Can large heavy people take a joke ?

[BrianPGH]

You say that you were simply joking, "in a friendly way." Do you regret at all that you may have hurt someone's feelings?

As a big guy, I can take a joke easily and have learned to do so at my own expense at times.​

The real questions are though:

1.) Can you tell a joke & it come across as one?
2.) Can you survive the beating if the guy can't take the joke or doesn't know it is one?

Don't pretend fat people are angels. Same goes with skinny people.

Example:
Fat: Rush Lumbert (spelling), Fat Karl Rove, Fat Glen Beck,
Fat crazy house swap lady about god ... etc
Alan Jones one of the nastier guy in Australia ...

 

[BlondeLuxe]

I can...though I am not seen as "heavy" I do have some imperfections but I have just learned to laugh and say some silly remark when approached about my weight in a negative manner.

 

[Just_Believe18]

I don't even know how you function on a day-to-day basis. How does your employment and boss cope with you? What sort of friends do you have?

 

[glasvegas]

I must say, Telly and the rest of the fictional characters in JUB are one of the reasons I love JUB.

So can large heavy people take this joke ?

No.

But they can take the last piece of cake.

What?

Diggin you diggin dat hole

The heavy guy you mentioned, you hurt the bloke's feelings. He might have been bullied all his life for his weight, consider that and wonder if your joke was appropriate or not...

 

[vidarr]

The way all of you gang up on Telstra, personally insulting him is just as bad.

Pettiness is not wanting on these forums...

 

[Essex Boy]

Tel's remark reminds me of that traditional Essex chat-up line, 'You don't sweat much for a fat bird, do you?'

Ok here is another joke, i would NOT say it when chatting one on one.
[STRIKE]Fat is not nice because they eat all other peoples food !!! [/STRIKE]




just joking ok.

Do you really expect us to believe that, after five years, with nearly twenty three thousand posts on this site, your English hasn’t improved any better than what you’ve posted here?

the guy 180cm 110kg.
I said "you might crushed me" ... jokingly in a friendly way, then he blocked me right away LOL


So can large heavy people take this joke ?

“you might crushed me”

Really?

If your story is true, the guy probably thought that he had stumbled on to a child, or at the least, someone whose intelligence/personality will never develop past that of a child – a hopeless and/or potentially dangerous situation.

Was he right?

Or is this story bogus, and ‘Telstra’ just an act?

Either way, Telstra, no change/improvement in your character after 5 years and 23,000 posts is more than a bit tedious, don’t you think? Not just for you, but also for all of the JUB members who have tried understand you and help you out in the past.

Maybe it’s time, dear, to fess up, grow up, or shut up.

And by ‘shut up’, I mean, of course, don’t expect anyone here to pay you any mind at all.

" TROLL" ??
i'm watching this now to see if i fit the bill:

[windsors]

WOW! Every time I see Telstra's avatar, I think the world has a crack in it...

 

[G-Lexington]

Fat is not nice because they eat all other peoples food !!!

ooooo, BURN!!! That's the best zinger since that three-pack of vanilla snack cakes I had half an hour ago. Hilarious, poignant, and very very painful...because it's very very true. (The three hallmarks of the best in social satire.) That cut so deep that there's only one cute for the deep, incisive pain it caused - a trip to Krispy Kreme for a couple dozen glazed. Hopefully, those won't be YOUR donuts I'm eating - ha ha! Well, if they are, it's like me jumping on a grenade - taking the damage so you won't have to, keeping you in shape, and ensuring you can still have friends and hook-ups. Ours is a noble cause.

[geloge]

I'll just ignore the mean comments until the real heavy weight comes in ...

can't small brainless people take a joke?

 

[Telstra]

Telstra, I think it was a mistake for you to brush him off so easily. I can think of several "chubs" whom I'd love to "meet"--Tyler Florence, Chuck Hughes, et. al.

Don't toss somebody away because they might have a few extra pounds. You might be throwing away the pearl with the oyster.

???
only afew chats back and forth then he ran away.
Actually i had afew large heavy guys before.

So some of you guys (not u Johann) don't know what they are talking about.
Just want to be mean because they can?

 

[Telstra]

^Telstra, maybe the faux pas could serve as a lesson.

I think it's better not to mention a man's weight at all.

you'll never get into trouble for the things you don't say.

But aren't you suppose to speak your mind within reasons ?

 

[palbert]

They can take a joke when presentedd with one, which you didn't: you were rude and impolite and not civil at all.

 

[vulgar_newcomer]

I understand why everyone is jumping on Telstra but change the word from fatty to smoker, or a thread on drinking and a bunch of you would hammer in with opinions of shit related to a thread that was titled not to attract you. (i.e. thread: "Who likes to get drunk regularly", or "what brand of cigarette do you smoke ", or "How many tattoos do you have"?) The hate would flow against smokers, drinkers, and people with tattoos by the goodie~2~shoe preachers on here. Instead of bypassing the thread they chime in bullshit hate anyway.
I get that weight can be somewhat different caused and reason such as medications or medical problems the vast majority is related to fucking Coke and Burger King. Still Telstra knew what hornets nest he was stepping into by his wording.
