Why am I not surprised

So if your intention was to cause no offence, why didn't you just shrug it off, instead of highlighting it here? :rolleyes: [edit] stupid spelling mistake. I'm good at those. [/edit]

Sorry, red rag to a bull! P.S I think that comment should have been put to the respondant...

I was told a funny joke yesterday by my girlfriend, yes my girlfriend!!! (But that is not the joke!) I considered posting it in the Lounge, but thought better of it. As I have no wish to offend others. So I placed it in the SoapBox 2.0, but I was not surprised, when I got a response like this[^] Is this ironic? or is it just me?
No surprise..... I wish my wife could come away with jokes like that sometimes.........she doesn't understand humour sometimes most of the time, and see if you ever sit and watch programs like 'Have I got News For You' or 'Mock the week' etc. she's lost. Her brain has been wrecked by too many cooking programs, and having kids.

Just because you've given your hand a name and you have a healthy carnal appetite towards it and even if you wine it and dine and remember anniversaries (yet it doesn't!) doesn't qualify it to be called your girlfriend, man! :-D Unless you're CSS of course, then anything is possible...

I gave this a 5 just because of the mental picture of a hand with eyeballs painted on it going to a restaurant and it getting flowers with a shocked "o" face.
If I have accidentally said something witty, smart, or correct, it is purely by mistake and I apologize for it.

It takes a lot more than that to trigger her 'kill mode'. 15 years of offshore type sarcasm, comments etc. have desensitised her. Even crawling in at 5am from the casino doesn't provoke a reaction any more. I don't even know what time i got home last night from a night out, the only comment this morning was 'day of recovery is it?'

You told a joke whose sole purpose was to insult immigrants, and an immigrant found it offensive. I'm not sure why the math is difficult for you to work out on this one but hey, you're welcome to borrow my calculator if it will help.

Not as long as they're just girlfriends and not wives.. (so it's actually allowed! you could even have a third girlfriend! though I'm not sure what that would be)

Three dishonorable stinking religious figures of different faiths walk into a bar full of various ignorant minorities..... Fire, have some gas. :rolleyes:
A priest, a rabbi and a guru walk into a bar. The bartender looks at them and says, "What is this, a joke?" :)

I'm not saying that you should restrict your jokes, only that you look quite silly when you're surprised that the object of your ridicule finds it offensive. If you'd told a joke to insult Catholic priests and one of them found it offensive, I wouldn't care one way or another about their voice, but I'd certainly poke you in the ribs if you expressed amazement that they did. And I think history will show quite clearly that I have no sense of humor whatsoever. None at all. ;P [edit] The 1 wasn't from me. I'd rather poke fun at you in public. :) [/edit]
