Humor in fencing (lack thereof)

[Silenius]

I noticed that there is a severe lack of humor when it comes to the sprot of fencing. Searching google came up with three things. Every site had either a copy or a link to "why fencing is better than sex", "fencer's dictionary" or "characteristcs of each type of fencer".

This is really sad. Even FencingSucks.com has almost nothing to offer. apparently we are a completely humorless lot. We need some jokes here. Anyone got anything original?

Just go to the Watercooler and you should find plenty. Anything posted by a saberist is usually good for a laugh!

Fencers in Ontario seem to have great senses of humour...there's almost never a night where we don't laugh a lot at my club.

A massive semi-trailer is speeding toward three fencers, one foilist, one sabreur and one epeeist honking it's horn to signal them to move.

The sabreur shouts "HONK AT ME WILL YA! I'LL SHOW YOU!" and runs straight at it swinging his weapon.

The foilist tries to parry it out of the way.

The epeeist waits until it's about to hit him before poking its wheels.

They all end up dead.

Now if that high-class off the top of my head witty as all hell joke doesn't change your mind on fencing humour nothing will!

Disagree.

They tried to have humor in foil, but they kept double lighting, no laugh awarded.

"A man in a bar walks up to the bartender and bets him $100 dollars that he can pee across the room in to a tin cup. 'You're on' replies the bartender. As the man unzipe and lets fly, it is evident that his capable of hitting everything but the tin cup; he gets the floor, the walls, the stool, and even the bartender himself, but not a drop in the cup. Upon paying the joyous bartender, the man also smiles and even laughs. 'You're quite happy for a man who just lost $100' the bartender says. To which the man replied, 'I may have lost $100 to you, but I bet that man over there $500 that I can pee on you and get you to smile about it.'" THE END

Awww...just because there isn't much readily available, doesn't mean there's a lack of humor in the fencing community. Some of it is inside jokes, whether it be by division or club. Fencers, in general, are lots of fun to hang out with (but I'm incredibly biased).

[Silenius]

Yeah, I realize that we fencers arent actually humorless. I was just complaining that theres a severe derth of fencing jokes. I wanted to hear some.

[davtsung]

True humor lies in my fencing as I can safely attest to reaching new comic heights that have bewildered critics, coaches and baboons alike. I knock them all dead what with my open-6-stance and untimely balestra's against point-in-lines.

will someone please point me in the direction of a large number of quality jokes based solely on the concept of baseball?

mind you, not about the people who play or whatever, on the sport itself since its what we seem to be asking about.

i can think of only one good joke about baseball, really.

[HillBilly]

my fencing's pretty comical.
