To be fair, he's always smiling and his predecessor had to be the world's least photogenic Pope, so it's probably something that he's focused on doing himself.
“You’re never allowed to have an orgasm. Also you aren’t allowed to be grumpy.”
Nah dawg you gotta pick one.
Two nuns were riding bicycles through the old town on their way back to the convent. The one in front led them down a cobblestone road. The one in back said "I've never come this way before!"
"The one in front led them down a side road. The one in back said "huh, I've never come this way before". The one in front said "yeah, it's the cobblestones "
Switching that around adds not punch to the reveal.
Sure, but that's not a double entendre. Double entendres are ambiguous. Your example is a pun.
Isn't it? Come this way is still double. You just don't realize it's double until the end. Extra surprise.
Is it really a double entendre if it's unambiguous? I can't think of any other double entendre jokes that are spoiled by revealing a single interpretation.
Not realizing it's a double entendres is part of double entendre humor. Some people are clever enough to figure it out right away, and some are not. That is part of the humor.
I think you’re right. It switches the joke to a pun the latter way. That said, there can still be a moment of recognition as the pun sets in.
I kinda prefer the pun version. But I’m also a dad, and so inclined towards puns.
The picked the 2nd one.
Lots of rounded crosses in the convent.
Whats a rounded cross?
It's a... open with care nsfw
Vinegar is nasty
I like salt and vinegar potato chips.
You should've changed this to the Pope
FTFY
Salad dressing? Pickled jalapeños? Kim chee?
Pope is way off base.
i like vinegar strokes
These nasty nuns with their vinegar strokes
Tell your bf
This person is the devil himself
The copy/pasted article is missing the final paragraph, which I found delightful:
"In a lighter moment, Francis commented on the lack of young novices in the group, expressing concern about the dwindling numbers of women joining religious life."
Gosh. Wonder why that is?
It's the rape isn't it?
Honestly.... I'd avoid it even if they're wasn't any rape... Why would I sign up to be told not to have sex and to serve a bunch of old men... And then be told to smile more.....
Surely the zen of perpetual "resting bitch face" towards men is one of the selling points of being a nun?
He truly is channeling his inner Father Jack Hackett, isn't he. (Relevant part is 30 seconds in, but watch the whole thing because Father Ted was an amazing show.)
NUN! AAAH!
FECK
Is it just me, or has the Pope suddenly and very recently taken a turn into being a very shitty person?
I get that he's always had some problematic views, but he's become more extreme lately. Or at least, that's what the coverage seems to be.
My wife always thought he was bullshitting. The church was trying a rebrand thing. They retired the pope that was in Hitler youth and got the cool 'young' still old pope that is more friendly towards gay people and dogs going to heaven. He never really felt legit to her.
You have to be a shitty person to be a pope. What is this talk about 'suddenly'?
Yeah now that you mention it, the leader of the worlds largest pedophile club has some strange beliefs
What did sorbo say again...?
Has he said anything important since 1999 on scripted television?
I got flung onto the Christian side of Instagram, and I just started posting in defense of the Devil 😂
I wonder if this is a reference to the parable of The Vinegar Tasters
Good people of earth: there is no god.
Gotta rip that band aid off now, otherwise you become a shitty person. It even happened to the pope.as seen here.
What if they are Autistic or have some other reason they struggle to smile?
Hahahahahahahaha
Sorry not laughing at what you're actually saying just the idea they would care
Stop your devil worship
oh no hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
