It goes without saying - let's keep it civil here, and use some quality judgment. If you can't be funny without shock or disrespect, save the joke for another circumstance.

@Silent Q: Sage f'ing advice.

@Hatey McLife: +1

@HelloMouthBreathers: That's not what we do here.

@The Orange Naranja:

@LesGrossman: Are 'Obligatory' jokes ever actually funny?

@GodivaLilja: Hope Mr. Homeowner doesn't hurt his foot getting you off his stoop.

@Philadelphia Union - Shove it DC:

@Steve U: Thank you, and all others, for not replying to that tragedy.

@Steve Grogan Bud Bowl MVP: Oh, I saw that; the point is that pun chains are like fentanyl suppositories - thrilling, delicious, exciting, dangerous, and best enjoyed sparingly.

@Chris Hanson's Axe: While I generally agree with Mr Axe's contention regarding pun chains, in this limited circumstance, the unintended consequences have been pretty damn funny.

@dilligaf76: Bleah. #jennsterger

@Im_your_Huckleberry: Singling you out to make a point, sport. Tough to make these jokes work. #jennsterger

@SEDonaldson: ERROR!

@roland_t_flakfizer: +500 #newyorkyankees

Got any idea where FAILBETTE learned those nasty little moves she has? #peterking

@FrancoeurFellator: You're lucky - you were the 999th person to mistake repeating that Simpsons quote for actually making a joke. The 1000th gets a special FAILBOT mystery prize. #markmcgwire

@txtanner88: What an insightful, artfully worded observation. #espnhorndoggery

@Gerard Lieberman: How didn't anyone else think of this? Wonderful! #nfl

@FAILBETTE: I'm really glad I met you when you were going through your 'experimental' phase. #stevephillips
