What dead horse am I flogging.

I was making a joke and it obviously wasn't what you lot thought.

I'll explain.

Among my circle of friends, if a chick is refered to as 'popular' it usually means she's easy. Of course, we know this is not the case with Dana - hence the quote marks - but I got a laugh out of it for myself. It's not said in a hurtful way and isn't meant to be insulting in any way. In fact, it just became a joke when we used to go to the pub and some bloke would buy one of us a drink. We'd usually turn around and say something like, "well aren't you popular" with an understood emphasis on the popular.

Anyway, it's always lovely to have to explain humour. Hope you've all gotten something out of it today.
