Superstring,
Thanks for reminding us all that we all have different senses of humor and that that is OK . We need to have tolerance for other people's opinions about all issues including humor. The important thing is that we lighten up and learn to laugh when we can. Life is stressful enough without getting hung up on humor.
By the way, the reason the Jamaican joke is out of sequence is because it was deleted by the site and I reposted it. There is nothing wrong with that joke.

Superstring,
Thank you for the story about the Jamaican joke being told to your husband by the neuroradiologist. I have gotten so much c*** about my jokes being so highly offensive that it's ridiculous. I had to turn on my privacy settings to disallow PM's being sent to me from one individual who was harassing me daily.
these jokes are R rated at there worst, and when did we lose the ability to just laugh at things and not take them so seriously. What we deal with on a daily basis is so heartbreaking that I take my laughs where I can get them, and I refused to stop telling jokes that I know are funny--not off the charts funny but chuckle funny.
So to all of those who are so highly offended by jokes that have been told on late night TV shows, I say lighten up and just let yourself laugh. Remember we all have different senses of humor and that's OK

To anybody who is worried about this: My reply to salutem saying "good one" was in response to the joke about the little head, not the red rock eater. Something is wrong with agingcare.com because the little head joke appeared long before the three that precede it on this site.

BTW, salutem, I like the jamaican tattoo one also. We heard this many years ago in a slight variation, told by a neuroradiologist as he slid a large needle into my husband's spine to do a spinal tap. No doubt to distract him. In this variation, the tourist is standing next to the jamaican in the men's room. I can't deliver the joke as well as the neuroradiologist did, but both men have partially visible tattoos which start with the letters "WE..." The tourist notices this, announces proudly that his tattoo is his wife's name--Wendy--and asks the jamaican what his tattoo says. And the jamaican answers, "Welcome to Jamaica and have a nice day!"
Needless to say my husband sailed through the spinal tap laughing. I'd call this bedside manner!

For my part, off color jokes are just fine. This thread has given me many a laugh! (And I like silly third-grade boy bathroom jokes too.)

Warning - a bit evil - my bad. :)

My Chinese friend got really sick one day and had to go to a hospital.
I went to see him the next day, but he just kept whispering "Chun Yu Yan" over and over – and then died.
I was very sad and googled his last message after the burial.
Apparently, it means "You're standing on my oxygen tube."

four Canadian guys go to Jamaica for spring break. They stop into a tattoo shop and decide to get tattoos on their privates. The Jamaican guy says "what kind of tattoo would you like? " Canadian guys say, one that says 'hello'
Jamaican guy says " I have one on my privates too" Canadians say "what does it say?" Jamaican says "Good Afternoon, Welcome To Jamaica and have a Nice Day"

Bit long but worth it I think. ;)


John and David were both patients in a Mental hospital.
One day, John suddenly dived into the deep end of the swimming pool.
David jumped in and saved him, and the medical director came to know of his heroic act.
He immediately order David to be discharged from the mental hospital as he is OK
Doctor: "We have good news and bad news for you, David. The good news is that we are going to discharge you because you have regained your senses, since you are able to jump in and save another patient you are now a normal person. The bad news is that, the patient Mr. John, whom you have saved, hung himself in the toilet, and died."
David: "Doctor, he didn’t hang himself. I hung him there to dry."

You drop something when you're young, you pick it up.
You drop something when you're older, you stare at it contemplating whether it is something you can live without.

My boyfriend Ernie turned 80 yrs. old yesterday and announced to me that he is now dating an 18 yr. old girl.
I said that's OK Ernie when I turn 80 I will date an 18 yr. old boy, and 18 goes into 80 a lot more than 80 goes into 18.

Just a comment on different senses of humour. My little girl, then aged four, came home from Kindy full of excitement and asked me ‘Why did the chicken cross the road?’. Cynical me wonders which new twist is coming next. She then actually says with great glee ‘To get to the other side’. Her sweet little face made me crack up laughing! So both of us happy!

Three highly decorated police officers die in a wild shoot out with narcotics dealers and go to heaven.
God greets them and asks, "When you are laid out in your casket, and your fellow officers and family are mourning you, what would you like to hear them say about you?
The first cop says, "I would like to hear them say, that I was the bravest cop on the force."
The second police officer says, "I would like to hear that I was a terrific cop who died in the line of duty."
The last cop replies, "I would like to hear them say ... Look, He's Moving!"

You have the same choice as us all.
To read, or not to read.
Skip it, don't comment with a thumbs up.
Or smile and thumbs up.
No need to make a personal comment.
We are all (or most of us) here because of circumstance. We do not need snide remarks, we get enough of those elsewhere.

All of us have different types of humour. I know in the past that my humour does not suit all. I try and be thoughtful of others.

A young couple moved into the neighbourhood and the next morning the woman next door watched as laundry was hung out on the clothesline.
"She doesn't know how to wash correctly, that laundry isn't even clean, it all grey and dingy. Perhaps she needs better soap", she told her husband. Every time the neighbour hung the wash out to dry she made a similar comment.
A couple of months later the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash hanging on the line. "Huh", she said to her husband, "Look at that, someone must have taught her how to clean properly". Looking up from the newspaper her husband replied "I got up early and washed the windows".

And so it is with life, what we see when we look at others depends on the clarity of the window through which we gaze.
