Yeah - but there are fine lines. All humour is based on observations of differences, of whatever type, between people and situations. There seem to be so many people lining up to be "offended" these days. I'm sure some of these people have a Masters Degree in "being offended".
I'm sure this will offend someone, but that seems to be part of my lot these days...
Yep I totally agreeThat statement is dead nuts on.
The "always offended" are constantly on the prowl in search of having their self-righteous politically correct views violated.
Many expect to be tip-toed around as they believe their views, and feelings, take priority in any social interaction or setting.
I certainly do not go out of my way to prowl outside the boundaries of civility, but I am not sticking my head in the ground to accommodate the "offended ones" resentment stalking.
Walk-away if you are that deeply upset or disturbed, or get a prescription to Growacet.

Sounds like me trying (and failing) to persuade my daughters !Okay, so: A little girl was walking home alone, from school one day, when a big man on a red motorcycle pulls up beside her. After following along for a while , he turns to her and asks. " Hey there little girl , do you want to go for a ride?" "No!" says the little girl as she keeps on walking. The Motorcyclist again pulls up beside her and asks, " Hey little girl, I'll give you ten dollars if you hop on the back". "No!!" says the little girl again as she hurries down the street. The Motorcyclist pulls up beside the little girl again and says, " Okay kid, my last offer! I'll give you 20 bucks "and a big bag of candy, if you will just hop on the back of my bike, and we'll go for a ride." Finally, the little girl stops and turns towards him and screams out........"Look Dad", "You're the one who bought the Honda instead of the Harley...YOU RIDE IT!!
In that case - did you read this one I posted a year ago: Aug 19, 2020Always thought blonde jokes was about gender or race.
Until hearing Boris and Donald jokes.
People today have become soft, you can't say that, can't live without AC, got to drive a auto car can't make jokes about anyone, dob in everyone doing the wrong thing even when its minor, changing names because it offends some etc etc, the goodie two shoes have taken the fun out of life and really I am over it, I am old school and I am not changing for no one, if you can't have a bit of fun and joke around with your mates then things have gone to the pack, where will it end.A woman working the counter at the tool room asked me "how to tell how many years a boilermaker had been in the trade."
I said "no Idea"
She said "bend him over and count the bucket rings on his ass"
I thought it was a good one, as we use 5 gallon buckets to carry small tools and parts, along with being a seat to use while working.
The next day she seemed to be stand offish. I asked her what was up.
Someone from her company turned her in for telling me the joke and she was reprimanded.
Egads, the shit slung back and forth between the trades years ago...........................................
