Because it's not a joke, it's an insult. And offensive to boot.

I think maybe you're easily offended. Do you think making suggestions in big fonts should increase the likelihood of those suggestions being adopted?
Merry Christmas by the way.

I'm glad you don't feel insulted. There's nothing wrong with bad jokes, maybe yours are among the better ones and it's only my opinion anyway.

I'll try to think of some and you can criticise them individually if you like.

It's a bit like my favourite:
you can put hot things in a vacuum flask and it they stay hot
and you can put cold things in and they stay cold.
But how does it know?


I got a vacuum flask from Santa
Now I know how it works I'm going to use it on tomorrow's ride
I think I'll take soup and ice cream

I suggest this thread be locked. Some people have tried to contribute genuine - albeit old and well-worn - jokes. Others have hijacked it as a vehicle for their petty little prejudices.

Insult..No.
Offensive..What?????????

More bad jokes please, the worst wins a prize :wink:

What makes a bad joke? Unfunny? Not sexist, racist etc, certainly

How might one identify a plain-clothes policeperson? (They do not identify themself)

By their posture, how they observe, they address people as 'sir', 'madam', probably wear a uniform leather jacket

Is that bad enough?

Bad jokes then! I just thought, in a moment of idleness, I'd see what our cross-channel neighbours say about us Anglais fous (incidentally, the term les rosbifs is all but obsolete - if it ever did have any currency). If you don't speak French, don't worry! Just pump them into Google Translate, they'll translate OK...
(Q): Qu'est-ce qui est long, dur et qui debouche sur 40 millions de trous-du-cul?
(R): Le tunnel sous la manche.

Deux vieux anglais jouent au golf.
Sur la route voisine arrive un cortège d'enterrement.
Le premier anglais arrête de jouer, enlève sa casquette, tandis que passe le cortège funèbre.
- Ah!, dit l'autre, Quel civisme ! je n'aurais jamais imaginé qu'un joueur comme vous se découvrirait sur le passage d'un enterrement !
- C'est à dire que nous avons tout de même été mariés pendant 40 ans.

Un anglais est assis sur un banc public à côté d'un français
- Attention, un guêpe, dit l'anglais.
- On dit une guêpe
- Aow. Vous avez de bons yeux!

Un jeune étudiant français est envoyé par ses parents passer un mois dans une famille riche anglaise. Le père lui fait faire le tour de la propriété.
- C'est un terrain de golf que vous avez là? dit le français. Magnifique! Vous jouez souvent?
- Non, j'ai essayé une fois, mais ça ne m'a pas plu. Trop fatigant.
Puis ils aperçoivent deux chevaux superbes dans un enclos.
- Ah? dit le français. Vous faites de l'équitation!
- Non, j'ai essayé une fois, mais ça ne m'a pas plu. Trop fatigant...
La visite se poursuit et ils longent un court de tennis.
- Et je suppose que...
- Non, non, dit l'Anglais. J'ai essayé une fois, mais ça ne m'a pas plu.Trop fatigant.
A ce moment-là, un jeune homme s'avance vers eux.
- Ah, mon jeune ami, je vous présente mon fils, William.
Le Français lui serre la main puis se tourne vers le père:
- Fils unique, je présume...
Suppose that this room is a lift. The support breaks and down we go with ever-increasing velocity.
Let us pass the time by performing physical experiments...

Plus One, I am half English, don't mind English jokes in French, I could understand the last one without translation :wink:
Hope no-one else was offended

Hi,
Come on Cyril Haearn that's a bad joke :)
Even If I could understand the French I doubt I would be offended.
We had any number of bad jokes at school and no one was ever offended, even the racist ones, best mate was a scot :)
As you get older you tend not to be offended much / or don't bite.
My bad joke was as others have said SO Lame, if it offended "then grow some" I.M.O.
See what I did there I took a leaf out of someone else's book :mrgreen:

Have a good one (American) and lets get some more miles in next year :)
