Are we allowed to say when something's not funny? Well, that last one is not funny, Over...

Must be my rather weird sense of humour but I laugh louder each time I look at the images. There is no visual nasty, it's all in the words.

To go where no man etc

Apparently we're allowed to say anything except mentioning a certain American prisoner in an Italian jail.

I've enjoyed many of your postings in the past, but I feel this one is in poor taste. George Takei is a Myspace friend who I admire for being so open about his sexuality.

I don't know if she's guilty or innocent, but I don't feel it's right to censor someone for their support of her. I've always held that the best way to combat an opinion with which you didn't agree is to state your own reasoned counter-argument. Censorship is not the way to go.

Interesting, you only mention Takei and not Shatner and Nimoy.

When I said "I hope it's no too much", it was because of the sexual content of the joke, not because I think this is something agains't homosexuality or George Takei. There's so many "hetero" jokes, with which we may be open, but "homo" jokes are still somewhat taboo. I'm sure Takei wouldn't take this joke badly.

Or not as much as a lawyer who hears lawyer's jokes, blondes and so on. Those can be very nasty and unfair.

It's amazing how a lame joke can be made funny

The iPad/Mac/iPhone is in very poor taste.

Me love shiny things. Does that make me a bad person?

A very successful lawyer parked his brand new Lexus in front of the office, ready to show it off to his colleagues. As he got out, a truck came along too close to the curb and completely tore off the driver's door. Fortunately, a cop in a police car was close enough to see the accident and pulled up behind the Lexus, his lights flashing.

But, before the cop had a chance to ask any questions, the lawyer started screaming hysterically about how his Lexus, which he had just picked up the day before, was now completely ruined and would never be the same, no matter how the body shop tried to make it new again.

After the lawyer finally wound down from his rant, the cop shook his head in disgust and disbelief. "I can't believe how materialistic you lawyers are," he said. "You are so focused on your possessions that you neglect the most important things in life."

"How can you say such a thing?" asked the lawyer.

The cop replied, "Don't you even realize that your left arm is missing? It got ripped off when the truck hit you!"

"OH, MY GOD!" screamed the lawyer.

"MY ROLEX!"

Typical of the cops... rather than go after the hit and run driver he stops to take a report.

Some lawyer jokes can be quite offensive.
