Mostly True Memoirs
I LOVE STUPID HUMOR
I love stupid humor.
My student used the term “expression face” when she meant to use “facial expression.”
I immediately thought of the Boaty McBoatface PR fiasco.
I considered discussing this with her.
But I decided against it.
How do you explain that sometimes stupid is stupid.
And sometimes stupid is funny.
It’s purely subjective.
I think that the Boaty McBoatface story was hilarious.
But I’ll bet there were folks at the Natural Environment Research Council who were not so amused.
Or maybe they were.
Who knows?
There are no rules when it comes to stupid humor.
And if there are no rules, there is no logical way to explain it.
I skipped the whole Boaty McBoatface thing and just continued the lesson.
