Challenge #04408-L024: Kharmic Realignment Well Overdue

The child keeps playing pranks on people despite being scolded. Then a very scary, but kind, individual helps them realize, that they can't keep doing that. -- Anon Guest

Don't pull on a horse's tail and act surprised when it kicks. Don't taunt a hungry dog and act surprised when it bites. But most especially, do not cross a Hellkin and act surprised when you get exactly what you deserve.

None of this entered Bili's head as they went into the markets looking for trouble to stir. "Accidentally" spilling baskets of eggs, cans of milk, or jars of honey was losing its thrill. Yanking kerchiefs from unguarded pokes was still a frightening prospect. Tripping up withered old things by tangling their canes or staves got a laugh. Taking toys from toddlers and making them jump for it was hilarious.

And of whenever they got someone angry, their automatic response was, "Can't you take a joke?[1]" And because some of Bili's friends were laughing, they got away with it. Until the Hellkin came through town.

Challenge #02822-G265: Comedy vs Offensensitivity

"Although your jokes are funny, please never say them again.” Upon hearing this the person suddenly began to laugh, just like how he began he stop. “Never.” The person formed a cheeky grin “though Jokes usually make people laugh, some don’t. But always have the same principal: leave you different than you first started.” “Jokes are supposed to make you laugh-“ the person wave their finger in front of my face “jokes like that is like eating ice cream: eat too

Challenge #01906-E082: What Trickles Down

Medieval Jesters and modern clowns can do what others can't. Mock the mighty, poke fun at sacred cows, and give people a hug without facing an assault charge. it's called Clown's Privilege and should be treated as a gift. We allow the bizarre to touch us in so many ways -- Anon Guest

Three things to do. (1) Get up there, (2) Tell the unvarnished truth, and (3) Make it so funny that the Grand Dictator doesn't decide to execute you.

Challenge #01902-E078: They Who Laugh Last

"I'm hungry !" / "Hi Hungry, I'm dad !"

"A man walks into a bar and says 'Ouch'."

"Why is a raven like a writing desk ? Because there is a 'b' in both and an 'n' in neither."

Those 3 English examples show perfectly why a "universal translator" is something impossible. You CAN translate it, but it will be incomprehensible.

Not convinced ? Here's a French example with a literal translation :

Que dit une maman baleine a son enfant qui fait trop de bruit ?

Cétacé ! (C'est

[prompt given by i-clash-with-everything]

Dear diary,

Today was one of my more relaxing days. I only had some work to do in the afternoon and that was all that was scheduled for me, so I was given permission to sleep in. As a result, I also had time to sit down and have a more proper breakfast than I normally did.

I
