My coffee's got a blank space, baby...

[Asper]

I like my Brezels how i like to take Table's jokes: With a grain of salt.

[Witherweaver]

I thought it was "not spoiled", since the black bar doesn't go away.

[Kuildeous]

Naked with a black bar covering the naughties? Can't argue with that.

[pacovf]

Yes you can.

It's better without the black bar.

[Witherweaver]

Yes you can.

It's better without the black bar.

Depends on the ... board.

[soulnet]

Yes you can.

It's better without the black bar.

Well, maybe your will power is enough to argue when facing someone only covered by a couple of black bars and Kuildeous is not. I am more like him: in that situation, I assume I would be too aroused or appalled to argue.

Out of context material right here. Be the first to take advantage!

I'm loving the interpretations of that joke. Since it wasn't entirely clear, I'll now explain it. The reason I'm going to do that is that it will make it funnier, as I have explained why it was funny in the first place. The spoiler was representing the colour black. I was saying I like my coffee black, which is a kind of coffee, and I also like my people black. In other words I was saying I like black people. This is quite an old joke, which is what the format of joke was based on, and therefore this was a funny cryptic joke to make.

I hope my explanation is clear to all of you. I for one don't understand what I just typed.

Also a valid interpretation:

"I like my coffee like I like my people: Rectangular"

Or polygonal.

I like my coffe like I like my people: with multiple equally valid interpretations.

Booya. Also scout.

I like my Brezels how i like to take Table's jokes: With a grain of salt.

I'm just now realizing that this maybe doesn't quite mean what i intended to say. I made sure before to check the german translation and was pretty certain that "take with a grain of salt" could mean "don't take too serious". Checking again today i realized it's probably(?) more of a "take it with a skeptical attitude".

So, while i don't always agree with Tables, it wasn' t my intent to inopportunely say "Tables' jokes are mean if you look close enough". Sorry if it came along like that.

If i got the translation right and nobody upvoted it simply because you thought it wasn't funny, i can live with that. But it's tough... 

Why even visit American websites if you can't speak American?

It could also be that nobody knew what brezels are.  I thought it was a typo for "pretzel", though apparently it's German!

Huh, that didn't even occur to me. I always thought people pronouncing it "pretzel" just had a hard time pronouncing "Brezel". I didn't even know it was written differently in english O__o

I thought it a clever joke. I didn't know what a Brezel was, but I figured out from the context that it's something that can be salted for additional flavor (true for most foods).

But I don't upvote everything I laugh at, so you'll have to be content with the knowledge that it made people laugh even if it doesn't have a lot of upvotes. I don't post for the upvotes. I post because I'm brilliant and wish to share that brilliance with the rest of you.

Both meanings for "take with a grain of salt" are fine.

Welcome to the English language, where the words are made up and the rules don't matter.

Which "English" language are you referring to? British? Canadian? Irish? Southern? Merriam-Webster? Politically-Correct?

In practice, these can be as different as Spanish-Portugese-Italian.

I think the language is not the only thing that works that way in the US.

Which Spanish? Which Portuguese? Which Italian?

The three that walked into a bar?

This is just so spot on.

I upvoted the post.

Here is an additional +1.

Evariste Galois was not only a mathematical genius but also a dedicated revolutionary. Ironically, he proved that many problems cannot be solved by radicals.

I'll admit I didn't come up with that joke, but I think it is brilliant.
