've been wrong on more than one occasion and its been pointed out to me.

As for the joke... it was about the quickness on your part to pick up the small self embellishment on Jpold's part.. (well not self embellishment on his part but he obviously felt the need to let people know that he wasn't just a delivery driver) ... you know...slash with the knife of truth to point out to everyone that J Pold felt it necessary to explain his employment...


I'm not sure if I'm explaining this well...

It doesn't matter where you work, suiting up is always appropriate. Unless you're under 20, then you're just hosed till you hit the real world.

You should get one of those t-shirts that look like a tuxedo. Those are real classy and will impress the girls that are your age and younger.

No, girls my age like popped collars with 2lbs of gel in their hair.

My Slayer shirt and semi-long hair can't compete with that.


Jokes of course, but for reals, Slayer shirt > Popped collar.
