That's not the joke. @fresh_42 posted a link to Facebook which your browser is not displaying.
Yes, I knew that. My response was intended as a joke in itself. But I obviously failed.

I wondered if that was the case.

I'm not really a fan of videos, it was more a test of PF5 than a joke, although it is funny, or sad.

I admire medical people. Especially brain surgeons. You have to take your hat off to them.

Whoever has the Voodoo doll of me, can you please scratch my butt?

Thanks, I'm in a public place right now and cannot do it myself.

I wonder whose idea of a lame joke it was to put this pillar right in, and blocking, one of the sidewalks leading up to our college’s admissions office.

No, it's a clever device to stop moronic pests reaching the admissions office. I think I'll install one of those on my front pathway too.

[Edit:] Or maybe it's to give students some practice with the essential skill of repeatedly banging one's head against brick walls?

I know this works in GB, not sure about the states, but everywhere else in Europe it would just ruin the lawn.

@Bystander @fresh_42 I know. But that is not the 'this etymology' I was referring to, as you can readily see by comparing your own links to what @Klystron posted. I don't feel too comfortable with my Latin, since it's been a while since I took it (and only a semester), so I'd be happy to learn that there is a 'mate' verb that means 'kill, murder', or that the word 'deci' means 'tenth' (as opposed to e.g. 'decimus').
I will start being careful when someone calls me 'mate' from now on.

Mate is really good, you should try it. I prefer the smoked variant.
(And yes, I do not like that English doesn't provide a distinction between geräuchert and geraucht. So no jokes please, it is not my fault that English has a gap here.)

What a dreadful night. I dreamt something bit me on the neck.

I even got up to check, but the mirror's not working.

Do you know why they never tortured Bilbo Baggins? A bad Hobbit is hard to break.
