...Joke...

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

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

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

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.

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

Neither would I, sago but this isn’t real life.

There have been plenty of joke threads. Not easy to find them, though. Also cartoon threads. I'll see if I can find any.

Too predictable.
For a joke to be funny we shouldn’t be able to guess the punchline right from the start should we?

They should have used nutcrackers.

Always works for me! 😂

My DH read this and said, “Oooh!”

We’re both still giggling. Thank you, VB000!
I’m sorry it hasn’t met with 100% approval but, as ShazzaKanazza says, we need cheering up!

That's a separate joke Merlotgran!

Glad you liked it ShazzaKanazza, yes I think a joke thread would be a good idea!

It’s a funny joke I liked it. VB000 a separate joke thread would be good heaven knows we need cheering up. X

I'm glad some people on here have a sense of humour - goodness knows we need to try to see the funny side sometimes, especially at the moment, as so many people are having a difficult time.

Probably explains why so few people put jokes on here - it's perhaps a whole new thread.

It made me laugh.

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

I'm easily pleased 😂

I was reading, thinking this isn't going to be funny, not my type of joke.

But it was 😂😂😂

Same here 😂

BlueBelle

Yes that’s a Rufus joke for sure, very dated haha

I'm obviously past my sell-by date.

Oh dear, I must be slow 😂😂😂
I wasn't going to read it at first.

Loved it!
