Not really, I feel like I could do better.

More than likely.

Once I start crying I'm in it for the long haul. Fair warning.

Then why is there red, green, yellow etc in it? Or is this some elaborate joke I'm missing? Also...

What are you talking about? I see no yellow in Batty's sig...

I figured it out: jokes about colour blindness are TH's comedic blind spot.

Last night I changed my sig to a repeating line of "UNRESTRICTEDSUBMARINEWARFARE", bolded, highest font size, all caps, no spaces, and in eye-watering yellow.

It filled up almost a whole screen and doubled the length of the screen from right to left. It was glorious until the mods took it down.

OK, well thanks for that Bats. Thought I was going even more senile than usual...

and Frown, you may think you are, but you're not funny. It's nothing to do with my sense of humour; I just find yours annoying and I never know when you're being serious. Allied to the thing about Batty's sig, that could have meant that there was something my PC was not displaying, so I fail to see how you thought it was, or could have been figured out to be, a joke.

And you call Neapolitan unfunny??

I think comedy is a little more subjective than you give it credit for. It's everything to do with your sense of humour.

To understand where Frownland's humor comes from, I think it would be helpful to watch Office Space.
