stripes 401 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blackbriar 8,569 Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Look, I'm sure very few people actually consider it acceptable to tell any joke anywhere to anyone. The social circumstance dictates whether it's acceptable, who's telling the joke and who will be receiving it. Personally I don't find jokes about kids coming to harm funny at all other than ones in a very vague sense such as the common jokes and sayings like "sweating like gary glitter in an orphanage" etc. A joke about maddy or that little boy or anything else more specific would be well off limits but then others may see the humour in it. But if anybody really does believe anything goes anywhere and to f**k with those that it offends, crack on into a bar in Plymouth and blast out ya best about Marines being killed. See if that's considered acceptable amongst the local bootnecks...... or a fat girls pussy....................or your Mum when I come over for tea...... Or Shannon Matthews in the wardrobe... Too Far? Not at all - I'll bet she was probably as stiff as Jimmy Savile at a Scout convention ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
