Not catching something intended by my posts or Flower's, that is a Whiff. Missing something in yours merely means em was probably able to get dates in high school.

You're right. I'm just jealous. I was not even familiar with the euphemism "post-paycheck." Most of my friends are still just "paycheck." 99 percenters. Losers, like me.

See, I think the term is getting too watered down. Diluted, if you will. I reserve the term for situations in which a poster makes a particular joke and looks expectantly at the crowd for approval, not realizing that the exact same specific joke was embedded in the post to which they’re responding. It’s not simply “missing something”; that happens every day. We need to get back to the canonical whiff. There is only one type, and all other forms of Not Catching The Joke are not noteworthy enough even to be given a name.

Some airlines, including United, have changed the carry-on rules so that they no longer work on a sum of the height, length and width, but rather have a maximum of each. Accordingly, my carry-on is no longer compliant. Since I only board in Group 1, this has not been an issue yet.

Swiss and Lufthansa sometimes enforce a 8 kg limit on carry-on bags. That is a pain in the ass. Not sure where they find the stickler Germanic types to work the desk at SFO, but they do.

Hold on, I thought I realized that the exact same joke was embedded in your post, and that my response post was serving to build on and underscore that joke. That does not sound like your definition of a canonical whiff. That sounds more like . . . wait a fucking second, what the fucking hell is wrong with me. Am I actually having a conversation about whether an anonymous post I made on a lawyer chatting board is a whiff? Did I actually adopt and use the term "canonical whiff"? What the fuck has gone wrong with my life? I was supposed to be post-paycheck by now, fucking hot secretaries whom I hired to drive cases of single malt scotch and other comforts of home to vacation spots thinly-disguised as meetings on high profile regarding pro bono cases I dabbled in when not attending society fundraisers as favors to celebrity friends. This post is the EXACT OPPOSITE of how things were supposed to go. This whole fucking chatting board is THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF HOW THINGS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE.

My dad’s best friend and law partner used to joke about how their lives were exactly as they should be. Of course, dad went back into public service, while John moved their formerly shared practice into defending 49ers in their DV and DUI cases, so dad took out loans for college while John bought vacation homes and ski boats, so the joke started to wear a little thin. And then one day we got a call that John had choked to death having an anaphylactic reaction to something; we’re still not sure what. Could’ve been anything; allergies are weird like that. What I’m saying is buck up, little camper; sometimes the single malt is the thing that kills you.

Did I mention that I found an Indian single malt whiskey the other? Not as good as the Japanese, but still quite an interesting taste.
