    Then there is the congressman who thinks fetuses masturbate.

    This is a subject I know something about ... Watch a sonogram of a 15-week baby, and they have movements that are purposeful. They stroke their face. If they’re a male baby, they may have their hand between their legs. If they feel pleasure, why is it so hard to believe that they could feel pain?

    As much of a supporter of abortion rights as I am, I do think there's kind of a line where yeah, you probably waited a mite too long.

    I had a triumph in the joke making department a while back. I would like to share it, because I felt that the world was my oyster, in that moment.

    We were at a cafe and people were eating ice cream, and we went from talking about jobs to being home nurses to wiping asses to cleaning toilets to emptying toilets to portapotties

    and one of the girls was relating a story about how a friend had been in one that somebody tipped over so that everything flowed everywhere

    and I got the chance to reply "oh, that's shitty"


    and I leant back, took a long drag from my cig, and thought

    these moments, man, these moments. Life is good.

    So I found out this weekend that my best friend is going to be a dad. Which is pretty wild and not expected at all but his girl took a fertility test (after being inspired by an episode of New Girl) and discovered that it was basically now or never. They decided to pull the trigger and, happily, it seems to be doing well.

    They've already settled on a name, whether it's boy or girl:

    Kirby.

    EDIT: this was a double post so I will take this opportunity to relate to you the fact that when we were having the heavily poop themed conversation I noted with delight that both the girls who were eating ice cream had chocolate ice cream.

    The chances of Republican congressmen actually caring about if and when fetal pain starts instead of just wanting to create a slippery slope to banning all abortions is kind of slight.

    the problem with attempting to be funny through shock by transgression, the way I see it

    is that first, well, you need to be skilled to actually make it funny

    which means that it needs to be absurd that you'd say something like that. I can heartily laugh at jokes so horrible they're funny, because what an absurd thing for you to say something so horrible.

    also as an aside you need to not come across as a douchebag in which case I won't laugh I'll just keep on not liking you

    but also it often comes across as kind of lazy.

    There are a few issues, yeah.

    1) if it isn't funny, you're just saying something cruel or crude without any redeeming value.

    2) if it isn't absurd, as you say, it won't be funny. Rape jokes are a problem in this way because so many people believe horrible things about women, and make jokes not to be absurd and horrible but to make reference to and revel in their gross ideas. To make the statement horrifying and absurd, you have to have a setup - context, background story, previous jokes to set a tone, your identity as a comedian, etc. You have to make it clear that you're mocking rapists because they're awful.

    3) Sometimes the transgression will outweigh the humor for some of your audience. This is a matter of their response and out of your control, so you have to be willing to face that.

    4) irony of this type is sometimes a mask for authentic expression of bad ideas. It is important to separate oneself from that.

    Tomorrow I'm gonna call up my mates and see if they're down for taking a trip to somewhere retarded, like one of them suggested.
