Insane Clapping

[Jack Ryan]

I'll tell you what bothers me just as much: our cong has somehow developed the awesome habit of clapping after every single video. 1 minute presentation video? Clapping. Video asking for more donations? Clapping. 1 hour video of Lett making faces? Clapping.

Drives me up the freaking wall.

I think JW's are becoming the "clapping cult"

This has been going on for years. I remember a convention in the 70s that had a GB member visiting. During his talk he could hardly get a word out, never mind a sentence without the whole stadium descending into rapturous applauding.

When the job has been fully accomplished I will tell them to cut it out.

Look at it on the BRIGHT side!

In the old Soviet Union, when Josef Stalin spoke, the audience assembled clapped, and clapped, and clapped and clapped ... until their arms got tired, and their hands got sore .

People were assigned to take names of those who were the first to stop clapping ... and they mysteriously disappeared, never to be seen again.

Of course, their are comedians that we expect to be outrageously funny ... Steve Martin comes to mind ... and their mere stage presence generates laughter.

Perhaps the white suit and arrow through the head shtick helped.

I don't drink alcohol anymore, but when I did, EVERYTHING was funny!  (OH LOOK! ... A WALL! hahahahahaha!)., because I preferred to have a bottle in front of me ... than a frontal lobotomy.
