mello yello Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 heres something that will make you smile http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_joke An ethnic joke is a humorous remark relating to an ethnic, racial or cultural group, often referring to a stereotype of the group in question for its punchline. Ethnic jokes have been around since people first noticed they were different from one another, and ethnocentrism and a sense of ethnic identity appeared. Jokes feed upon difference and distinctions (not only ethnic, of course) and if one of the functions of ethnic jokes is to ridicule and depreciate these in-out groups, another function is to maintain and strengthen a sense of one’s identity in some in-group. It may be that ethnic humour helps us deal with hostility verbally instead of physically, but these slurs also reinforce our stereotypes and sometimes lead to calls for violence.[1] Ethnic jokes are often considered to be offensive and as a form of hate speech. Perceived as such, they may sometimes be referred to as race jokes, or racist jokes. But the definition of what constitute a race, ethnicity or a social group varies from one nation or society to the next, about who is considered a racial minority or ethnic group. Q : How does every ethnic joke start? A : With a look over your shoulder.

radioholic Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 # How do they serve alcoholic drinks on Italian cruise ships? - On the rocks # What vegetables do you get with dinner on Italian cruise ships? - Leeks # What's the fastest way to get off an Italian cruise ship? - Follow the captain # When the captain of the ill fated Costa Concordia was asked if he knew where he was going he replied "off course." # So the captain of the Costa Concordia will soon be in the dock. That's more than can be said for his ship. # The Costa Concordia is probably the most expensive thing to go down in Italy since Berlusconi's last hooker. # What's the difference between the Italian economy and the stricken cruise liner Costa Concordia? Nothing - The bottoms dropped out of both. ......................... Yorac people died on that ship and some are still missing.......... that joke is a little off.......
mello yello Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) Attention all: apparently this thread has a new moderating team: Radioholic and Mello Yello (different year, multiple models) all jokes that may have had a tragedy involved or allude to any ethnic content are to be cleared by the joke mods ( the new forum moral police) first................... aparrently all thats apparent is that this thread has a new Village Idiot I posted a link about ethnic jokes, I havent even offered an opinion, one way or another...yet, ...just displaying what "others" think of them and for all intents and purposes another responder could have been mocking that particular viewpoint, ...(for all we know) Obviously an over-reaction brought upon by guilt perhaps? who knows I am indeed humbled, though, that my wee widdle opinion towards reform would be held in such high steed as to warrant attention, abuse and mockery must be something in them thar cookies, Robin Edited January 30, 2012 by mello yello II

proftournesol Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 I like the "please enquire at the help desk if you have any questions" The help desk is manned by the 50 year old matron with the whippy stick in her hand:) 1
Catostylus Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 "Manned by a matron"? I'm presuming that's not an error.....
proftournesol Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 "Manned by a matron"?I'm presuming that's not an error..... you obviously haven't seen some of the matrons that I've worked with! 'manned' is a most appropriate description:( 1
