Insults & Jokes
17 December 2006
Life is strange sometimes!
What do you think or do when someone relatively close to you makes a joke about you possibly being a suspect in a serial killer case, but because you have lost a lot of weight and don’t own the same colour car as to what Police are looking for, you must not be a suspect?
I mean do you think that it is an insult because they have effectively ruled you out based on your car colour and weight only or that it is just a seriously bad taste joke?
Update: Thinking about it more, what could I or anybody do to make that thought come to mind in the first place? Is it because that person thinks you might just be capable of such an act or because they don’t think at all? Was it specifically directed towards you, or just because you might be an easy target and in reality that person would direct the joke at anybody who might fit the car colour and body weight profile.
I am sure that some would say that it is just a joke, but it is not the way I feel about it and I am not sure that I will be convinced otherwise. Some of course would probably say that it was meant to be some sort of compliment based on the amount of weight I had lost. Back-handed as it may seem.
Anyway I hope everyone else has a great Sunday, hopefully mine will get better.
