So, I write sometimes for this website that shall not be named, for this editor who shall not be named, right?
I try to contribute to said Editor things that I find amusing that I come across in my daily porn searches facebook stalkings hours I devote to looking for ways to donate money to adorable orphaned children and baby seals and be a good wife and mother while I cook the seven course meal and chill the beer.
Usually, said Editor is pretty on the ball with his sense of humor. But sometimes, just sometimes, he shows his true colors as a boss. You know, slow-witted with no sense of humor poor communication and just all around doesn’t get it awesome.
Well I originally wanted to post this picture and it was going to say:
“Before You Cast Your Faith-Based Vote”
I’m just sayin…. God sends little messages everywhere.
…And it was going to be awesome. But now, literally 13 EMAILS later…this is the debacle that ensued from such a simple (and *I* thought…extremely straightforward) funny picture.
(These are the actual emails)
Editor at 4:46pm
G, I didn’t get the “faith base vote” picture, I saw the ring, but it was on his right hand, and other than that I wasn’t sure what was funny about it?
G at 8:15pm <thinking to self “Oh shit, Editor despite all the boobsboobsboobs on the site is actually a devout Catholic”>
uh oh… hope I didn’t step on political toes with you…
the joke was check out behind his head
G at 8:16pm <only mildly freaking out, wondering how deep the Pope-loving rabbit hole goes>
err not political toes, I guess they’d be religious ones.
Sorry if I did.
G at 8:17pm <definitely freaking out as she decides to not find that funny, you have to be fire and brimstone and whip yourself every night for your sins and now he’s going to have the hand of God smite her>
we can skip that one, I don’t want to piss anyone off. Now that I think about it, if the COUNTY FAIR can offend people…
Editor at 8:05am
G, no offense taken, I just didn’t get the joke. I don’t know who that guy is behind the pope and I’m guessing that’s the lynchpin for the funny picture? Who is he/why is it funny?
P.S.> I’m not religious or particularly political. I think Zeigeist: The Movie would be a good indication of what my take on the world is.
G at 9:12am
lol oh Editor. Normally I think you’re pretty sharp. HE’S GOT HORNS!!!!!
HE’S GOT!!! HORNS!!!!
the guy behind him, his shirt collar makes it look like he has HORNS!!! Not to mention the evil look on his face.
sheesh!
Editor at 9:14am
oh wow… <fills up bathtub so he can drown himself in it>
Soooo…forget my original posting; if not because it was too controversial, definitely because I can never look at it the same. But, I suppose it’s still funny, in its own special way.
Kind of like a Pope with horns.

That’s funny…”I don’t know who that guy is behind the pope and I’m guessing that’s the lynchpin for the funny picture…”
I don’t know why that whole exchange is funny…maybe it’s the idea of G. feeling that flush of “Oh God, what have I done” combined with the esteemed editor thinking, “I should get this, but I don’t know who the hell that guy is…”
LMAO…

If it helps, I’ve signed myself up for “Basic Motor Skills 103″ at the local community college… you guys just watch out, I’m going to be sharp as a tack here really soon.
