Scunner I find the concept of what people find funny fascinating
If a cruise ship sank tonight and I joked about it here the easily offended brigade would be on me-but if we tell a titanic joke its ok. So are sick jokes funny after a period of time-surely thats just hypocrisy
Same as what people go up in arms about-I often find that many moral crusader types have a darker side to their own sesnse of humour/morals etc. Someone who goes nuts re a disabled joke might well raise a smile at a racist one.
I know Mr S you have some experience of this part of the world and we are renowned for our gallows type humour-and we maker no apology for it, nor do we pontificate with moral judgements on whos humour is sick and whos not
For mere mortals like myself who try to be up front, warts and all-its amusing in itself to hear the self righteous declare whats funny and whats sick in humour.
