yellow carded

[Bill Gates]

I recently registered with a forum for athletes with a history of heart problems and saw that they were running a joke thread. I copied and pasted a couple of gems and then found that the moderator had deleted them for being too rude and given me a bollocking.

The thing is that many of the members are based in the USA. I read at the weekend that 43% of Americans believe in creationism, which is why the producers of a new film about Darwin can't get a distributor in the USA. No wonder they don't appreciate a bit of humour, if they mostly are thick nutters. I signed in as cougar BTW

What were the jokes?

Americans do tend to be terribly sensitive. The dears.

What were the jokes?

A bloke walks into the pub, and asks for 12 vodkas.
The barman lines them up and watches him knock them back. Hell mate whats the celebration.
I've just had my first blowjob..
The barman congratulates him, let me buy you another one.
Na feckit, if 12 dont take the taste away 13 not gonna do it!!!!

A woman goes to the doctor.

Doctor she says I have a problem. Every time I walk I fart. Really he says, would you mind just walking across the floor for me? She does and sure enough a series of farts are emitted. And would you mind walking back again. sure enough some more farts are heard.

With that he reaches into a drawer and pulls out a large rod with a hook on the end. You aren't going to stick that up my arse are you doctor? No I'm going to open the window. There's a terrible smell in here.

A priest and a nun were returning from the church convention when their car broke down.They had it towed to the local garage and faced the fact that they'd have to spend the night in a motel. There was only 1 motel in town and it only had 1 room available. So they had a problem.

'Sister ,' said the priest, 'i dont think the lord would mind, under the circumstances, if we spent the night together in this 1 room. i'll sleep on the couch and you take the bed,'

'I think that would be ok,' said the nun.

They prepared 4 bed and each 1 took took their agreed place . 10 minutes later the sister said , 'Father, i'm terribly cold,'

'Ok ,' said the priest, 'i'll get up n get you a blanket from the closet,'

10 minutes later the nun said , 'Father i'm still terribly cold,'

'OK sister,' said the priest, ' i'll get up n get you another blanket,'

10 minutes later , the nun said ,'Father, I'm still terribly cold. I don't think the lord would mind if we acted as man and wife for just this one night,'

' You're probably right ,' said the priest , 'Get up and get your own damn blanket,'


***************

A guy chats up an older woman at a club. she looks ok for a 51 yr old and he finds himself thinking that she probably has a hot daughter.
they drink a bit and have a bit of a snuggle and then she asks him if he ever had a "sportsmans double"
"whats that?" he asks
"its a mother and daughter threesome" she says
"no" he replies exitedly. they drink a bit more, then she says that tonight is his lucky night
so they head back to hers. she turns on the hall light and shouts upstairs

Different forums different rules, I'm on some that would allow them and others that would react the same way.

You might think that the forum is for adults but there is some admins want members to be able to read their forum with their son, daughter, grand child sat next to them etc... without fear that it that they might see/read something "inappropriate".

Would you tell those jokes to a child, probably not. Its a fine line but if thats the way the admin on that site want it to be then its their call, they own the place.

Yes but if you were unaware of that fine line, and you posted what you believed to be OK, and what is more designed to give others a laugh, is it not heavy handed to give out a public admonishment? Surely a pm would suffice and the offending posts deleted.

A yellow card is appropriate if having been given a warning and a further transgression takes place. Nah, with Mother Superior moderating I won't be visiting there again

I sympathise - my brother lives in the USA and is married to a bird brain with all kinds of psychoses. From being a down-to-earth cycling and mountaineering type he has become all touchy-feely and sensitive and nowadays you can't say or write anything to him without him replying that there seem to be some issues here and we need to sit down and discuss them.

No, you are right, a public dressing down on by a mod isn't the way to go.

Officious mods are just part of the rich tapestry of t'internet.
