Talking to my brother

[Relent<]

Nothing productive ever comes of these conversations, but I happened to engage him in a pretty hilarious conversation the other day so I thought I'd tell you all about it.

So apparently they've recently discovered Amelia Earheart's body somewhere on an island off the south Atlantic or Pacific, I don't recall. Anywho, there was this thing on the news about it that we were watching, and apparently there were some people protesting the release of this information, saying that it was better to leave the mystery in-tact. So my brother, yelling at the tv, says to it,
"Bull shit; She died on an island because she flew off and got lost in the middle of damn nowhere. Just like a woman."

I was honestly speechless for a moment. Then I laughed my ass off.

If there was a like button I would have liked this a dozen times over xD
Damn Facebook lol :stickout

 

[Mash]

That's what she got for leaving the k-...

No... No, I better not go that far.

Your brother sounds like just the kind of chap who'd give a brilliant after dinner speech at a militant feminist event.

Uh-huh...tell me guys...when was the last time you all tried to fly a WWII-era plane across the pacific.

Whenever you do, lemme know beforehand as we'll see how many times YOU GUYS get lost AND REFUSE TO ASK FOR DIRECTIONS too boot!

:stickout :stickout :stickout

How exactly do you get lost on this planet? =P

Flying in a straight line from the US and you're going to hit Asia or Africa. You really have to go well out of your way to get lost while flying over the Pacific Ocean.

Oh, I thought we were being humorous.

MAH BAD.

Well in our defense Mash hun, there's not much funny about a famous icon for women's rights crash landing and dying on some remote island.

 

[Mash]

Oh, people need to lighten up.
I never implied that it couldn't happen to a guy, at any rate.

I've made fun of things far worse than this, and I'd be willing to bet that the people who called me on this have too.

 

[Relent<]

Technically, the fact that we're making fun of a dead famous woman shows that women are by all accounts equal on a societal scale. I won't go so far as to say economically men and women are identical, but that was actually the doing of the feminists; but I digress.

Everyone gets made fun of; live or dead; man or woman; black or white. This is America.

Or, perhaps more accurately, this is the internet... :stickout

You either learn to laugh at yourself, or you end up alone in a house full of smelly, dying cats.
