Public Apology"

I thought it was funny, but guess I am outta step with the kids today, you can't believe how much negative input I got from posting the "Beatnik" joke---I kinda got beat up prettygood from the "Green" crowd bashing me about speaking negatively about alligators", and I also got nailed about Stereotyping those laid back individuals that history identifies as "beatniks", I also got a good input about those in defense of Florida, saying they didn't like the negative reflection on their great State----my apologies to one at all, didn't mean to put down the "gators", didn't mean to demean the state of Florida, ---and as for the laid back "Beatniks"---snap----snap, snap---I don't give a S***!

  1. Oh for pete's sake..it was a joke people! I've seen MUCH worse jokes on here, cut the guy some slack here. I mean..no body takes it seriously. How can anyone worry about a negative towards aligators? They make their own bad PR. It is a known fact that they are dangerous and will snap your limbs off if given a chance...that's just the way they are!

    OK..let me change a few things on this joke for ya..
    -----Its late afternoon, on a secluded Lake, Two dopers are sitting at the end of the dock, both a bit spaced out from smoking a couple joints, both snapping their fingers to some languid beat they got going in their heads----neither saying much, but then one beatnik comments, "Oh---like WOW Man--(snap------snap-----snap), like an Alligator just bit my foot off!"-------(snap-----snap-----snap), the other Beatnic replies, "Which one man?"---(snap---snap----snap) The first beatnic replies, "I don't know man----all them gators look alike to me!!"

    Does that make it all better? Geeeesshhhhhh...
    Sorry for the rant Gary..just think you got a bum rap and it pissed me off..

  3. Ah hell...do what you like Gary. Political correctness has gone too far, let it loose!

    I'm going to finish up my conservative, politically correct post now.

  4. What negative comments? I did not read any.

    The beatniks moniker certainly dated you though. I would have injected "Hippies" instead.

    And having lived in Forida in the 1960s, I can only say Forida deserves all the ribbing it gets. Alligators included.

    And let me cahnge it for you also using Sue's version as my template -

    -----Its late afternoon, on a secluded Lake, Two good ole boys in Dickie Overalls and bare feet are sitting at the end of the dock. Both a bit juiced up from that 3rd case of Papst Blue Ribbon. Both snapping their fingers to some Tobey Keith tune they got going in their heads----neither saying much, but then one good ole boy comments, "Oh--- say Bobby Ray--(snap------snap-----snap), like an Alligator just bit my foot off!"-------(snap-----snap-----snap), the other Good ole Boy replies, "Which one Bobby Ray?"---(snap---snap----snap) Bobby Ray slurs, "I don't know Billy Bob----all them gators look alike to me!!"

    Joke seems to work no matter what substance gets abused.

  5. I have to agree with MRMacrum, unless you deleted them I didn't see one negative comment on there.
