Personally, I had a reaction similar to triddle's. I don't think he was trying to get sympathy for his neighbor, he was trying to point out, just like many of you did as well, that prison simply sucks. The disconnect between the reality of prison and the namby-pamby "oh all the prisoners have it so wonderful" fantasy presented in the joke was too great to suspend disbelief. Humor is much more successful if it's more closely based on reality. I mean, do you really think prisoners "would be helped instantly if they fell"?
Thank you! I had completely given up hope that I would be understood and I did not want to spam the channel with my own defense.

I'd call the majority of people in here severe assholes but you'd probably take it as a compliment.

I like the part where Triddle gets butt hurt. Thanks for turning the not so funny joke thread into lulz.

I agree, it can be hard to look at yourself in certain situations and decide that perhaps the course of action wasn't ideal. I appreciate the fact that you have evaluated your position and taken a course of action in an attempt to correct the situation and remember to try to keep this kind of stuff from happening again.

Wait... that's what I did! What you did was just be another asshole.

Still butt hurt?

I looked at myself and decided that my action was both ideal and ass holy. Calm down ya douche, I was genuinely thankful that you turned this thread into a 2/10 from a 1/10.

P.S. Don't try to keep this kind of stuff from happening again, just be yourself so we can all laugh (even when the joke sucks).

Actually I wasn't referring explicitly to you about putting consideration into things but I needed the segue to make my point. Thanks for putting some consideration in anyway.

The transition from being the sole reason this joke sucked to the sole reason the thread has any merit takes me by surprise.

I'm not going to willfully be the butt end of your jokes.
