    Funny
In summary, the conversation is about funny phrases that might not be appropriate for public consumption. People are discussing how to censor these phrases and how to avoid offending other commenters. Some rules are proposed, such as not trying to explain the phrase, and limiting comments to a few. There is discussion of a hypothetical situation in which someone is defending their sister's honor and has to climb a water tower with a bucket of paint. The thread ends with a reminder that December 4th is the deadline for the thread to die.

I was reading one of the other posts and just got to thinking, what would happen if we had a post of funny phrases taken out of context?

So we need some rules:

Don't try and set up or explain the phrase

Try to keep other comments to a minimum (I've found it's impossible to cut them out completely).

Other than that all I have to say is:

"He has a wife, you know."

Damnit! I know the perfect story to get a quote from, but it's in a book across an ocean.

I'm making a house rule that this thread can't die until December 4th
