Why do we need to include a relatable caption when the original one is funny already?

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Because whoever took the screenshot included it.

That clarifies it. Thanks.

Sometimes jokes build off other jokes

There was the same nonstop excitement there would be during an actual soccer match.

I've heard this story before, but never registered the date: December 25th, 1937. Having played in Boxing Day rugby matches, and considering holiday "sport" matches in general I'm going to make a couple reasonably informed guesses. 1) The goalie was drunk. Quite drunk. Everyone was drunk. 2) Everyone was still on the field ... drinking, the goalie just didn't realise they weren't playing any more because he couldn't see them.

It took him a while to realize this.

That news header and picture is actually more hilarious than the comment. 😂

I can't help but wonder how many extra minutes the photographer was taking to take the best picture before telling the poor guy. 😂

Edit: Until I noticed the topic only after posting this. 😂
