Relax! Not demeaning to Ladies nor even Women!
Scotland’s First Minister was visiting an Edinburgh hospital and enters a ward full of patients with no sign of illness or injury and greets one.
The patient replies;
“Tae fair your honest sonsie face,
Great chieftain of the puddin race,
Aboon them a’ you take your place,
Painch, tripe or thairm,
As lang’s my airm”
The Minister is confused and moves on to the next patient and says hello..
The patient responds:
“Some hae meat and canna eat,
And some wad eat that want it,
But we hae meat and we can eat,
So let the Lord be thankit”
Even more confused, the Minister moves on to the next patient who immediately begins to chant;
“We sleekit, cowerin, timorous beasty
Thou needna start awa sae hastie,
Wi’ bickerin brattle”
The Minister turns to the accompanying doctor and asks
“What kind of facility is this? A mental ward?
“No” replies the doctor, the serious BURNS unit” - `

Perhaps you should stay off them then ?
Perhaps you could stop posting racist ‘jokes’
Perhaps you should post a joke susiewoozie or perhaps going by your posts you don't know any lol.
Sorry Rufus for causing problems on your thread I won't post anymore.

<sigh>
Susiewoozie Sorry if you feel demeaned!
Rest assured; some of my best GN friends are Scots whom I wouldn't dare bash!
Perhaps the following is more your style!
Comes courtesy of "The Oldie" mag. Full of good jokes and serious articles on a host of topics. I believe they are currently selling cheap copies to those in need.
A university lecturer is giving a talk on language.
"The funny thing is, we all know about double negatives that are positives – like 'I didn't say I wouldn't do it'," the lecturer says. "But I've never, in 40 years, come across a double positive with a negative meaning."
And a bright student in the audience said, "Yeah, yeah."

If you’d read the thread , you’d have seen that I did not criticise your joke. And I feel neither demeaned nor offended .
Best laid plans Rufus ?
The joke was a dig at Nicola Sturgeon
Firecracker123 Actually it originally featured a David Cameron, but I tried to make it neutral and keep out of Scottish politics!.
Please stay! I was getting depressed reading of the trouble and strife being caused by shopping trolleys; there's nothing funny in them; dirty or sparkling clean!

Are we allowed to tell jokes these days? Someone is sure to be offended.
With a risk of offending any pirates or people from the West Country a pirate went to the doctor ‘ Oi be worried about them warts on me back , oi thinks they moight be the cancerin kind’ Doctor looks carefully at the warts and says,
‘No, they’re benign’
‘Argh,’ says the pirate. ‘oi thinks there be ten’

Are you saying it’s impossible to tell a joke that isn’t racist/sexist/homophobic?
Rufus2, you brightened my day.
Personally I wouldn’t make fun of people’s accents but I can see how jokes like that can be seen as amusing - jokes employing racist stereotypes not so much.,
Thanks Rufus and Co, I really needed a laugh today. ?

Yes. Mine was racist of course against the West Country pirates. Making assumptions and I am so sorry you took offence.

Where did I say ai took offence - please and be accurate when ascribing feelings and reactions to me.
I should point out , to be fair, that some of my relatives are West Country which makes it even worse. I don’t know if they were pirates but it is awful to condemn those poor pirates who were probably just oppressed by people like you and me who are more fortunate in their lives. It is awful and I won’t be able sleep I am sure. I feel rather oppressed by your comments but I forgive you.
Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He’s not breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls 911.
“I think my friend is dead!” he yells. “What can I do?”
The operator says, “Calm down. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.”
There’s a silence, then a shot. Back on the phone, the guy says, “OK, now what?”
This one is best listened to on You Tube. Type in ‘Clement Freud joke’. It isn’t offensive as far as I know. My favourite joke. Not sure if this link will work youtu.be/UeGZkxp5yoM
One of the first slightly risqué jokes I heard as a teenager, with all the ‘. . . ist’ words removed.
7 characters from a fairy tale, bathing together (to save water), were feeling grumpy.
Grumpy got out so they all felt happy!
SecondhandRose-
Well that'll teach me. Note to self - stay off the jokes threads.
Not offended, not accusing anyone of being racist, just wondering if we will ever get past this.....
