goose491 0 #79 January 30, 2003 You're not the minority. Jokes come at the expense of others. We poke fun at the differences and misfourtunes of others. Unfortunatly, there are some that think there are groups of people that should be immune to this because of the shape/size of said misfurtunes. I say B.S.! Nobody is immune! A lesson in humility please! Everyone will be the butt of a joke at some point in time... Blacks, Whites, Orientals, Jews (yes the ones that dies in concentration camps too), gays, straights (Ooops, I mean not-gays), fat people, skinny people (No! not skinny people!... my parents were skinny people!!!)... LOL.... No, I mean it LAUGH OUT LOUD!!! My Karma ran over my Dogma!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blewaway5 0 #83 January 30, 2003 Like someone said earlier, "humor as an occasional way for some people to make very hurtful things tolerable." Of course, I'd put it a little different. I'd have to say that if you can't laugh at a situation then you've allowed that situation to have power over you. But then again, there are some common sense things that should be prevalent in your joke telling. If you're having dinner with Louis Farrakan (sp?) you probably shouldn't joke about watermelons. If you're having dinner with a devout Catholic it's probably best not to bring up the fact that the pope has actually been dead for 5 years and is in all actuallity simply being operated by some cardinals who stuck that remote control unit up his ass. If you're talking to Jerry Falwell, maybe you shouldn't bring up how your lesbian friend thought she wanted a baby so she was artificially insiminated but then she changed her mind and got an abortion. My point is, people, we all use humor everyday to deal with difficult issues we have to face. The moment we lose our ability to laugh at the screwed up things in our lives we will have lost one of our most important human characteristics. Soooo, next time you get pissed off over something as irrelevant as a joke, go look in a mirror and start laughing at youself for being so damned sensitive. It might be the funniest thing you see all day. Truman Sparks for President Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jceman 1 #86 January 31, 2003 I can't see it all that well, but it looks like it may well be Der Tottenkopf? Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jraf 0 #87 January 31, 2003 WRONG ANSWER!!! Black steel helmet with the SS run signs on the side...analyze, research...respond. Totenkopf was a Waffen SS regiment.

TheBile 0 #88 January 31, 2003 Just like beauty is in the eye of the beholder, a joke is in the eyes of the reader. By that I mean that the interpretation of a joke doesn't come from the source but from the recipient. It's a judgement on their part as to whether or not it was intended as a joke to make people laugh, or intended as an insult to the subject matter used in the joke.Gerb I stir feelings in others they themselves don't understand.
