  • The following was posted on Fisheaters by some unsung genius about a decade ago. It's the kind of joke that will never get old. If anyone was on that forum back in 2010 or 2011 and remembers who posted this, can you please say, so that they can receive the glory they deserve.

  • This is a hoot!

    But don't forget about how demanding that traditional Catholic women can be.  I'm all for having standards, and high standards at that, but some of them... well, it's probably not unheard of, for them to stay single for life, because no man can measure up.  And there is no nice way to put this, but they do not always bring that much to the table themselves, in the way of personality, intelligence, appearance, and so on.  Sometimes you get the idea they don't want to get married (for whatever reason, possibly even reasons they don't wish to discuss) and are just making excuses.  I've known of cases.

    And then again there are Catholic women who seem actually to prefer to "find a man out in the world and convert him".  This would especially apply if the man has everything else they want (especially money) and only lacks the Catholic Faith.

    And Megan Fox's thumbs are too short.  :jester:

  • This kind of humor isn't my cup of tea -- the whole thing drips with *Fisheaters* tier humor. 

    If you were an average Fisheaters member, totally fitting in, having all the average beliefs, you'd get all the jokes.

    The things this paper jokes about aren't the same things CI members have criticized and joked about. These jokes were tailored for FE members, not CI members. A whole different flavor. 

    Hard to describe it, but as an amateur poet I definitely taste the "flavor".

    Think of some of your own users-- people like Banezian, Croix de Fer, etc.-- and I think the humor will become clear.
    "Be kind; do not seek the malicious satisfaction of having discovered an additional enemy to the Church... And, above all, be scrupulously truthful. To all, friends and foes alike, give that serious attention which does not misrepresent any opinion, does not distort any statement, does not mutilate any quotation. We need not fear to serve the cause of Christ less efficiently by putting on His spirit". (Vermeersch, 1913).

    I think Laura was the name of the pervert man who wanted to be a woman. Sickening.

    That one puzzles me too. I think most likely it's just an inside joke with the author, like maybe he had a bad experience with someone named Laura.

    I suppose most people know who Gertrude Stein and Megan Fox are, but I haven't a clue.

    Yes, a great deal can be learned about the author's personal history, like this:
    13. Are you a virgin?: ____
    14. If you answered "yes" to question 13, but are over the age of 16 please explain how this is possible:
    A traditional Catholic who is not rationalizing his own illicit behavior would not be projecting such low moral standards onto others (even as a joke.)

    When I have a little more time, I might write up something myself.

    In all fairness, though, I do not recall ever knowing a traditional Catholic man who had standards anywhere close to what is described in this humor piece.

    One question I would put on my own such application, if I were in a state of life to be considering such things, would be "can I trust her out of my sight?".

    So many shenanigans go on out in the world.

    .
    I think part of the reason it's so funny for me is because it's hard to tell exactly who is being pilloried here. It's capable of various interpretations. Is it making fun of trad women who are influenced by modern ideas? That's one possible interpretation. Is it making fun of men who want women to fulfill more traditional roles in society and in marriage? That's also possible. It kind of looks to me more like a self-parody than a parody of someone else. I'm not sure; it's sort of a Rorschach test in which everyone sees their own ideas, I think. There are multiple layers here, which I think is part of what makes it so clever.
