piisfish 135 #4 May 23, 2012 QuoteThe incident in Mazar-i-Sharif is unfortunately not the first setback for “Reese’s for Peaces”. Other blunders included a crate-load of Baby Ruth bars being dropped short of its target on March 19 and plowing into a bus full of madrassa students, killing 22. On April 27, several Snickers bars hit a wedding party near Kunduz, killing 35. And on May 8, several packs of Starbursts inadvertently hit an orphanage and killed 8 children and an adorable kitten named Mittens. Following the press conference, Colonel Marshall tried to exit the podium, but tripped and crashed into a group of civilians, killing 9. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shadenfreud might be considered an element of humor, possibly even a large one in modern times, but is by no means the definitive element of humor. You must mean Schadenfreude. I tend to believe of the three classical theories of humor superiority, relief and incongruity have at their basis one thing in common. Namely, somebody stepped on their dick or shit in their mess kit. I guess the new movie, The Three Stooges wasn't very funny for you.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.
