 So....... Adolf Hitler dies (hurrah) and goes up to heaven, goes up to the Pearly Gates, but lo and behold it's St. Peter's day off and Jesus is handling things. Hitler says to Jesus, 'can i come in please?' Jesus says, and i quote 'fuck off, you killed 6 million of my brethren and my dad knows how many others', to which Hitler replies, 'that's not fair, i was misrepresented, it wasnt only me'. Jesus shakes his head and says, 'no, no way, you aint getting in here, fuck off.' Hitler, feeling hard done by, tries one more time,'come on Jesus' he says, 'i'l give you an Iron Cross'. Jesus thinks about it and says to Hitler, 'hang on, i'l go and have a word with me dad'. So, off Jesus trots and goes to see God. 'Dad', says Jesus,'there's this bloke at the door and i'm not sure wether to let him in or not' he continued. 'Well who is it?' Enquired God. 'Well, it's Adolf Hitler' Said Jesus. ' Adolf fucking Hitler' God exclaimed. 'He killed 6 million of your
 brethren and i know of quite a few others, there's no way he's coming in' God ranted. Jesus pleaded, 'oh go on dad, let him in, he's promised me an Iron Cross'. God spluttered, then exclaimed, 'an Iron fucking Cross, you could'nt even carry a wooden one'!
 
Is this a Nazi joke?
 
Will i be... dare i say it...Crucified?
 
Jel, just trying to lighten the mood.

So I should sympathize with people who don't know Nazi jokes aren't funny? Sorry, but nobody is that stupid. Every Bernard Manning knows precisely why his jokes aren't funny and why most people choose not to tell them. They simply decide they don't care and tell them anyway. So it's their choice and they must take the consequences. They're no more handicapped than I am, and like me, they're responsible for their actions.

>>Humour involving real problems or disabilities is not necessarily the same thing as humour at the expense of real problems or disabilities. I mean, look at The Office- if David Brent says something howlingly inappropriate about women/blacks/homosexuals etc etc, is it funny because he's managed to work them into a joke, or because he's such a colossal wanker that he doesn't see why he shouldn't say that? It's the latter. It's not funny because of the subject matter. The Office takes the piss out of people who tell jokes about people with disabilities, thinking they're actually funny. We know they're not, so we can laugh at the idiots who think they are.

>> 

>>My stepfather used to come home and tell me all the latest jokes he'd heard about the Holocaust or women or foreigners. I don't think he ever understood (well, maybe at the end) that I wasn't laughing at his jokes, I was laughing at the sad git who thought they were funny. I have plenty of reasons to dislike jokes about autism, but I'm all in favour of making the people who tell them look like idiots.

I noticed one day as I was sitting down, leaning slightly to one side, I felt a *plop* as a little roll of fat was birthed into existence around my floating ribs...as a tall skinny type and gym freak for most of my life it was one of the most disgusting, yet funny, experiences I've ever had. Relating it to other people has been quite funny...does that make me bad for making fun of fat people? Can I no longer do it after losing the weight...?
