Exactly and also this joke is not kid sister safe.

What?! The punchline has a double meaning. If one's kid sister does NOT know the alternative meaning then it is safe. If one's kid sister DOES know the alternative meaning then any safety restriction in place isn't going to matter much the damage was done before now.

The joke is complete. You need to have a fairly good grasp of English to get it though.

Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess is why several of us died of tuberculosis. I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

Exactly.

No man there is third line in this joke. In that the kid sister is not safe. So he has stopped it with the two lines.

Seeing as this sort of humor is common n many-many family shows and would not be caught onto by kid sisters I reckon it is appropriate. Other then that, :laugh:.

Oh stop with the kid sister crap: it's wearing really thin especially as any kid sister worth her salt wouldn't understand this anyway and, if she does understand it she's no longer a kid.

Then please enlighten those of us that see the joke as already complete. I'm just glad I've seen it first in its incomplete form so as not to have it ruined.

Actually - there are only two lines. That's the whole point of the joke, and demands a graps of the subtle intricacies of the language and how the same sentence can have two meanings.

Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

I disagree with that reasoning. Things like nudity (pics, links) and profanity are banned in the Lounge too - but since kids would already understand them to be profanity/nudity, then any safety restriction in place isn't going to matter much since the damage was done before now!

No, there's no third line. If you want to be pedantic you could say that, since the final line has two meanings it could count as lines 2 and 3 all on it's own. But that'd be silly. FWIW, I've heard jokes one hell of a lot more explicit and obvious than this on shows like The Simspsons. IMHO totally kid sister safe, and apparently safe to those who aren't entirely aware of some of the nuances of the English language (",) Dave

I'll be the pretend 'kid sister', 'cause I'm possibly the youngest person here. :cool: It's not really a rude joke. It's pretty funny just how short it is, but there's no need to get all bothered about it.

LOL - you don't count as a "kid anything" since you are Aussie. You guys swear and make dirty jokes right from infancy, don't you? :rolleyes:

Oh, I'm hurt that you'd think that! Although I guess you have a point. ;P Ever hear the one about the hillbilly newlyweds?

That was actually funny. I do not understand why people here will whine so much over a joke.
