I have never claimed to write in good taste. As Malcolm Muggeridge once said "Humour lies in the difference between human aspiration and human performance". I was hearing Princess Di jokes and Challenger jokes within half an hour of the deaths of those respective parties. It's life - and we're the living. Get over it
And Muggeridge's defininition explains why sex is such a topic of humour, and why pointing out the absurdity of englishrose's statement is appropriate. It made no comment about the dead whatsoever (note use of the word "dead", not the genteelism we've had so far in this thread)
Because we hear jokes that are in bad taste does not make them either funny or right. The number that were going round about Gays and A.I.Ds offended many perhaps you would think of this in future. It is a common fact that people who joke about everything are insecure and please stop the misquotes .
I have never heard this before.
In fact I was always under the impression that the dynamic would (should?) be pretty close to the opposite ... with some exceptions of course ~ Jerry Lewis for one. M. Homintern perhaps another :blackeye:
Was your statement above based on some poll or academic study?
Cheers ...

... the number of rationalisations people come up with about why people make jokes - usually by people who have no sense of the ridiculous. I haven't yet heard a rib-tickling joke about AIDS but I'm sure one exists and I look forward to hearing it - it will be most likely delivered by someone who has the disease. I'm pretty much convinced there is no subject that is exempt from humour, but I realise that many, many people are po-faced about one thing or another. If I have offended them ... tough
I haven't yet heard a rib-tickling joke about AIDS but I'm sure one exists and I look forward to hearing it - it will be most likely delivered by someone who has the disease. This is a joke that Bob Hope used. "I heard the satue of liberty has aids,they dont know if she got it from the mouth of the hudson river or the staten island fairy"
