Chin up Chick!!! Don't let it stop you posting. Take care xx

I find this pretty amusing coming from people who live in a country where children can buy a news paper from any shelf in any paper shop, or supermarket and find *smut* on every page!!
And songs which are so explicit and they are not only listened to, but sung by the young.... and yet......
An adult is pulled up sharply because they add a rude joke on an ADULT SITE to make a friend giggle.
I am glad I don't come on here at night times, the problems all seem to be.... after dark!!!

I'm here just now, as I had not turned off my computer.
good night all, and enjoy yourselves.

Have to say I agree with you Deanna.

To quote you Mildred:

Just because its a board where you can discuss subjects other than Genealogy. it doesnt mean members can post anything they wish to, regardless of the feelings of others.

Do you remember 19th December 2005?

No?

Believe me, I will never forget it..

Please keep posting Jean, your jokes were so bad that I hadn't even noticed them!!

You were reported and you apologised, surely that should be the end of it.

As has been mentioned on this thread, if the dear little diddums widdums don't like naughty jokies - they should not read em


Carry on Jean and everyone else - post away. I like a laugh

Have to say I agree with Deanna,

There are many worse things than a joke on GR which says something funny, Jean please keep going, I'm sure most of us howl at them,

Please don't stop.
Variety is the spice of life!

Deanna, you've got a very good point there; I hate to say it but that hadn't occurred to me!

I can see where Mildred's coming from too, though.

Just to show you how petty some people can be I had this joke deleted by GR a few weeks ago........shame as it made me pmsl so loudly......


Dave was bragging to his boss one day, 'You know, I know everyone there
is to know. Just name someone, anyone, and I know them.'
Tired of his boasting, his boss called his bluff, 'OK, Dave, how about
Tom Cruise?'

'No dramas boss, Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove it.' So
Dave and his boss fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruise's door
and Tom Cruise shouts, 'Dave! What's happening? Great to see you! Come
on in for a beer! Although impressed, Dave's boss is still sceptical.
After they leave Cruise's house, he tells Dave that he thinks him
knowing Cruise was just lucky.

'No, no, just name anyone else,' Dave says. 'President Bush,' his boss
quickly retorts.
'Yup,' Dave says, 'Old buddies, let's fly out to Washington .'

And off they go.

At the White House, Bush spots Dave on the tour and motions him and his
boss over, saying, Dave, what a surprise, I was just on my way to a
meeting, but you and your friend come on in and let's have a cup of
coffee first and catch up.'

Well, the boss is much shaken by now but still not totally convinced.

After they leave the White House grounds he expresses his doubts to
Dave, who again implores him to name anyone else.

'The Pope,' his boss replies.

'Sure!' says Dave. 'I've known the Pope for years.'

So off they fly to Rome .

Dave and his boss are assembled with the masses at the Vatican when
Dave says, 'This will never work. I can't catch the Pope's eye among
all these people. Tell you what, I know all the guards so let me just
go upstairs and I'll come out on the balcony with the Pope.'

He disappears into the crowd headed towards the Vatican . Sure enough,
half an hour later Dave emerges with the Pope on the balcony, but by
the time Dave returns, he finds that his boss has had a heart attack
and is surrounded by paramedics.

Making his way to his boss' side, Dave asks him,

'What happened?'

His boss looks up and says,

'It was the final straw - you and the Pope came out on the balcony and
the man next to me said,

'Who the f***'s that on the balcony with Dave?'


?......Was that rude and crude..........not in my eyes...lol

Have a good evening all

Suzy.....I think that one got banned because it took all day to read it, and by the time you got to the end you forgot what the beginning was.....lol

I laughed at it second time round too....

LOL Suzy...that was great!

Ok please don't think I'm criticising, that was a really good joke, and one I aint heard before...

But would it have been as funny if you had put...

Who the HELL is that with Dave?

Do you see where GR might be coming from?

You might not have printed the whole word, but there is no mistaking what it is...and that is the bit that is against T&Cs.

So its not the subject of a joke, maybe it's just one word...disguised or not.

I didn't report by the way, just trying to see what is going on here...

Don't shoot me, just giving a likely reason...

Having said all that, some members have used the words in full, in anger, and without warning....and didn't get so much as a warning for it...so unfairness lays on both sides.

There have been a number of references this week to GR being an Adult site. This is quite wrong.

You only have to be 16 to subscribe as a full member and younger children are quite welcome to come on here using their parents log in. The only proviso is that their parent takes responsibility for ensuring they don't break the rules, so perhaps we should be setting a better example.

There is a line between what people consider risque or a bit smutty and what is downright offensive and vulgar.

Unfortunately, a fair bit of what I have read over the past week or so falls into the latter category and I would venture has even been done gratuitously, with the sole intention of stirring peoples feelings even further.

It also starts to wear a bit thin after a while and ceases to be funny anymore.

Teresa.............I just c&p the joke my hubby sent me and put it on here. Never thought about the f word, but then again people might be offened about to h word.....so it seems to be a no win situation.

Suzy :o) x
