banana, father of a 4 yr old *still* in potty training. :eek:

Post by: capt. apathy on May 30, 2003, 11:10:20 AM: ok laz here's the explaination (the toon makes perfect sense)

the caption "men should pause for one moment and take another long hard look at the very thing that brings meaning to their meaningless lives"

then the picture- the 'men' pull open their shorts and take a long hard look at their crotch.

Didn't want to spoil the "punchline" by spelling it out for you in detail. :p

But thats just my liberal 'group-hug' kind of personality.

You still didn't explain it fully for poor lazs, you merely described the cartoon.

The whole "joke" is that the woman in the cartoon is refering to "women" as being the thing that brings meaning to men's lives....in terms of emotions, love, appreciation of a beautiful flower etc etc etc.

I think lazs knows it too....he is just in agreement with the penguin and other male character and cannot fathom what "else" could bring such meaning to men's lives. I tend to agree with him too.
