A Joke! Remember them? ,
Relax! Not demeaning to Ladies nor even Women! grin

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” - `

If you just google the words 'joke sites' a complete page of web sites will drop down.

How do you know if you are a bogan?
You let your 15 year old daughter smoke at the dinner table,
in front of her kids.

Oh dear looks like a couple of new members who mistakenly think GNs are easily shocked and upset. Are the schools on holiday?

Amber Well done! You have my full support.
It's a shame that some people must despoil my wholesome "Jokes" thread with their crudities
They come no where near the required standards of subtleness! grin
Btw; I've taken the precaution of saving the thread just in case GNHQ arrive with their "scorched-earth" policy
Thanks again!
Good Health

Thanks, Rufus!

Good one Rufus - wish I'd heard this year's ago - if I ever travel by train again it might come in useful ?

How does a politician sleep at night?
First he lies on one side, then he lies on the other.

Good one Rufus - wish I'd heard this year's ago
Ro60 Thanks; I liked it too; one of GreatNans, I think!

Seeing all the deletions occurring lately I'm getting a nervous twitch about entering anything to this thread for fear of demeaning ; e.g. I've come across one involving a fire extinguisher, but even they can be demeaned in some people's' eyes, I imagine! grin
I'm disappointed at the stony silence around here, but I guess we can blame it on Covid like everything else!
Keep trying!
Good Health

I was struggling to figure out how lightning works - then it struck me

(sorry I'll get my coat)

Ro60 Fri 07-May-21 01:07:29

Sunseeker This is how .....? No don't go!

Why are there no aspirins in the jungle?

Because the parrots eat an all.

Rufus2 Fri 07-May-21 12:50:42

sorry I'll get my coat
Sunseeker Put that coat back at once! We need you! grin
Don't worry; you'll be safe!
Did you know that lightning never strikes the same place twice?

After the first strike it's never the same place! hmm

A married couple were in Church and the wife turns to her husband and says
"I think I've just let off a silent fart! What should I do?"
Husband replies; "Buy a new battery for your hearing aid!"

This thread was set up to receive Jokes, Comical stories and humorous articles generally hopefully to counter the general apathy that seemed to be growing.
Unfortunately, some morons known as trolls, managed to post some material, which I never got chance to see, that upset some members and was deleted.
Also, unfortunately this thread now contains a series of "obituaries" showing where those deletions occurred. and which confirm to the morons that they achieved their objective
The thread now presents a poor image and I have asked HQ to remove the rest of the rubbish, but I'm told it can't be done, yet whole threads can be "taken down"; no problem!
Go figure! hmm.
The thread is still open for business! grin

Ladies, if a man says he will fix it, he will. There's no need to remind him every six months about it.

A man walks into a library and asks for books about paranoia. The librarian whispers "they're right behind you"

A man walks into a library and asks to borrow a book on suicide. The librarian says "No way! You won't be bringing it back!

FannyCornforth Tue 11-May-21 14:28:41

Hello Rufus don't worry re trolls.
They were all over the site, on umpteen threads.
Most posters know what happened.

I'm currently trying to think of a pun or joke which refers to crudities and crudités...

FannyCornforth Tue 11-May-21 14:30:04

Oh Rufus, your library 'joke' is horrible sad

Fanny C Why!?
:eave that to the Night Owls tonight; I'm sure they know a few.
If not, I can help out provided they're not going to be used here! shock
Sorry about the librarian; didn't know you were one of those amongst your many talents! hmm
Here's to your Good Health wine

Analysing comedy is like dissecting a frog. Nobody laughs and the frog dies.
