Collection of Lame Jokes

[pinball1970]

This reminded of a very funny page I found when I was searching the net for "most hated fonts". There are some hilarious quotes on that page:

https://www.prepressure.com/fonts/interesting/most-hated

e.g.

Comic Sans: “It’s not that it’s a terrible font – it’s rather that it suits non-designers far better than those with a sense of the aesthetic would like.”

Arial: "If you’re working in a medium where you’re not restricted to certain fonts, and you’re considering using Arial – don’t.”

Times New Roman: "I cannot look at Times New Roman without automatically assuming that it is a placeholder font, waiting to be replaced by something appropriate for the text.“

Brush Script: "Brush Script is a useful tool for identifying morons. It is the typeface equivalent of the backward-worn baseball cap.”

It's so weird the things that get under one's skin.

Comic sans. Anyone over the age of 12 who uses it is either childish, stupid or thinks they are funny when everyone just thinks they are annoying.

I DO use Arial though, 11. It's innocuous enough. What am I missing?

I won't argue with you. I still like Arial myself.

How rude.

How rude.

Do you have different experience? If you have a positive experience then please share.
EDIT. This is a font we are discussing, kind of tongue in cheek. I probably have friends who use Comic sans. Fine people, educated, professional. Just at weekends though possibly. Not a regular thing. Can stop any time.

Well, there's this one person I know who uses it sometimes, and by my humble judgement he's rather mature, intelligent, and generally funny. Also rather quite handsome. And good with children. And humble, too. Hates explaining his jokes, though.

I just read another page about disliked fonts (linked to from the first font page I posted above), and I laughed when I read this quote about the font "Curlz MT":

"Curlz MT is not a font; it's a cry for help."

Numbers? This is what happens when you stick a pithy Latin phrase in front of a mathematician.
I was going for the, Quidquid latine dictum, altum videtur concept.

America's most fronted. Probably the best named website after? I don't know. I'm in awe.

That's why I said changing fonts is not funny on Klingon!

Oh dash it!
How many times have I been made to look like an idiot because of Klingon?
I feel like a fool. Again.

 

[DennisN]

For the record, I personally don't dislike those fonts as much as they are described on the pages I posted. I just think some quotes are funny.

Ok, I also installed Klingon fonts once.

Your English is better than my German and my Hungarian is a lot worse than I thought it was.
My Klingon? I would rather move on from that.

 

[Ibix]

The story I read about Klingon is that the language was created for Star Trek VI, consistent with bits and pieces that had been spoken before. Just for laughs, the guy who created it gave it no verb "to be", wrote a dictionary, and went to see Nick Meyer, the director. Star Trek VI, you may recall, is the one with the Klingons who love Shakespeare - so the first thing Meyer asks is "how do you say 'to be, or not to be' In Klingon?"

most people will not immediately notice if one of the words in a sentence has been replaced with a musical instrument until they've read more than three quarters of the way through it.

When I listen, I do not immediately notice the beeps that hide the emphasis, or most interesting parts of speech.
But if I said that you had violin well get that job done; would you notice.

When I was a kid, I thought a lot of adults were pretty stupid. Now I'm an adult myself and I have to say: I was right!

Reggie Jackson driving against traffic is stopped by a cop.

Cop:" Don't you know this is a one-way street?"
Reggie: " I'm only going one way!".

Yeah but Fresh come on man.
How many people have that thing? Or have studied? To that level?
It is your job to drag us kicking and screaming through this.

I will have some sort of a grip before I die. Otherwise, what's the point?

Lost in translation. The German word was "doof" which is not really "stupid" and describes it in a more childish way. It is also self-criticism rather than pointing at others.

 

[gmax137]

I will have some sort of a grip before I die. Otherwise, what's the point?

I'm not sure what this means.

a firm hold; a tight grasp or clasp
an effective form of control over something
a part or attachment by which something is held in the hand

I think "grip" also means influenza in German

either way, I'm lost in translation!

 

[jbriggs444]

I'm not sure what this means.

a firm hold; a tight grasp or clasp
an effective form of control over something
a part or attachment by which something is held in the hand

In the vernacular in the U.S. and, apparently, in the U.K., "get a grip" means to gain control of one's mind -- not taking wildly irrational actions and not having wildly irrational thoughts.

Kind of a "snap out of it and start dealing with the situation at hand".
