A container full of 250,000 Man city shirts was returned by the people of Haiti with a note........."we have no homes, no food, no water but we still have our dignity".

Dr. Phil was conducting a therapy session with four young mothers and their small children.

"You all have obsessions" he observed.

To the first mother he said: "You are so obsessed with eating you've even named your daughter Candy."

He turned to the second mom: "Your obsession is money. Again, it manifests itself in your child's name, Penny."

He turns to the third mom: "Your obsession is alcohol. This, too, manifests itself in your child's name, Brandy."

At this point, the fourth mother gets up, takes her little boy by the hand and whispers: "Come on Dick, we're leaving."

No funny at all. By the way the word eskimo is a derogatory term to a person of Inuit heritage.

Rug..The clue is in the title, this section is for JOKES therefore a sense of humour is needed.

Indeed. For what it's worth (and that's ... er, Jack ****) I rarely, if ever, even glance at the Jokes thread myself. But, as they say, each to their own.

However, I also don't have much truck with people who take offence so readily. The way things are in the UK (for example), every time a person says anything they're sure to offend somebody from some "community", "special" (pressure) group or other.

To which I say ... if you don't like it, then keep away (or words to that effect)!

Or, put another way, no-one gives a damn about offending old, white, ex-army, opinionated etc., etc., Englishmen of Anglo-Saxon heritage such as myself. So what's so special about them? Answer ... nothing at all - they're just trying it on. And the trouble is that (in England at least) we let them get away with it.

Thin ends of wedges, inches and yards etc. come to mind.

Free speech is just that! We don't want Thought Police.

And (lastly) remember that this forum is moderated, and Mr.Huw is (usually) very fair about it all, in my experience.

I just do not find anything funny about the tasteless joke.
It is just my opinion for what it is worth.

To be honest, I share your taste. But that's why (as I say), I don't generally bother looking at the so-called "jokes".

But let's not argue.

And don't worry, but rest assured that your opinion is considered to be worth no less (or indeed, no more) than mine, or anybody else's.

If "one" is offended by stereotypes in jokes....... just be thankful you aren't Irish !

Locals are said to be in a state of shock after police found a stash of guns behind the library in Derry yesterday. A spokesman said 'The people of Derry had no idea they had a library'

Brilliant !! and right on target (my old home town !)
