I asked a friend from North Korea how things were going there. He said he couldn't complain.

I get more complaints about this thread than any other. So should I shut it down? Or would everyone agree to lay off the political jokes and have fun another way? There is 'humor' that attacks groups. Sometimes it's offensive and meant be an expression of a position of opinion. It is not a personal attack and, within limits, should given some toleration lest we all turn into self righteous prigs. Then there's 'humor' that attacks other forum members directly. That is always offensive, usually marked by it's lack of any elements of personal humor ,incapable of tolerance and meant to be so. If an individual poster is attacked with words, it can no more be tolerated than if they were attacked with fists in our presence,. In other words, making a personal statement in a humorous way, even if I don't agree with the sentiments, teaches tolerance for all while making statements in a childish fit of temper that confuses spite with humor drags us all down because it is not funny in any part. Delete the posts that convey spite against an individual poster, like any other thread, and let the rest of us savor the humor in others even if we don't agree with the sentiment.

You will be notified each time someone finds something offensive. Now if we could just agree to what is right... This is your forum. You make the rules.

Sometimes there is political bashing, but as long as it’s clean I can tolerate it. I check this thread everyday. Sometimes I laugh out loud, and I need that.

So accurate except I won't do number 10 and, being a contrarian, I'm still try to get around no. 3. But I'm laughing at that too.

The whole thing is a lye because there are only nine things. No #5. .

Sister Mary was truly a religious woman. Besides for her duties as a nun, she was also very active in Various hospitals visiting sick patients and taking care of all their needs.
So it was no surprise that one day when she ran out of gas, the only container she could find to put the gas Into was a bedpan. Sister Mary happily walked two blocks to the closest gas station, filled up the bedpan With gas and headed back to her car.
Luck would have it that as Sister Mary started tipping the gas into the fuel tank, the traffic light turned red And she had quite a large audience witnessing the spectacle.
Just when she finished pouring in the last drops of gas a fellow opened up his window and hollered, "I swear! If that car starts I'm becoming a religious man!"

Rupert and Elaine, a young couple got married and happily went on their honeymoon.
When they got back, Elaine immediately phoned her mother and and her mother obviously asked, "how was the honeymoon, dearest?"
"Oh, Ma, she replied, the honeymoon was wonderful. So romantic!"
Then Elaine burst out crying. "But Ma, as soon as we returned home Rupert started using The most gastly language...saying things I've never heard before!" I mean, all these awful 4-letter words!" You've got to come and take me home...please Ma."
"Calm down, Elaine!" Said her mother, tell me, what could be so awful?" What 4-letter Words?"
Still sobbing, Elaine whispered, "oh Ma, words like dust, wash, cook, clean and iron."

The airline had a policy that required the first officer to stand at the door while the passengers exited, smile And give them a " thanks for flying XYZ airline."
An Airline pilot on this particular flight hammered his plane into the runway really hard. In light of his Bad landing he had difficulty looking the passengers in the eye. All the time he thought that a Passenger would have a smart comment. However, it seemed that all the passengers were too shell Shocked to say anything.
Finally, everyone had gotten off except for this little old lady walking with a cane. She said "sonny, Mind if I ask you a question?" "Why no ma'am, said the pilot, what is it?" The little old lady said, "Did we land or were we shot down?"

I recently saw a video clip on TV where a man thought that a goat who flapping his tongue at him was just sooooo cute He kept saying "Look at that. " Ignorance is bliss. As long as he stayed out of pee range that is.

Jim strode into "Johns stable" looking to buy a horse. "Listen here" said John, I've got just the horse you're Looking for, only thing is, he was trained by an interesting fellow." He doesn't go and stop the usual way. The way to get him to stop is to scream hey hey, the way to get him to go is to scream "thank God."
Jim nodded his head "fine with me, can I take him for a test run?"
Jim was having the time of his life, this horse could sure run, he thought to himself. Jim was speeding down The dirt road when he suddenly saw a cliff up ahead. "Stop!" Screamed Jim, but the horse kept on going. No Matter how much he tried he could not remember the words to get him to stop. "Yoyo" screamed Jim but the Horse just kept on speeding ahead. It was 5 feet from the cliff when Jim suddenly remembered "hey hey!" Jim screamed. The horse skidded to a halt just 1 inch from the cliff.
Jim could not believe his good fortune, he looked up to the sky, raised his hands in the air, breathed a deep Sigh of relief and said with conviction. "Thank God."

The wedding date was set and the grooms three pals - a carpenter, an electrician, and A dentist were deciding what pranks to play on the couple on their wedding night.
The carpenter figured sawing the slats of their bed would give them a chuckle or two.
The electrician decided to wire the bed, with alternating current, of course.
The dentist wouldn't commit himself, but wore a sly grin and promised it would be Memorable.
The nuptials went as planned and a few days later, each of the grooms buddies Received the following note from the groom.
Dear friends,
We didn't mind the bed slats being sawed.
The electric shock was only a minor setback.
BUT I SWEAR IM GOING TO KILL WHOEVER PUT THE NOVOCAINE IN THE K-Y JELLY! 😲
