No, doc, apparently my humour is poor.

C’est la vie (which means “That’s life” in French) is pronounced say la vee, so I said la vie!

I apologize for the bad joke. It just goes to prove that they all cannot be winners...

---------------------------

By the way, doc, I felt it was befitting to acknowledge and honor you, a FlyerTalk legend, with a special post in a thread that may one day also be a FlyerTalk legend, if it is not one already...

Au contraire! That was by far the best joke I read today, and I read a few.

Canarsie...I also got your "Say la vie" response/joke right off, and thought it was a good one. :)

I got it too.

Not all of us are humor impaired.

Thanks very much Canarsie! :)

Actually, FWIW, I thought your joke was quite superb! :D

And I get/got it thanks!

It seems I was unclear, however, as my comment above concerning my seemingly poor sense of humor actually related to the prior post:

I'd stated, as you see, that

Have a great weekend all! :)

In retrospect, I should have taken more care to separate these two distinct thoughts, one concerning the proper French translation, and the second earlier comment, concerning the apparent joke that I'd missed - and still do, sadly! :(

I'd made a factual statement and was kinda' baffled by the posters response. So I asked, "Really? I didn't think so. Perhaps I don't understand? How so?..."

Again, while I'd always thought and been told that I had a good sense of humor, perhaps I should be the one apologizing for my poor sense of humor? :)

Maybe I take/took Flyertalk too seriously? Am I missing something here? Thanks! :)

Oh
my
God.

Where? Where? ;)

FewMiles..

I feel your pain, Gaucho100K. Post Envy is, in many aspects, more psychologically devastating than it's more commonly known counterpart. Your Post total is hanging out there in all it's glory for the world to either admire or scorn. There's no hiding your Post total in your shorts and hoping folks think it bigger than it actually is. It is what it is and it takes a strong man to deal with this reality.

Do Kellogg’s, General Mills and Quaker Oats have Post Envy, or am I just merely milking this issue by spoon-feeding this information to everybody?

For example, C’est la vie is French for “That’s Life” where Life pertains to the cereal produced by General Mills.

As far as psychological devastation concerning Post Envy, Cholula is absolutely correct. Based on experimental clinical studies, experts believe that Post Envy is an early sign of the slow progression towards the development of a person into becoming a cereal killer.

By the way, I was bowled over when I discovered which corporate conglomerates owned which companies...

My post count remained unchanged.

Nah. I'll just about bet it increased by one in the past couple of hours. ;)

Worse yet, a serial poster. Almost pathalogicial in nature. Needing the attention of the police (Randy) or the Press (the FT members). Posting without reason. Perhaps due to people not paying attention to them in real life.

As the police were investigating a murder scene, it was until the profiler arrived that they understood the meaning of the bizarre ritual.

The man was lying down in a tub full of milk and sliced bananas, it was obvious that this was the work of a

cereal killer


:D

I found that story to be somewhat flaky, jfe. I do not believe there was a grain of truth to that.

However, in terms of exercising your sense of humor, it is nice to see that you are sowing your wild oats.

To get this thread back on track, I realize that I never responded to the actual topic of this thread:

I lost no posts as a result of the transition of FlyerTalk from the Ultimate Bulletin Board (UBB) software to the vBulletin bulletin board software.

Truth or fiction...it bowled me over!
