...Joke...

I thought it was funny. Why is it inappropriate, sago. 🤔

I guess I view GN threads differently to others.
I feel it’s in really bad taste to come on to a forum as a new poster and tell such a joke.
I would not tell such a joke to people I had never met before.

Well I haven't "met" anyone on here during the last 6 months since joining - I'm puzzled as to how long would I have to be on here to tell a joke?

What's wrong with trying to cheer people up?

As they say, if you don't like it, can always scroll by...

I know there are many here who remember GreatNan.
She loved a joke.

I'm glad some people on here have a sense of humour...

'Humour' is subjective. It's not an exact science.

Most people have a sense of humour, but what amuses one will not necessarily entertain another.

I always get a little irritated when people imply that you lack a sense of humour because you don't laugh at their jokes.

oh, fgs.
google jokes, thousands come up just had a good laugh.
.
surely there's better things to put on here.

That cuts both ways when somebody declares a joke to be unfunny just because they think so.

Each to their own.

... I didn't say the joke was 'unfunny'.

In fact, I wasn't commenting on the joke at all, rather the assumptions about having (or not having) a sense of humour.

It's not for me to decide for others whether or not the joke is funny.

So I didn't.

Sago

Not funny and inappropriate

well I agree with sago...

a person can state their opinion without needing to answer to the bullies who don't agree! get a life some of you. god if you like it. leave others alone..

some jokes are aimed at the lowest common denominator in my opinion

VB000 missed that before today-but I laughed anyway. Thanks

Oh dear, arguments on a joke thread……..

I hadn’t heard it before, and I didn’t guess the punchline, either. So 😂, thank you, OP.

I didn't guess the punch line either, I think I must be naive. Not something I would tell to a friend either and definitely not DH.I'm with Sago on this one.

I laughed!!

I didn’t guess the punchline. I didn’t find it amusing. I’m with Sago too.

Of course there are better things to post on here but most people don’t bother, I wonder why 🤔

I’m with Sago, I just didn’t find it funny.

Another joke!

Liked that! 🤣

Me too!

Me three!

Another joke!

That made me laugh out loud. Well it was a sort of small laugh but loud.

OP was fine. Raised a smile. My husband also found it amusing

If I ever hear the word inappropriate about a joke I know it will be appropriate for me.

Dear me, some of these responses make me think - and not for the first time - that some GNers are very prissy.

I’d certainly tell it to dh - I fail to see what could possibly be wrong with that. Unless one is supposed to be too ‘ladylike’ or ‘innocent’ to understand how men produce such samples, but that would be like something from a past era - to me, anyway.

Really, lemsip!

Who do you judge to be the lowest common denominator?

Me probably 😂😂😂
