I got this from PAC
 

this is wickedly funny.

Classic. I too reposted that link elsewhere.

"Blocked by Websense".....must have been a good one.

I saw a little bit of my life in each picture. It was a cathardic experience. The leisure suit image and narrative spoke to my heart.

Very funny stuff.

I saw the subject line of this thread and, for a moment, feared that the "this" that you got from me might refer to a rash or other loathsome disease. I was relieved you apparently tested negative.

Is it wrong for us to laugh at pictures of others (or the hilarious rips that appear under the photos)? During the occasional family cruise, we take perverse pleasure in looking at the photos that the ship's photographer puts up in the Photo Gallery, showing hundreds of obese, strangely posed, or simply unattractive vacationers on board the ship. It may be cruel, but I have no problem if others want to laugh at pictures of me, and I'm sure I provide ample fodder for unintended laughs.

While chuckling with my sister at one particularly homely couple's photo, I expressed feelings of guilt at my unkindness. My sister quoted Mr. Bennett in Pride and Prejudice: "For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbours, and laugh at them in our turn?" Isn't this a principal reason for our visits to these boards?

Are you being truthful in sayoing that in the middle of a cruise while ridiculing the photo of some knucklehead's ugly mug your sister was able to pull out a quotation from Jane AUsten to justify it? Impressive. If this were my family the knucklehead would be one of us and we would be most likely to quote Dino from the Flinstones. Of course, I don't have a sister.

Yes. As Parrothead can testify, my family has a weird ability to combine a smattering of mile-wide and inch-deep erudition (putting those University Studies majors to work) with an abundance of coarseness. Should you elect to join us, be sure to stay upwind.

Who the hell goes on a cruise with their 60 year old sister?

I was tempted to go with a "my sister is totally hot," but I'm incapable of the curious CB tendency to speak of hotness in one's relations. In any case, my sis will thank you to note she's a youthful 54. And if it had only been she and I on the cruise, I would submit to your justifiable ridicule. But the cruise in question was, in effect, sponsored by my then recently deceased dad whose modest legacy paid for an entourage consisting of 64 kids, grandkids and great grandkids, along with the in-laws. I admit that our group's photos would have rivaled those of a Utefans tailgate party for unintended hilarity.
