I always thought their clothes were all white or black and shades of gray. High-falutin' "color" tv, bah.

used them because they thought they looked the best in the black and white color. And he did, always look great.

Nevermind. I think you found the only funny ones. Lol.
On 2nd edit, I was looking through boomershumor. I'll check out boomerhumor to see if it's any better. The other one was pretty depressing - children posting embarrassing crap their parents posted to FB in an attempt at humor.

Lots of young'uns on Reddit, and they like to make fun of us Boomers. I try to avoid their political stuff though, because they have their share of right-wingers too.

So if you wander around Reddit, search out their other humor pages, they have a lot of good ones. Avoid the politics if you can.

I think it's refreshing how liberal those communities are. They really go after trolls with a vengeance too.

So the "Redditors" - other posters - do pounce quickly.

I go through the Pittsburgh Reddit a couple times per week and they seem to be rather liberal-progressive on there. Can't really say for the other pages. For friendly politics I like to spend my time on DU.

19. Funny! But "Triangelist"?

Not sure about getting that spelling from "triangle". Seems like it should be "triangleist"? Or maybe "trianglist" if we follow the same rule as tuba-tubist we would get triangle-trianglist (remove the ending vowel & add "ist&quot .

I don't know!!!

Ok, after a quick Google, I believe it should in fact be "triangleist". Yes, I'm a geek for spelling & punctuation.

Sometimes we get a little nit-picky here and a few people get annoyed. So I didn't mention it.

I'm one of those folks who won't share a meme if it has spelling or grammar errors. I truly believe we should be better & smarter than that.

Old is quite bold
I have been told
And the sky is blue
According to Stu
Trump is a dump
and should live in a pigeon camp
Trump is a runt
Who belongs in a garbage dump
I should show you a slide,
But now I got to hide................

Yes, one of the worst ever??? But......
