    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?

        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]

            The respondent reponded where he should have. I really don't care either way.

              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.

                      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?'

                            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)

                              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.

                                    So all the jokes about Catholic priests are OK then? What about all the honest & decent ones? Do they have a voice? Keep you calculater to evaluate the cost of a humour implant! :-D

                                        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)

                                          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.
