What do blondes and beer bottles have in common? They’re both empty from the neck up. Why haven’t any women ever gone to the moon? It doesn’t need cleaning yet.
Did you laugh? For many people, these are laugh-out-loud jokes, the kind to share with friends at parties. For others, they’re remnants of an embarassingly sexist era, one we’d like to forget. Others fall somewhere in between.
That was a cool article. It’s interesting what can be cloaked in “humor”.
Humor is a very fine knife.
I like to keep my humor to more neutral territory.
Most good comics go for the absurdity of life and stuff like that.
That’s were my humor lies. 
But I thought that if someone was offended by something they just shouldn’t read it?
Why do you feel the need to attack like that? Is everything I post going to get attacked over a previous post?
No, I just found this ironic.
My experience with off color humor, especially that which stereotypes others, was that there is a very fine line between what is a joke and what is just wrong and going too far…
I had some friends in my teens when I had a much more ‘anything goes’ attitude who would joke about some pretty sick things…and what started as jokes among friends eventually got to the point where they no longer even seemed to be joking. It was just sick and insensitive…
I know I’ve even been slightly offended by the ignorance of stand up comedians on TV…but as far as these sort of jokes about women…no they don’t make me laugh just sort of sigh.
What dog can jump higher than a building?
Any dog, buildings can’t jump!
What did the math book say to the other math book?
Boy do I have problems.
Actually those kind of stupid jokes aren’t something that are read but usually heard at work, gatherings, parties, etc… I can’t stand them - both those sexist and racist jokes.
And truth be told women never went to the moon because everyone STOPPED going to the moon. had we kept going to the Moon, women would have gone for sure… That Moon joke is major stupid and shows the ignorance of some human males on this planet.
I have no clue how the blond jokes even started, I have known a few blond girls very intelligent, one with a 4.2 in college.
I do think that jokes can be very hurtful - A lot of times people will say something sexist or racist and because it is in Joke form, they feel excused for saying vile things - Please no excuses
I’ve noticed that whenever someone says, “just kidding”, they really aren’t.
I also dislike humour that arises from the discomfort, humiliation, or injury of others. I have a longstanding dispute with my wife about allowing our daughter to watch America’s Funniest Videos. I don’t feel that braying with laughter is the appropriate response when someone gets nailed hard in the head (or crotch) with a line drive at a baseball game.
Of course, I’m the fellow who laughs inappropriately while watching Dexter, so my notions of humour should be taken with a grain of salt. Or maybe a block of it.

I have siblings 8 and 10. I was driving them home when my brother started telling me that he saw a YouTube videoof a car fflipping and sliding under a tractor trailer. He was going on about how great it was and my sister was agreeing. I just had to reprimand them. You could tell that not for one second had they thought of the injured.
Sometimes jokes aren’t even based in fact but misconceptions entirely…
Like there was this stand up comedian ages ago who used to make fun of political correctness…okay sure…but one of his jokes was about how you can’t even call someone dumb anymore as the word for this is now that they have a (and he did finger quotes here) “learning disability”…
This is simply ignorance as I happen to have one of these “learning disabilities” and it is only math related…you can often have a learning disability and be next to brilliant in other areas…it is not in fact a politically correct term for dumb people.
Some things really get my goat I tell you…
Might be a wild dog problem. We get them a lot around here.
It was pointed out to me that I say “just kidding” and “not that I want you to take it the wrong way” or “don’t take this the wrong way” and then I really want them to take it that way, or I’m not kidding. I think most of the time it was a survival mechanism, but I try my best just to be completely honest about everything. 
I also watched Dexter, every season 
and found it’s darkness appealing, Not that I’m dark <---- see I thought about saying that. I have a dark side. It’s there. It allows me to let go and it doesn’t care, but just does what it wants, which is appealing.
I’m with you on this! 
It’s just not funny when you are tearing someone else down or making fun of something that someone may have no control over. I just find it sad.
I correspond with folks in prison. I identify with stigma, loneliness, lack, and limitation.
People in prison like to get a page or two of jokes in the mail. There’s not much to smile about in there! Humor is the coin of the realm in lock up; if someone does you a good turn, you can repay him by making him laugh!
Well, I’ve tried to be sensitive about what jokes I send to folks in prison. Afterall the connection I have to the person to whom I’m writing may be as tenuous as I know someone whose son in law’s girl friend in in for drunken behavior behind the wheel. Well, it tunrs out the folks in prison are so hungry for jokes they’ll appreciate just about anythng I can get!

jokes are like a fine wine- it has to go with whatever is being said, food for thought.
I love goofball humor…Jim Carey-Jerry Lewis-Steve Martin-Chevy Chase…Everyone has their own things that make them laugh.
If you really want to take it up a notch-what about all the Looney Tunes cartoons? Whopping each other over the head, etc…you could go so far with this kind of stuff
LOL, how ironic. I was cleaning out an old box this afternoon and came across my college math notebook. I was failing and dropped math 100… in my notebook there were some simple algebra (which is very difficult for me) but amidst the numbers and letters were drawings of rockets and planes, flying saucers, poetry, a revelation about the femininity of God, a schematic of a pyramidal structure I designed, notes on an essay for another class i happened to get an A+ on, and a concept to use old scrapped 500 gallon jet fuel tanks for water storage… I failed that math class but there was some very cool stuff in that notebook…
A cruel joke, it’s like getting punched in the gut by someone, you can feel it deep down and it is harmful, poisonous even.
Who are you guys rooting for? barbie or malvok? an epic struggle, seemingly without end, let us battle!
