Oh my god, this sign cannot take a joke, being made fun of or criticised, seriously.



well it depends. From my experience so far....

my aries sister who is dominant over 60% water, cannot take a joke at all. She gets really upset and angry and start getting super emotional and cry alot. I really have to feel her out and her moods before any joking embarkment happens. Honestly. good thing her husband is very sensitive too.

i knew a couple of aries sun men, dominant earth and they are the jokesters. They will joke and poke and if you're like my sister, she won't take it!! You really have to feel out her mood. then you can proceed.

i notice too, sag sister can't take jokes either. She'll get super quiet and upset, then tell you later if she is really disappointed in the joke that you embarked on. You have to feel her out too, and what type of joke. Not every joke is tasteful you know. It depends on the TYPE of jokes. Anything disgusting, tasteless, like jokes of old people falling down and stuff like that is really tasteless.

I have lots of Earth in me, and a fair amount of water. The easy banner is just that, easy banner. I am surprisingly thick skinned and resilient, but I do find that I am hiding a fair amount of hurt off and on.

It also depends a great deal on the person doing the "joking." If I like and trust you (ie. we have some sort of personal understanding), you can get away with anything. Context is very, very important, you see.

I tend to blow right through most sarcasm. I find that the ability of most people to be "sarcastic" is pretty limited.

Example, I started a new job. I saw a couple of TV controls sitting at the main desk. "Huh, what are those for?" I asked. "For TV's!" was the sarcastic response. So, lessee, there were dozens of TV's in the place, some public, some private, some used for educational matters, some for on and on and on. OK, they are "TV controls," but which TV/TV's? My point being "TV controls" was a pretty stupid and less than insightful remark to make. What I thought, but didn't say was "Must be a graduate from the University of DUH!"
