scothunter 12,609 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 The crux of shocking humour is choosing which company you tell it to ! I'll give you some examples - someone mentioned the cancer joke i posted on my status. My wife is a cancer survivor, and she found the joke 'quite funny' - she didn't split her sides, but she didn't flounce out in a huff either! No sense of humour,her! I know several Madeleine McCann jokes, but I would never have repeated them to her father, when he treated me for a coronary in 2008! Did you have a laugh at the Princess Di, Michael Jackson or Jimmy Savile gags?? I am from a Catholic family (i'm atheist myself), but I know that if I told a joke about the Pope to my sainted Mum, she would probably throw me out of the house. I know there are lots of ex-servicemen on here.Did any of you laugh at Jimmy Carr's line about the paralympic team? Lots of us post 'Paki' jokes - would you (honestly) repeat them to Abdul down at the kebab shop? The whole point is that I am selective in who gets told what, as if they're truthful, is everyone else! If your that selective about your jokes, then you should know when to keep your gob shut.. sorry to hear about your mrs,, you should have more sense then. Read the first line of my post again,mate! There are situations when I think "I know a joke about this", but I don't do it because it would not be appropriate, for whatever reason! I read it the first time jokeboy, your problem is you chose the wrong company matey. bad timing, bad taste, wrong person. If we were all afraid of upsetting someone every time we spoke,,,,,,,,,,,,, Yes blackbriar,, you were away for a while, was it bathtime with mammy,,lol ,,, now thats funny. aye if you are 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neil82 1,080 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Theres only one fookin joke on here boybriar, your joke was about cancer , members on here have lost loved ones to cancer, they do not appreciate your sense of humour. When you grow some hair around your ballbag you might see that..got a 32 year old relative in the last stages now, comes out with some crackers about her condition most days, would rather laff with her than cry 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blackbriar 8,569 Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Let's put aside the likes of Frankie Boyle, Jimmy Carr and Ricky Gervais for a minute. In my experience, a lot of us use 'black comedy' to help us cope with painful or traumatic events. I have been told some of the most 'challenging' paedophile jokes I've ever heard by someone who was horrifically abused as a child - this person laughs out loud at them! I know some great jokes about heart attacks - I had 2 arterial stents fitted, following a heart attack in 2008, when I was only 45! If anyone finds my humour offensive, then I'm truly sorry, not for the joke, but because it's not my intention to set out to upset anyone. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
