Now, somebody go look up "alterior", and let the rest of us know what
they are talking about.

"alterior" clearly shows a jackass, in the form for those who can't
read.

I don't think so...

CWM clearly meant "ulterior motive", I'm sure...

Time to reload there LP. I'll explain it to you since the pictures weren't
enough. The website referenced is for common misspellings or misuse of
words. The word "alterior" was shown to be a frequently incorrent usage
for
"ulterior". Next to the word "alterior" was a picture of a jackass. Now
for
the hard part. A few threads back CWM and Bluto were referenced to be
jackasses by Maxipad. CWM was said to have alterior motives by Bluto. CWM
correctly called Bluto on its usage. I stepped in (now concentrate here,
this is the punchline part) and showed that by picture definition
"alterior"
had a jackass next to it. This would indicate "jackass motives" in the
previously mentioned threads. Though the humor is convoluted, it is also
the
timing here. Where would one possible find a picture of a jackass
associated
with the word "alterior"? So, you see, the convolution and unexpected
outcome produce a subtle, witty form of humor (that means it is funny -
hahahaha!). You may not find it funny or even understandable but rest
assured there is someone on this planet who does. I know that one didn't
fly
past Katy.


Once you have to explain a joke, it is no longer humorous.

CWM

Absolutely. Consider that the explainee found no humor found in the first
place.
