Guess I'm just an old fart. I've just got up from my aftenoon nap, & I'm always grumpy when I wake up. I'd be a lot grumpier if I only had 1 leg, & Posters on Fora ascross the world thought it was funny. Maybe it's because we don't know her.

Political correctness is a funny thing. One man's taboo is another man's fair game and vice versa.

But it's me out of line with the rest of the world I think, it seems the fashionable thing to do these days. After 9/11, it took 2 days before the text jokes started, same after the cockle pickers disaster at Morecambe. Think, maybe, I need to lighten up sometimes. Then again, maybe not.

i have the name "ironside" from the fact thats what the boys in the pub called me after i ended in chair all this is amongst people that i know and who know me, if someone i had never met called me "crip" or "cripple" even in fun he would be needing medical treatment this is due to the fact the term was being used to belittle me and make them look superior if i knew heather we would proberly poke fun at each other disabilites and there would be no problem (all depends on her take on life) as neither of us would be trying to make the other person looksmaller than the other BUT i dont know heather and feel it would be wrong of me to make a joke about her disabilty. i dont mind any blondite taking the mickey (within reason) about my disabilty (after all its part of me) just as i hope you guys dont mind me taking the mickey out of you. but i would prefer it if we dont take the mickey out of people we dont know just for something that makes them different from anyone else (disabilty or race etc etc) Title: Re: Joke Post by: thetank on May 20, 2006, 07:51:17 PM Fair enough.
Title: Re: Joke Post by: Sark79 on May 20, 2006, 08:05:28 PM I think it is wrong the way many newspapers always comment on the fact Heather Mills has a disability. Why not say Heather Mills the ex-model or business women. That is something that baffles me abit.
It is the same as Oscar Pistorius who is a South African runner in the paralympics. He has no legs, but still manages to set times that place him in able bodied events. But the first question people ask is about his disability. Why not say, how were you able to become such a talented athlete at age 18 and beat older, stronger opponents. Because regardless of his situation, at the end of the day , he is an amazing runner. He is going to try and run the 2008 able bodied olympics Other examples include Alex Zanardi the racing driver who lost his legs in an Indy accident in 2002. He is now back driving and is just as good as before. But the media always report on his physical position before the fact he is one of the finest and bravest Touring Car drivers around . It must be very frustrating to be asked the same questions again and again We live in a crazy world and I fear it will just get worse. I am dreading the time when we are eye scanned and discriminated against due to our genetics.

He takes no crap. Neither should anybody with a disability. I have problems myself but will laugh along with jokes that are clearly in fun, rather than reacting to more serious mocking or abuse, which has gotten me into trouble before... sorry officer, I was provoked. I find the Heather Mills mocking pretty sick, but then *I* would. Should a family member be maimed in a car crash tomorrow, would the same jokes still be funny?

If any of you read the title of the thread it is called "Joke" not "Insult". That means that it is suppposed to be funny not offend. It isn't racist or sexist and it doesnt contain any bad language - that in itself is unusul these days.

You can't censor a sense of humour. Things are either funny or not. It's instinctive. I often laugh at things that can be viewed as cruel or horrible. I don't think this is cos i'm a w***r but jsut because they are funny. Often the funniest things are those closest to the bone. People falling over - funny...boy throws ball into man's testicles....funny....drunk dances like loon at wedding and falls into wedding cake...funny. All of these things caused a small measure of misery for the people involved and around but at the same time, you see them happening you crack up. I love Bill Hicks as a comedian - if u haven't seen him I highly reccomend him. He was always brutally honest in the way he viewed the world meaning he never made it into the mainstream in his lifetime, but the honesty and lack of censorship in his act made him remarkable.

A guy was on the motorway driving at 90mph when he noticed a blue flashing light behind him. He accelerates to 100mph and the car is still flashing behind him. He continues to accelerate to 110mph, 120mph, 130mph and the police finally catch up with him at 140mph. He is pulled over into a lay-by and the policeman says “Did you realise we were following you at 90mph and you continued to accelerate to 140mph before we caught you?” He replied “yes, I saw you in my rear view mirror”. “Then can you explain why you didn’t stop please?” asked the officer. The guy replied “last week my wife ran off with a copper and I thought that you were bringing her back!” Title: Re: Joke Post by: Sunday8pm on May 22, 2006, 12:22:01 PM :)

Also, you should thank your lucky stars that you arent a policeman, they cant help what they are ;) ps. it was a good one :) How about this... An old man was sitting on a bench at the park. A teenager sat down next to him. He had spiked hair that was red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. The old man stared. Whenever the teen looked at the old man, he was staring at him. Finally, the teenager said sarcastically: "What's the matter old man ... never done anything wild in your life?" Without missing a beat the old man replied :" Got drunk once and had sex with a peacock. I was Just wondering if you were my son."

I know a pollice woman who is attached to a RTA unit. One day she attended an incident where the severed head of a young man was found on a railway embankment. She was absolutely horrified, but as she picked it up by the hair, she thought it looked like someone who was wanted in connection with a spate of burgularies. "Does this look like Mr X to you?" she asked her colleague. "No" he replied, deadpan, "He was taller" This joke would never have been made in the presence of the man's relatives, just as the Heather Mills joke was never intended for her to hear. I have to admit that I do find black humour funny sometimes, but I also feel guilty if I am taken to task about it. The truth is, we all have different ideas about what's funny, and what crosses the line. We all have different tabbos depending on our experiences. Like most people, I suppose I'm a bit of a hypocrite. On an open forum, the chances are that you will offend someone.

Title: Re: Joke Post by: Mr F on May 22, 2006, 04:07:13 PM Good post Red. This thread has had me thinking.
My mate had a horrific incident on the weekend. Basically he had been out and was jsut eating some fried chicken and chips when a girl comes up and nicks one from him. Anyway one thing leads to another and she invites him back to hers. They got to the front door and she collapsed and died. Suspected heart attack. he told me yesteray in the pub. I'm surprised he was even there. Thing was the way he dealt with it was by making jokes. I won't put anything on here, but suffice to say I felt a little uncomfortable. But that was his way of dealing with a terrible situation, there was no harm meant by any of the comments any of us made but we had to try and help him in some way. Title: Re: Joke Post by: stallyon on May 22, 2006, 04:16:17 PM Back in the old Wild West, there were two blonde cowboys, Jeff and Dave. One day, the two were enjoying a strong sarsaparilla in the local saloon, when a man walked into the bar with an Indian's head under his arm. The barman shakes his hand and says, "I hate Indians; last week the bastards burnt my barn to the ground, assaulted my wife and killed my children." He then says, "If any man brings me the head of an Indian, I'll give him one thousand dollars." The two blondes looked at each other and walked out of the bar to go hunting for an Indian. They were walking around for a while when suddenly they saw one; Jeff threw a rock which hit the Indian right on the head. The Indian fell off his horse, but landed seventy feet down a ravine. The two nuts made their way down the ravine where Dave pulled out a knife to claim their trophy. Suddenly, Jeff said, "Dave, take a look at this." Dave replied, "Not now, I'm busy." Jeff tugged him on the shoulder and says, "I really think you should look at this." Dave said, "Look, you can see I'm busy. There's a thousand dollars in my hand." But Jeff was adamant. "Please, Dave, take a look at this." So Dave looked up and saw that standing at the top of the ravine were five thousand red Indians. Dave just shook his head and said, "Oh my God! we're going to be millionaires!"
