Whenever I see the following line as someone's signature, my contempt for that person is so great I can almost taste it:
"Never trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn't die."
Why? Because you're scared of it? Because you know it's tougher than you, that perhaps it'll outlast pain and deprivation longer than you? Supporting distrust of something that is a natural process of nature is disgusting. It's not funny. It's not clever. It just makes it clear how much of an uneducated, red-necked, f*cking moron you are.

I think what irritates me most is not the line itself, but people using it, thinking that it's funny and/or clever.
Then, you mentioned signatures. I agree, it is stupid to use it in a signature. It is just an offensive statement apropos of nothing, with nothing that enhances or warrants it.
One rule of being funny: the topic or joke has to be relevant.
Honestly, I despise it when people try to be funny by using other people's material, and then do it wrong.
