It’s Called Private Messaging
for a Reason
for a Reason
What part of Private Messaging
don’t people understand?
Some people post the strangest, most invasive,
personal questions and comments
on people’s Facebook pages.
But here’s an idea:
If it’s a private message,
send it as a, get this,
a Private Message.
Your family, friends, and associates
don’t need to know if the anti-itch cream
helped to clear things up.
The only problem with Private Messaging
is when you have a bunch of people
as part of the same Private Message,
but then someone who’s on Facebook
at the same time as you
posts a comment to that Private Message,
but it pops on your computer
as an Instant Message.
So you think you’re in a private conversation
with just that person.
But then you make personal comments
that you don’t want the others to know.
Or you voice your less than favorable opinions of them.
Oops!
You try to claim that what they read
that you said was taken out of context.
But they’re right in replying,
“How can ‘he’s such a selfish, self-righteous tool’
be taken out of context?”
And, sadly, they’re right in firing you too.
Which is why you shouldn’t be Facebook friends
with your boss or contacts thereof.
Unless you create a different account with an alias,
so you can post whatever you want
between you and your friends.
“Wow! That bluesniper7 sure runs through
a lot of tubes of anti-itch cream!”
George Carlin:
Think of how stupid the average person is;
and realize half of them are stupider than that.
Jerry Seinfeld:
Men want the same thing from their underwear that they want from women:
a little bit of support, and a little bit of freedom.
Dean Burkey:
Lately, I’ve been reading like crazy!
I wear a straightjacket and turn the pages with my nose.
Mitch Hedberg:
I tried to have a cookie;
and this girl said, “I’m mailing those cookies to my friend.”
So I couldn’t have one.
You shouldn’t make cookies untouchable.
Steven Wright:
I have a large seashell collection,
which I keep scattered on beaches all over the world.
Some folks may find some of the following language offensive.
But try to look past that, because this is brilliant!
