Am I making too much out of this, or was he trying to tell me

Edited on Sun Feb-17-08 08:56 AM by Tuesday Afternoon

something, or was it just a joke?

So, I am talking to this guy on the phone and I say, "Are you on the cusp of Aquarius?".

And, He says, "Yeah. I am bi-quarius."

okay.

changed the subject.

:wtf:

1. It was probably funny to him

Humor is a very subjective thing

I wonder what difference it makes to you but that might not be something you're eager to discuss in a public forum

17. i hear ya

like someone else said, humor is subjective :P

I'm bi and make a lot of jokes about it so stuff like that will usually crack me up if it's not meant as hostile

19. then, I am right in thinking --

it would be a joke a bi would make? I really think he is trying to use humor to approach the subject.

Thanks for your honesty, FINALLY.

I do not meant to offend anyone. If the mods think this needs to be moved, by all means please send it to the appropriate forum.

I've known since puberty pretty much, though I didn't have a word for it till I was about 16 (I grew up extremely sheltered by fundies).

14. yeah --

Why did he even call? I haven't talked to him since November. I would just have soon it stayed that way. If he calls back, I am going to tell him to lose my number. For so many reasons other than his :wtf: humor. We won't go there on a public message board.

Good to see you. :hug: How is work? :hi:

32. Hey!

Work is good, busy, and not quite so overwhelming as it was when I first started just shy of a month ago.

The flu did me in week before last, but am feeling completely recovered and energetic as of this weekend.

Thanks for asking! How goes it with you? :hug: :hi: :loveya:

18. I'd call it a mildly funny joke, but heavy on the 'lame'

Not worth repeating around the water cooler...

26. If crickets are frequent contributors to a conversation,

then it really isn't a conversation worth having. Life's too short for awkward silences...

and we could extrapolate it all kinds of ways...it still ends up with a "kinky" sexual inneundo, right?

He swings both ways, doesn't he.

33. Sometimes...

people hear a joke that they think is very funny and sticks in their heads, and they look for places to use it. This might have been his first chance in a while to do so. :-)

39. Yes, and being a pun, most people won't think it is funny.

Most people will have the same reaction you did.

People either find puns hilarious, or groan at them. There's no in-between.
