The thread for jokes that don’t meet Flobs’ exacting standards

If they did that to your seat… what on earth has it done to your jeans…!

Kurt Vonnegut was amazing - the Mark Twain of his day. My favourite author. Cat’s Cradle and Slaughterhouse Five are incredible.

In poor taste considering the history.

On second viewing I agree, deleting it. Thank you for the reminder.

is it responsible for Harry and Meg to invoke it in the first place?

as uninteresting as i find them and the whole shitshow, its quite an interesting side issue;

i mean, what about the rest of the family watching this shitshow unravel, the grandchildren who never knew thier grandma etc etc, and here we have a quite wealthy and healthy and well protected power couple invoke scenes of tradgedy…

enlargen that circle a fraction to victims of road trauma elsewhere…

is what Harry and Meg did OK? seems like most reports on the issue are suggesting its hard to have a 2hr car chase in new york and the danger of the chase might have been embelished somewhat.

probably a conversation for another thread

You can have a 2hr car chase in New York, but I suspect the average speed would be 3 miles an hour.

It would be a crawl, not a chase.

I ignore anything to do with the Royal Family, as I have zero interest in a monarchy of any type. On top of that, I have zero interest in the world of the “celebrity”. Therefore I have no interest in discussing their lives.

Despite my lack of interest in these people, bearing in mind the circumstances around the death of their mother/mother-in-law, I felt the “joke” was in poor taste, as did @koptician who quickly removed it.

Think it’s to do with his brother who was convicted and jailed for paedophilia

That’s Gordon the Gopher, he was Schofield’s puppet in his early TV days. Think it was filmed in his broom cupboard.

A woman goes into Cabela’s to buy a rod and reel for her grandson’s birthday. She doesn’t know which one to get, so she just grabs one and goes over to the counter. The clerk was standing behind the counter wearing dark glasses.

She says to him, “Excuse me, sir. Can you tell me anything about this rod and reel?”
He says, “Ma’am, I’m completely blind; but if you’ll drop it on the counter, I can tell you everything from the sound it makes.”

She doesn’t believe him but drops it on the counter anyway.
He says, “That’s a 6-foot Shakespeare graphite rod with a Zebco 404 reel and 10-pound test line. It’s a good all-around combination, and it’s on sale this week for only $20.”

She says, “It’s amazing that you can tell all that just by the sound of it dropping on the counter. I’ll take it!” As she opens her purse, her credit card drops on the floor.

“Oh, that sounds like a MasterCard,” he says.
She bends down to pick it up and accidentally farts. At first she is really embarrassed, but then realizes there is no way the blind clerk could tell it was her who tooted. Being blind, he wouldn’t know that she was the only person around?

The man rings up the sale and says, “That’ll be $34.50 please.”
The woman is totally confused by this and asks, “Didn’t you tell me the rod and reel were on sale for $20? How did you get $34.50?”

He replies, “Yes, ma’am. The rod and reel is $20, but the Duck Call is $11, and the Catfish Bait is $3.50.” She paid it and left without saying a word.
