My question was rhetorical. Therefore, it needs no explanation. "Bannerising" jokes is just stupid. Why can't people see that?
Why do people put a laughing emoji at the end of their so called jokes. Obviously the joke was a failure on every conceivable level & they were trying to perform some sort of divine resurrection. It's not going to happen,... it's dead, HDQ (hung drawn & quartered), buried, cremated... at the very least.
Use your brain & aim for actual memorable jokes.

Looks like the Jokes section is slowly becoming a Debate section.
Gotta have some humour to keep us going.
If it doesn't suit you, scroll on.

Saw this on another forum.
The essence of a joke is in the words. The joke isn't any funnier if the words are "bannerised" into a picture, or encapsulated in an MS DOC file. The text may occupy 100 bytes, but a JPEG or DOC might occupy 30KB. All you are doing is pushing more electrons around the Internet.
Here endeth my rant.

I agree totally with that guy. It seems that great minds really do think alike.
G'day Barney, I wonder if it refers to one particular modern day leader???
Albo thinks he is president ....
