Today at work this man and woman were checking out. the wife was trying to pay for the items in cash but the husband didn't want her to use her cash and he was going to pay with his card.
He said "no. put it back. i'll break both your arms and legs."
it wasn't obvious that he was joking but for the sake of being in public i think he had a more joking tone in his voice. then he said something else and ended with "i'll beat you up." the woman looked at me and smiled and i smiled back and shrugged.
I knew it was funny and intended as a joke because of the "i'll beat you up statement". That, honestly, is one of my favorite sentences. Who says "i'll beat you up" and is seriously trying to be threatening?!!? no one. unless they're a dumb ass which makes it funny anyway.
It was interesting to see someone other than my dad use that kind of humor in public. as well as that person not being a fucking weirdo like i've seen done before. I don't know that man at all but in comparison to the last person who tried those jokes, he seemed pretty damn normal.
It's also a little refreshing in a way. Insults and empty threats are a couple of my top favorite types of humor.
