why do you hate fun?

  tl;dr: To me, it wasn't funny. ======== Firstly, and just for the record, I didn't down-vote you. Not least I can't, since your comment is a reply to mine, but I wouldn't've done so anyway. It's clear that you think this sort of email is cute and fun. Possibly I used to think so too, 30 years ago. Now, however, I've seen too many of them, read too many of them, felt cheated of time by too many of them. I don't hate fun. I love having fun. I seek out having fun. I make time to have fun. What's not fun, pretty much by definition, is someone else's attempt at humor that is not, to me, funny. If it had been me receiving that email I'd've resented the 30 seconds it took to check that its content was "CD posted", and that everything else was there purely for entertainment. I didn't find it entertaining. My tastes have changed over the years. So, in short, I love fun, have lots of fun, and think lots of things are funny. That wasn't one of them.
