whats' the difference between Jesus Christ
and an oil painting???

- you only need one nail, to hold up a picture.

and this one!

you're right - if it's a large picture (particularily a landscape)
2 nails, would be preferable.

Some would find that offensive Adrian - let's hope they don't see it.

ooohh - i'm sure they will see it, then we can discuss
the merits of humour, at greater length.

Look forward to it!

Do you have a favourite comedian/funny tv show/etc?

Cam, think Adrian already knows that I found that one offensive.

Wasn't speaking about you SJC - anyway, let's get back to the humour topic.

What some people find offensive other people find funny. For example I find it offensive when people make jokes about cruelty to animals whereas other people find them funny.

I personally did not find this joke that adrian posted offensive because I am not religious. But I can see why some people might be offended.

It takes all sorts to make a world dosen't it. I guess tolerance of each other views is the key to life.

...that's the beauty of humour/jokes.
someone will always find something to offend them.

Good points Grim. Neither am I religious but, like you, I can see why some would find this type of humour offensive.

Tolerance is good up to a certain point - but where do we draw the line? I think in certain cases, too much is tolerated and that can lead to as many problems as intolerance.

..then perhaps, you should consider avoiding the Jokes Forum pages,
or choose a site, without a Jokes, forum page.

I know but you said that some people would find this offensive and I just pointed out that I did.

However I do agree with Grims points.

Adrian I think you've maybe read something into what I said that isn't there. I wasn't referring to tolerance in humour, I was speaking about in/tolerance in general.

I thought it was funny....but then I have a warped sense of humour....but most of my family would find it deeply offensive..then they are unlikely to be on a BB forum...
