Unfortunately, I can't say the same. I even pre-date POP1! 
POP1 was specified in RFC 918 (1984), POP2 by RFC 937 (1985). POP3 originated with RFC 1081 (1988).

So I was at the bar last night when the waitress screamed "does anyone know CPR!?"
I said "hell, I know the entire alphabet!"
Everyone laughed...
Well, everyone except this one guy.

Having been in a situation just like that, I don't find this funny.
I was with some of my friends when an older man had a heart attack and collapsed, one waiter yelled out "Does anyone here know CPR?". One guy made that quip, and some laughed, but my friends and I jumped up, raced over and started doing CPR on the older man until Paramedics arrived.
He would have died otherwise. He was celebrating his 95th birthday with his family. He survived the incident and ended up living to 101.
Someone having a heart attack is a very serious and (usually) deadly matter, it is no time nor place for joking around.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Lighten up BA, it was a joke, marked as such. It is only in bad taste because of your personal experience and yes the guy making the quip was a douche because when it happens it is not a joke!

And I agree 100%... with Brinsingr.
Just because it's a joke, and marked as such, it aint funny.

Don't ever go into a hospital staffroom then. The guys and girls that deal with this kind of stuff everyday tell jokes far more scabrous than this!

It's funny because 'C', 'P' and 'R' are 3 letters of the alphabet, and the guys is saying he knows all the letters of the alphabet, not just those 3!
It's a sad world when you have to explain simple jokes to people like you...

From the responses, it looks like we need a moderator of all jokes, an omnipotent one who knows what is funny for all, who'll be PC, take into account all scenarios, religions, ethnicities, etc....bullsh*t, people need to grow an ever so slightly thicker skin and not whine about things so inconsequential as this.

The moderator disapproves of your post!
Then again, I get that people don't find such things funny though.
I didn't enjoy The Hangover. Alcohol destroys lots of lives (although that's not why I didn't like it, it's just not my humor). That one became a mega success though

I get it too, but I don't need to post about it. What is terrible for one is hysterical for another, so what. God Moderator forbid we should be different.
p.s. shouldn't that Moderator.

Yesterday, my gf accidentally left the front door open and one of our cats decided to take a walk. A long walk on what turns out to be the coldest day of the year -- last night, -14F.
Yesterday, the septic backed up. $540 dollars later, we can use the toilet again. Did I say "crappy day?" What a mess to clean up.
Our other cat is throwing up everywhere, time for a vet visit tomorrow and probably another $600.
And the furnace pre-blower sounds like metal on metal, maybe a bearing, maybe something else, but still $$$.
Oil furnaces are sort of useless when it gets this cold. Takes in -14F air and heats it to maybe 50 or 60 degrees. I guess it keeps the pipes from freezing.
So much for any ![Heart | [heart]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/love.gif) today. I feel like joining my cat (running away or throwing up, can't decide which.)

mate, sometimes it seems tough, we miss the forest for the trees though.... you're alive (more or less), you have your health (more or less), you have humour (more or less) .. Im guessing you can still 'put bread on the family table' - so breathe deep, count to 10, 100, 1000, or more if you need, but keep trudging on. You inspire goodness in us 'out here' in CP land, with your work, so dont run away

Yeah, I just have to look at google news to appreciate being alive, roof over my head, employed, food on the table.

That probably won't cheer you up, but it cheered me up.
Despite all your misfortune you made a difference today.
You matter.

I feel your pain man.
In a 2 month span, I ended digging up my front yard (for the 2nd time in 11 years) to replace the sewer line to the street ($3,500), replace the garage door I backed into ($1,000), the side door to the garage that just crumbled and needed to be replaced by a custom steel door ($890), oh, and the air conditioner compressor motor controller EXPLODED necessitating replacement of the entire air con system ($3,700).
All of that put off a desperately needed new roof on the house.
...and the wife was laid off from her job two weeks before Christmas. 60% of our income evaporated.
I HATE 2015.

We heat as much as possible with wood; wood-burning insert with blowers in the fireplace.
Largely, I get the wood for free - much need to cut some of it, split, stack, but, good exercise.

The only detractor to the house we just but was that it doesn't have a fireplace. My gf would have liked one.
BTW, we had a cat sighting today. Turns out he seems to be living in a crawlspace (for him, not for me) under the house. So we set up a couple animal traps (not the killing kind!) -- should have done that sooner! -- and hopefully, after the snow and the rain tomorrow, he'll get hungry. Though I couldn't just let him starve tonight -- it's snowing, tomorrow is going to be raining, so I figure he should at least get a meal tonight.
