Subject: RE: BS: Joke Thread for 2022 From: Donuel Date: 30 Jul 22 - 10:24 AM 2 Mudcat safety rules for jokes: 1. Show respect for your nation, corporation, gender and family. 2. Do Not Offend, anybody including company, boss or authority. Keep in mind, too, that social media is not a place to share complaints. I recently saw a tweet from someone who “spent 15 years in soul-sucking Big Pharma.” Future employers or clients would likely pass on that individual, even if he or she had a perfectly good reason for having that sentiment. The fact is that every word about an employer should be positive, even in casual environments like social media or a networking happy hour–it’s just the more cowardly strategic move. Do not offend. If a joke is about dogs, cats, crumpets and butter you are on safe ground. You already know it’s important to be a team player, which means speaking respectfully to your colleagues. But it’s sometimes difficult to put that knowledge into practice, especially the more familiar and casual your team becomes. If you get a laugh at someone’s expense, you’re already on dangerous terrain. UK Exceptions: Jokes about genitals, wives, husbands, age, other religions, other philosophies, other races and nations. |

Subject: RE: BS: Joke Thread for 2022 From: Steve Shaw Date: 30 Jul 22 - 11:42 AM I went to buy a watch, and the man in the shop said ‘Analogue?’ I said ‘No, just a watch.' I was having dinner with my boss and his wife said, ‘How many potatoes would you like, Steve?' I said diffidently, 'Ooh, I’ll just have one please.’ She said, ‘It’s OK, you don’t have to be polite.’ ‘All right,’ I said, ‘I’ll just have one then, you stupid cow.’ |

"I don't know dear. Maybe we should ask Daddy". "Daddy told me to stay in the garden, while they went upstairs" continued the little girl. Her father started to explain but his wife cut him off. "Save your explanations for my lawyer. "Carry on dear". "I went upstairs and looked through the keyhole. They both got undressed and got in to bed". "And then?" Asked Mum. "And then they both did what you and Uncle Derrick did when Daddy was away". DC |

Subject: RE: BS: Joke Thread for 2022 From: An Buachaill Caol Dubh Date: 01 Aug 22 - 05:48 PM I suspect that if The Big Yin were to tell that joke today, he'd soon be following it with something like, "Cancelled?!!! F###in' "Cancelled"! Nivvurr wurrk again? Ach, f### it onywey. Ah kidnae care less - Ah'm f###in' loaded." The man himself certainly considers the last phrase an adequate punchline, since he's used it so often. People do laugh. |

Subject: RE: BS: Joke Thread for 2022 From: WalkaboutsVerse Date: 03 Aug 22 - 11:33 AM Recalling an advert from my youth in Sydney, Australia: With a couple of couples about to go away for the weekend, the gents are piling-up the back of a ute/coupé utility with tinnies (cans of Foster's Lager, maybe) when one of them considerately says something like: "Suppose we better add a bottle of sherry for the ladies, mate" - upon which the whole thing collapses, of course, and the other one says "Looks like we overdone it with the sherry, mate". (Better, maybe, when I've said it at a pub, with a broad accent, and everyone having had a few.) |

Subject: RE: BS: Joke Thread for 2022 From: HuwG Date: 10 Aug 22 - 07:02 PM A sort of Jewish one I heard (from Rabbi Lionel Blum) many years ago... A river breaks its banks. A man is cut off in his house and retreats to his upper floor. Nevertheless, he has faith that God will save him. Another man drives through the floodwater in a tractor. "Jump on the back" he shouts. "I'll get you to safety". "No", replies the man. "I trust in God to save me." The waters rise higher. The man is forced to climb onto his roof. A boat motors up. "Jump in!" shouts the man in the boat. "I'll get you to safety." "No", replies the man. "I trust in the lord to save me." The waters rise higher still. The man is clinging to his chimney pot. A helicopter appears overhead, dangling a rope ladder. "Grab the ladder!" shouts the pilot. "I'll get you to safety." "No thanks!" says the man. "I rely on God to save me." The helicopter flies away. The waters still rise, the man is washed away and drowns. He appears at the pearly gates, furious. Saint Peter is surprised to see him. "I wasn't expecting you" he says. "I know you trusted in God to save you, so He sent you a tractor, then He sent you a boat, then He sent a helicopter..." |

Approaching the destination airport, a voice over the intercom asks, Will the lawyer who gave me crabs in New Orleans please raise your hand? Nobody did, so she took the crabs home and ate them. Goes to show you can't trust stereotypes. |

Subject: RE: BS: Joke Thread for 2022 From: An Buachaill Caol Dubh Date: 14 Aug 22 - 12:36 PM There was a brief period in the 1980s, in Britain at least, when "Blonde Jokes" enjoyed a certain vogue, especially among young women with hair of a different colour. They did rely upon stereotyping. This would be representative: "How do you make a Blonde's eyes light up?" "Shine a torch in her ear." |

Subject: RE: BS: Joke Thread for 2022 From: Donuel Date: 22 Aug 22 - 05:05 PM I know the Bible isn't everyone's favorite joke book but my tweaked pov makes me laugh at God's antics as written in the Bible. Nor is this a joke. For example; God drowned people, plants and animals when he made it rain for 40 days and nights - EXCEPT - for Noah&family along with his boatload of animals without plumbing. After the great flood, God told Noah that he felt kinda bad over the whole mass killing thing and the smell so to make up for it, he created the 'rainbow' to cheer up Noah. ha ha The whole Bible is full of what a giant asshole God is, at least from my POV. The Bible is hilarious if you don't buy into the vengeful God fearing thing. By the time God Inc. wrote the new testament many of the best jokes were lost. Thats why Jews still make good comedians. From the old testament, they know what a giant asshole God can be. |

Subject: RE: BS: Joke Thread for 2022 From: Donuel Date: 25 Aug 22 - 08:37 PM I am personally glad ifmy remarks about the totalitarian supernatural man made nonsense in the old and new Testament offends. Christian nationalism is offensive to me. ................................. What do you get when you cross a Unitarian with a Mormon? A person who knocks on your door for no particular reason. Why was the Amish girl excommunicated? Too Mennonite. Christians in church are called a flock because they are shorn before they are eaten. Christians have more proslitutes than Jews. Trump needs a podium because if he can't be erect at least he can be upright. Murder, rape, perjury, theft, extortion. 4 out of five is not bad for Trump. Putin gets a perfect 5 Truisms: Thomas Jefferson wrote there should always be a wall between Religion and politics in America. America, build that wall ! America is a land of freedom provided you can buy every single right, license, fee or property for yourself. Religion often defends itself by saying that it is providing society with social utility, I say water, electricity and sewerage are at least true utilities. SCROTUS* has kicked the GOP in the balls with their removal of female health rights. *Supreme Court Republicans of the United States. Trump on illegal immigrants; Speaking English was good enough for Jesus, its good enough for me. |
