It's Saucy Joke Time!

Shouldn’t a saucy joke actually be funny?

My heart sank when I saw the thread title.
Who’d a thunk it could sink even further.
Sorry @Spuddy - good try but not good enough.
(Teachers don’t faint these days either )

Nah- not funny. Kind of 1950s era.

Agree Maw.

I certainly wouldn't have fainted, heard worse.

The problem with most "saucy" humour is that it isn't remotely funny - and this is a good example

I also gritted my teeth when I saw the title.
A late Antipodean used to attempt this kind of humour, it caused great rifts!

This so called joke shows that children are no longer children, they know far too much at a very early age. What happened to ignorance is bliss.

I doubt a child made that joke up.
I still miss the late antipodean. He was of his time.

This joke did make me chuckle.

What did the banana say to the vibrator?

Why are YOU shaking? She’s going to eat me!

I realise that it was not a joke written by a child but the implication was that a child said it.

Time to Hide this thread.

No not funny for me either

When I saw the title my first thought was of the late antipodean too!

I agree, but I think you misjudged your audience, Spuddy.

I'm really late to the party I'm afraid, must have missed this. Are we saying he went to the 'great billabong in the sky'? Aww so sad 😢 he did ruffle a lot of feathers though didn't he?

It is not forbidden to mention his name like Volamort is it?

BARRY HUMPHRIES AKA DAME EDNA EVERAGE

Sorry, don't understand your post Indigo.

Spuddy, not funny at all.

Was Barry/Edna ever a poster on this forum, I doubt it.In which case the Aussie being mentioned was a real poster who has now ceased to be one it seems.
Spuddy nothing wrong with a saucy joke if not crass but it does have to be funny.The one you posted missed the mark.

No Indigo I think we were meaning Rufus (oops! there I've said it, now I'll be in deep doodoo)

Sorry all, silly mistake, I'm still a relative newbie please forgive me.

I rather wish I had seen some posts from he/she who cannot be named.

* Spuddy* thanks for trying to make us laugh but that kind of humour has never gone down well on Gransnet.
We did have a joke type thread not long ago that was very funny

Rufus used to post quite often and certainly read the posts. He felt most of the posters were friends. He lived on his own in a sheltered flat. One day he just stopped posting. We never heard from him again.

Anyone seen the "woke" version of Goethe's Der Erlkönig?

Those of you who read German might just find it funny-

Der:Erlkönig;in
Wer reitet so spät durch Nacht und Wind?
Es ist der: die Vater: Mutter: Elternperson mit seinem: ihrem Kind;
er: hat den: das Knaben: Mädchen wohl in dem Arm,
er: sie fasst ihn: es sicher, er hält ihn:es warm.

Mein: e Sohn, Tochter was birgst du so bang dein Gesicht? —
Siehst Vater, : Mutter: Elternperson, du den: die Erlkönig :in nicht?
Den : die Erlkönig:in mit Kron’ und Schweif? —
Mein: e Sohn:Tochter, es ist ein Nebelstreif.
