masterrig 1 #52 March 14, 2013 Quote Quote That's true! I recall a time, way back in my youth, when ethnic jokes were quite common. We told them to those of various ethnicities and religous background... no big deal. We threw verbal jabs at one another knowing there was nothing behind them more than a big outburst of laughter. Even from who the joke was pointed at. Just try that today and you'll get your ass kicked! Chuck As long as you do it with friends and they know you're just having light-hearted fun with them and expect the same from them, it's all good. Them's the rules! I don't see it among 'friends', anymore. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rushmc 18 #57 March 14, 2013 Quote Quote Several years ago, I upset a lady I worked with who is very much Baptist. I said that at the recent Baptist conference, they decided that Baptists would be allowed to recognise each other at the lliquor store. That was back before 'PC'. Chuck Yep, ethnic jokes are funny to everyone, unless it's about them. Then it's in bad taste.

The lady I said that to is devout Baptist and we were able to kid around. She would come-up with some of the craziest Catholic stuff. I was raised Catholic. Just good fun.
