Inane humor. Yes. Making fun of others. No (hopefully no real mean spirited intent here.). Just having fun with others. Don't like my post, pick it apart. At best, I will enjoy the joke at my expense and laugh along with others and be glad to have given them something to laugh about.
At worst, I will know that you read my post, even if you didn't understand it or like it.

Just one question:

Is this what is known as belittling?

We’re all grown, elderly age adults (at least most of you are) so what do it matter? None of us were part of the “everyone gets a participation trophy” generation so who really will get their feelings hurt?

I’m sure that 100% of people on TOTV know they run the risk of getting getting snide remarks thrown their way if their comments warrant it.

Just go around the next roundabout and come back. Much safer.

I do believe that there isn't a another roundabout between there and 44. Like the guy said, he goes right and then makes a left into the fire station to get South.

My mother used to say, "Blind in one eye, can't see out of the other..."

I am legally blind in one eye since I was 2 and it is not very limiting. It dies not necessitate using voice to post here.

Yes, I'm jesting, and "my name's not Shirley."

I remember the line, but not where it came from.

One of those unforgettable very famous lines from the cinema. Just like, "Frankly, Scarlett, I don't give a damn".

I drive past this intersection most days. I have never seen it so busy that a driver could not negotiate a right or left turn after a short pause. Perhaps it is time to give up driving.

In my previous job (traffic specialist / police) I took complaints like this and investigated for a large city. City traffic planners were always aware of any legitimate issues and had good reasons not to change the current traffic set ups.

Once had a comedian explanation of humor that went something like this.
All jokes, things folks find funny have to have a butt to the joke, be it a person, animal, place or thing.
Example of person might be a "blond" joke or child putting their spaghetti bowl on their head.
Example of animal might be dog butt scooting.
Always a butt or focus point for humor. The supposed injury is not serious or fatal.
"Man falls three floors, hits sidewalk, bounces once and lands on feet then walks casually away" - funny.
"Man falls three floors, splat, dead" - not funny.

Now, OP, pointed out that traffic signal is needed. Good, but serious and not funny. OP's post, for whatever reason had errors of various kinds. No one hurt as a result of post that many of others here found some humor in. No real or lasting harm intended or done.

To OP, thanks for bringing attention to a traffic problem. Also, I hope you were not offended by the fun some of us enjoyed as a result of minor errors we had some fun with.

What else can we have fun with. Oh, if anyone sees me fall flat on my ass, please finish laughing be for asking if I'm ok.

Charles Schulz once said something to the effect of "slipping and falling on a banana peel is not funny. Unless it's the other guy slipping and falling on a banana peel. Then it's funny."

He was asked why he never let Charley Brown kick the football. He said "because that's not funny."
When he went to his 50th high school reunion he introduced himself to an old classmate who said "Charles Schulz, huh? Too bad your not the real Charles Shulz, you know, the one who does 'Peanuts'". He couldn't convince this woman that he was the "real" Charles Schulz. He said that wasn't funny either.

I thought it was. So, funny is different things to different people I suppose.

Absolutely agree. I like the the many degrees of slapstick comedy, my wife hates the three stooges. As you said, different things to different people.

The wonderful W. C. Fields used to carry a hip flask. He once slipped and fell on his behind. Realizing the back of his pants were wet, he quipped,. " Godfrey Daniels, I hope that's blood."
