An Irishman's Confession...
A married Irishman went into the confessional and said to his priest, "I almost had an affair with another woman."
The priest said, "What do you mean, almost?"
The Irishman said, "Well, we got undressed and rubbed together, but then I stopped."
The priest said, "Rubbing together is the same as putting it in. You're not to see that woman again. For your penance, say five Hail Marys and put £50 in the poor box."
The Irishman left the confessional, said his prayers and then walked over to the poor box. He paused for a moment and then started to leave. The priest, who was watching, quickly ran over to him saying,
"I saw that you didn't put any money in the poor box!"
The Irishman replied, "Yeah, but I rubbed the £50 on the box and, according to you, that's the same as putting it in!"
We've had an experiment running for a few months. We now have a new rule on the basis of that experiment. All posts must make some attempt at humor.
5 months ago, we made this post. Since then, we've been removing posts that make no attempt at humor. These are largely things that are
- Interesting
- Submitted by people who can't be arsed to find the correct subreddit
We've also had a fair number of users report such submissions so thanks for that. We've been keeping detailed records of your IP addresses and will be dispatching factory farm produced cookies to your home and/or work addresses.
We've also had some arguments with users about the implementation of this rule, but I think the majority of those have been amicably resolved.
So, going forward, all posts must make some attempt at humor. It doesn't matter if the joke falls flat or is crappy. There must be something in the post that at the very least tries to be funny.
This rule will be added to the sidebar as rule 0, since the mod team doesn't want to mess with the order but we still want this rule at the top.
For those who want examples, here are a few that I've removed in the past month. I'm posting the title and image only.
TL;DR: New Rule - All posts must make an attempt at humor. Success or failure of said attempt is immaterial.
My favorite joke when I was a kid..
There are four men on a small boat: an Italian, Chinese, American and Mexican.
The boat is too heavy, and begins to sink. The American yells "quick, throw out whatever you have most of in your country!"
The Italian throws out pasta.
The Chinese throws out rice.
The Mexican throws out oranges.
The American throws out the mexican.
