I can get a good laugh out of a cartoon or a video as much as a good joke. So I am happy with that. I can also get a good laugh from a political joke, IF the joke really fits the persona of its subject. What I am not happy about are the people who clearly want to score a political point by insulting the other side. You can easily recognize those jokes because switching the names would make no difference to the context of the joke. Those should be banned, especially since most of them are too old and have been recycled for various parties since God knows when. Now the joke: Two women were playing golf. One teed off and watched in horror as her ball headed directly toward a foursome of men playing the next hole. The ball hit one of the men. He immediately clasped his hands together at his groin, fell to the ground and proceeded to roll around in agony. The woman rushed down to the man, and immediately began to apologize. 'Please allow me to help. I'm a Physical Therapist and I know I could relieve your pain if you'd allow me, she told him. 'Oh, no, I'll be all right. I'll be fine in a few minutes,' the man replied. He was in obvious agony, lying in the fetal position, still clasping his hands there at his groin. At her persistence, however, he finally allowed her to help. She gently took his hands away and laid them to the side, loosened his pants and put her hands inside. She administered tender and artful massage for several long moments and asked, 'How does that feel'? He replied: It feels great, but I still think my thumb's broken!

That's easy. To convey a joke that is not from the ice age, No ice age jokes? Now that's cold! Now what's wrong with ice age jokes? I mean we have great jokes from back then! Like: What weighs 4 tons and has 16 wheels? A woolly mammoth on skates! Swimming pools then had rules - like everyone had to wear trunks! Mammoths might seem to have no problem in that regard, they always had trunks! But there were problems - like in some places, two mammoths could not go into a pool at the same time. tap tap. You're supposed to ask "why?" I'll tell you anyway - because because between the two of them, there was just one pair of trunks! In any case, Mammoths got thrown out of the pool if they couldn't keep their trunks up. Also, would hope that there are less mean spirited, thinly veiled slurs that insult entire races, or polarize one political party against another. And, imo, less toilet humour. What's wrong with race jokes - they're not mean - see: How do crazy runners go through the forest? They take the psycho path. Did you hear about the marathon runner who ran for three hours but only moved two feet? He only had two feet! How did the barber win the foot race? He took a short cut. <insert my world-famous "Polly Ticks" joke here> And toilet humor? Well, I see your point if they neglect to flush afterwards... Seriously, surely there could be less mean hearted joked jokes - of any kind. What I also object to mostly on this board is discussion with hardly any attempt (or none at all) of humor in it ...
