Joke

[colin(bridgend)]

Ken - I hope this joke passes the MODERATOR TEST - LOL

A man doing market research knocked on a door and was greeted by a young woman with three small children running around at her feet.

He says, "I'm doing some research for Vaseline. Have you ever used the product?"

She says, "Yes. My husband and I use it all the time."

"And if you don't mind me asking, what do you use it for?"

"We use it for sex." was the reply

The researcher was a little taken back. "Usually people lie to me and say that they use it on a child's bicycle chain or to help with a gate hinge. But, in fact, I know that most people do use it for sex. I admire you for your honesty. Since you've been frank so far, can you tell me exactly how you use it for sex?"

The woman says, "I don't mind telling you at all. My husband and I put it on the door knob and it keeps the kids out."

And you thought it was gonna be a dirty joke...

Give him another yellow card Your Moddyship and after that a red one. I blushed all the way down to my ankles over that joke. My mind was running amok with all kinds of perversions that I thought might be the punchline. I now feel corrupted :O(

Now should you be in such a state of mind and body perhaps the combination of Viagra and Vaseline might help.

Hmmmm indeed Ken,

I am still learning the rules of forum etiquette and now feel victimised after your recent ticking off and amendment to a recent joke that I posted.

That joke twice used the dreaded (s**) word and because of the forum etiquette of a 12 year old not being allowed to know anthing of this taboo subject, you amended the (*e*) word to football, which at the time I thought was fair enough albeit we live in an enlightened 21st Century and thought the rule was perhaps a tiny bit antiquated.

My point is, how does the three above references to (**x) differ from my earlier use of the word, and how on earth does the derogatory term for a gay person, alongside the slang term for faeces be allowed to remain in the joke "Innocent Children" on this very forum.

I really don't mind being pointed in the right direction if I slip up and I will never take offence at my posts being amended or deleted if neccessary, but I do feel the Mods need to be consistent in their efforts to apply the rules.

What a difficult task you have !

Cheers,

Ken.

PS. Just a thought for the techies among the staff, but would a password protected 'over 18' section be feasible, to lessen your workload or would it simply invite more extreme jokes and require further policing ?

In my humble opinion, being an old fashioned father of 2 now-grown-up children, your excellent joke was just a bit more explicit than Colin's.

I hesitated over the Innocent Children joke too. I almost decided to put a star in the word sh*t, but again where do we stop.

The PCV forum is meant to be family oriented, and the mods try to observe the general guidelines of what is suitable "before the watershed". Having said that, in this "enlightented 21st century" there are all sorts of things children are exposed to before 9pm. I'm not sure I'd use the word 'enlightened' either!

Whenever I'm undecided about the suitability of a joke, or any topic for discussion, I try to visualise a typical scene on a caravan park with two families pitched next to eachother, getting chatting, parents talking, and (young) children hanging around and listening in. I try to imagine how it would sound in that situation, and whether it would be appropriate.

We all have different tastes and standards, mods included. We try to be as liberal as possible, and a line has to be drawn somewhere, but as we've said many times before, everyone would draw that line in a slightly different place.
