- Jesus

i wanna know what joke it was
- Anything suicide related.
  
  you know, i haven't heard a good suicide joke in a long, long time. what's a good suicide joke that the kids are telling each other these days?
  what's a freudian slip? it's when you mean you say "the other" but end up hanging yourself instead.
- Me: “ugh. Here comes Tom. He’s always talking about scarecrows.”
  Tom: “Hey man.”

How TF old are you people anyway?
Are you all literally as old as the kid in the pic? Who can relate to this??
- I'm 31 but I can relate to it by remembering some times I asked a question I thought was benign that turned into a two hour long lecture.

This happened more at school.

As a dad I can say you better think twice kids!

Lecture them back. Teach them about irony and satire. If that doesn't work, just start screaming and shitting. I have to do this twice a month at least. The laundry bill is killer.

I get to enjoy that the reverse happened, when he made mocking jokes about Islamic jihad and the promise of 72 virgins, and I got to school him about the Houri and the more general (and often pacifistic) notions of jihad as a personal quest.
(I'm not Muslim, but researched them during the war on terror in order to separate functional culture from violent movements. It's complex and valid criticisms intermingle with harmful stereotypes, like Christianity and vampirism)
