1. You see the headline and you think you are about too see a touching moment.
2. You see the picture and think "Reagan feeding a chimp.. kinda touching..."
When I first saw your post, I went through 1 and 2. I guess I missed the bottom line, which was off the bottom of the screen.
I puzzled as to why anybody would think that funny enough to post in humor. And then I went on to a different thread.
When I later came back (probably because of another post in
Humour VII), I saw that long row of jeers, so looked more closely to try to understand why. That's when I got to:
3. You see the final explanation, which is really racist, and denotes the 2 parts you see before no. 3.
and that certainly explained the jeers.
In any case, I gave you the benefit of the doubt (see
Message 549) and did not add my own jeer.
It does seem to me that if you see only points 1 and 2, then it is not at all funny. And once you see point 3, it is very unfunny.
So I am still shaking my head in puzzlement.
