Silliest thing I've read so far today *: "waving his enormous unchecked privilege around" --*well. I've only been reading for 15 mins so far

@PhilosophyExp Yup. They should see MY enormous untrammelled privilege waving around. :-)
@Gurdur You're lucky, it's been years since my privilege was last enormous...

@PhilosophyExp When I was a child in East Africa, one often saw privileges extended by weights hanging down (clothing was scanty often) -
@Gurdur Ah, so that's where I went wrong...!

@PhilosophyExp Mind you, using weights to extend a privilege often made it useless, non-functional. 14" long but no function possible -
@Gurdur Well, it's all about the show, right...? -
@PhilosophyExp Taking the handicap theory of sexual selection and display in evolution a few inches too far, one thinks. -
@Gurdur So what you're saying is not enough Pea but too much Cock..? (Lame attempt at sexual selection joke!). -
@PhilosophyExp Very good. Although I was racking my brain for a joke on the Whydah bird (tail feathers), but it only works in German. -
@Gurdur Well, you'd get brownie points for a joke that only works in German, albeit I wouldn't actually understand the joke. -
@PhilosophyExp I once tried telling a neurological joke that only works in English to my top neuro (and German) prof. Fell flat, xenophobia
