Title: What?
Post by: gene on February 22, 2011, 08:57:20 pm
Peppy had a video on JuneC's post that I didn't understand. He also had a post about a Christmas tree plug that I did understand.

So, here's my post that Peppy's posts reminded me of. You've got to watch the entire thing to 'get it'.

What?

I got it right off the bat. The title helped though.

My post to June would be described by Germans as Schadenfreude. "is pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others" or "making me feel glad that I'm not you" or "ha-ha" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schadenfreude

What can I say? I'm a product of my environment. For example- the boat painter was trying to winch a boat farther onto a bunk trailer, I saw the trailer flexing and was raising my finger to say "I think thats a bad idea"  but only got as far as "I..." when something snapped in the winch and he punched himself in the face with the handle very hard. After making sure he hadn't broke his nose or lost his eye the first words out of the bosses mouth were "Well the good news is it didn't make you any uglier."
