How about an Italian WWII rifle - never fired, only dropped once.

I have been on this board for a long time.  I like it because there aren't many "negative" posts.  No real flaming etc.  I do not like humor that is offensive.  We poke fun but do not intend to truly offend.  Let's not ruin this board with lot's of vulgar posts.

Well, I don't know what being on the board a long time has to do with this ???

At the worst the jokes could be considered tasteless, not offensive.  But this should be moved to the Everything Else since it really isn't anything for sale.

Good joke.  Keep it up.  I suppose the thread about Computer Programmer or Serial Killer should offend me because I am a Software Developer  ::) ...

I'm of the opinion that people these days are too thin-skinned.  As long as there is no malice behind the humor, I don't have a problem with it.

I'll make a joke about anything, anyone, any group, any topic, etc. if I'm with my closest friends because they know me, they know I don't mean anything by it, and they know I'll be the first one to make a joke about myself, as well.

That being said, I watch what kind of jokes I tell in public because not everyone does know me and my intentions, and I don't have a desire to offend anyone.  Needless to say, I don't tell many jokes in public because someone somewhere will be offended by almost any joke.   :P

I don't get it.

Where's the offense?

Are you offended because you got your hopes up when you saw there was a paracute for sale?

I have a M license and I chuckle when people send me photos of motorcycle deaths.  If my life ends as a bloody skid mark on the pavement and photos of said skid mark end up on the internet, I will not be offended.  Partly, because I know motorcycles are dangerous, but mostly because I'll be dead.

Not funny

(I have a B license with the US Parachute Association)
I wholeheartedly disagree, as have others.  While it may not be YOUR brand of humor (I'll address that), it most certainly IS funny.  Your having a B license has absolutely nothing to do with whether it is funny, except to show why YOU feel it is not funny.  I, however, don't ever want to take life OR death seriously, therefore, I look for the humor in everything I can, each and every day.

I have been on this board for a long time.  I like it because there aren't many "negative" posts.  No real flaming etc.  I do not like humor that is offensive.  We poke fun but do not intend to truly offend.  Let's not ruin this board with lot's of vulgar posts.
While I agree that the joke could be considered offensive, I could take equal offense with your characterization that I am a "VULGAR" poster.  Many can attest to the fact that I am, in fact, NOT.  I shall let you off with a stern warning ::)


Now, on to offending others :D:

What does this have to do with BYOAC anyway?
I often wonder what LOTS of things have to do with BYOAC.  It usually stops at wondering, because, in the end, unless it's spam (which I can easily get in my inbox, mailbox, and several other places), I can easily just read it and move on, not taking the time to reply.  In fact, all those posts you don't see on certain topics....those are ME! WHATEVER you do, don't check my profile and view all my past posts....you may need duct tape for your head.  Not to keep it from exploding, but so that the ambulance driver can find all the parts when they try to put it back together.

How about an Italian WWII rifle - never fired, only dropped once.
You should see the French versions!  It doesn't even have to be from WWII, ALL of their guns are in that condition ;D

...godammit, did i just defend DREW?

no god, wwwwwhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyy???
because you read this and thought just like me that it was funny as heck, and want me to defend YOU if you ever post something so "vulgar", like that cupholder picture ::)

Good joke.  Keep it up.  I suppose the thread about Computer Programmer or Serial Killer should offend me because I am a Software Developer  ::) ...
Hey danny, lookit this!!! another affirmation!  Does anyone have any rocket fuel to start this BBQ?  I've gotta throw some shrimp on the barbie....Hey MrArcade, that grimace...goodonya, mate (;) 's @ danny)

...That being said, I watch what kind of jokes I tell in public because not everyone does know me and my intentions, and I don't have a desire to offend anyone.  Needless to say, I don't tell many jokes in public because someone somewhere will be offended by almost any joke.   :P
I don't go looking to offend, but I also don't worry about when I do offend.  It's the right-wing nutjob in me.  It's in the Bill of Rights....The right to offend....isn't it?

just the kind of joke i would expect from a right wing nut job ;)
you're far too kind...thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week.  Tip your waitresses....try the veal (DAGNABBIT....sorry all you vegetarians and cruelty-free animal huggers out there)

Well, I don't know what being on the board a long time has to do with this ???

At the worst the jokes could be considered tasteless, not offensive.  But this should be moved to the Everything Else since it really isn't anything for sale.
I just expected this to be read a few times and slowly fade away...now that it's been moved to Everything Else, (and it should be there, I just figured if I posted a "For Sale" in here, it'd be moved) it's gotten more responses than I ever intended it to!   ::)



I've also got another.  It's in a politcal vein, but IT'S JUST A FUNNY JOKE.

Have you seen the new Republican campaign slogan?  

One person, One vote
(offer not valid in Florida)

I had a feeling once this got put in Everything Else that a lot more would respond.  It's nice to see a lot of people replying can actually see the humor.  I totally agree with RacerX that people are too easily offended nowadays.

wtf?  Ok, is there anyone that's actually this anal about humor, or was this an attempt at a subtle joke in itself?

Remember, this is the Internet (World Wide Web), not a public place within the United States. There are lots of members here from other countries, pal. The US bill of rights has no meaning to them.  :P

I'm offended you called me pal.   ::)

Thank GOODNESS I was here when you came to my rescue and informed me the W in "www" stood for "WORLD"...WHEW...I'd have gone to my grave a misguided American.

As I'm told countless times, it's my attitude that those from other countries don't like...my "I'm better than you" attitude.


This must be one of those times they write about.  

Thank goodness the Bill of Rights has meaning to everyone reading this, and has understood how it applies to me.

Has anyone seen my tongue?  I left it in my cheek, and now I can't find it.
