Maybe this is in the spirit of the original “disappearing thread”, but I think we gotta go back and appreciate how lame that joke was. . .
First of all, I think that everyone of us thought of 15 jokes the nano-second we saw the thread title. So, you just gotta hold it in when you know everyone else has thought of it.
Second of all, her joke didn’t even really make sense because it was “smallest living organism with a brain”, not “organism with the smallest brain” (which is what she ‘riffed’ on).
Third, she used the old 1-2 construct. The what?
- Make joke.
- Say “sorry, thought you meant. . .” That’s just a rough, rough way to try to get a laugh.
Fourth, a lawyer joke? Oh my. At least if she said something like “Poland!” it would have had a nice Archie Bunker air to it while also being a bit incongruous in it’s agreement, always a nice touch, IMHO.
Actually, it was so godawful and useless that I actually appreciate the amount of gall it took to click the submit button.
That is one of the extremely few bumper stickers I might actually put on my car.
I saw it too! I clicked on it, and was told I wasn’t authorized to view it. Then it disapeared.
I also dream of one day getting pitted. The closest I’ve come, is being called a cunt in somebody else’s pit thread. But then, the perpetrator emailed an apology. Dammit!
To be fair, the whole lawyers have no soul shit gets a little old.
We get it, you don’t like lawyers.
Well, we all know that arguments about gun control belong in Great Debates.
I…
A cake without icing is like a day without sunshine.
Point taken! 
'Twas moi. It was a returning guest who started the thread, so I sent to outer space. Besides, at that point, there wasn’t much to the thread. I didn’t think poor John Carter of Mars would feel its loss so.
Aw, Skip, that thread had POTENTIAL! It was going to be the end-all of pit threads. You could just sort of feel it comin’. Then; then; phht she was gone.
I’ll deal with the loss somehow, but to think that my life will ever be the same would be a grevious miscalculation.
YAY!
Shirley Pile!
I get pitted! Isn’t there suppose to be an initiation of some sort? These kind of things use to be civilized.
I make a lame irresponsible joke about lawyers with no shoes… no sole…HAH! I slay myself. and yeah, it was in GQ and I shouldn’t have and in an area that is so far out of my league, a gal can dream… but…it hung there…so ripe for the picking…
[intangent] I think the last thread in GQ that I fully understood was the What is the Velocity of Flatuence. Farts I understand. [/intangent]
Anywhoooo.
If I offended any lawyers out there and to the mods who must have bruises from the pile on, I am sorry. I shall aspire to keep my fluffy happy self to the confines of MPSIMS/CAFE/IMHO with little jumps into the Pit to amuse my vapid vaccuous (<—note two u’s & c’s.) person leaving me to inflict the most damage with my natural attributes. I have a Ph.D in Nonsense.
Please continue blaming me for Grand or Irritating Things.
Thank you for allowing me to address these important issues and the opportunity to kill this thread.
Carry on.
[clueless pedantic English mode] May I ask what intangent is? [/clueless pedantic English mode]
Parallel? Or maybe not. Ask Shirley, she knows.
… I thought it was funny.

What’s wrong with Mother Teresa’s ass?
Or, rather, what was wrong. Sorta extra saggy now, I guess.
Appropriately enough, Fr. DeBosier who taught me this limerick :
There was a young woman of Madras
Who had such a beautiful ass
Not round and pink
As you probably think
But gray, had long ears and ate grass.
He he he HAW
Congrat’s to Shirley Ujest. We can but to aspire… 
Well, I thought your joke was funny too. Even though I can’t prove it now, I actually added a couple more funnies.
Can I get on your Christmas card list? Huh? Huh?
