This post is getting silly. What about "The white mans grave" or is that not PC as well.:unhappy:
Agree with Happy Jack not worth a reply
Noted this thread has done a Topsy whilst I was not looking. It has really sprouted. My initial thought was as suggested by the above two venerable gentlemen.
Being blunt, my attitude is very much that so called 'political correctness' has been taken far too far. It now amounts to censorship, essentially. Now, to be clear, I have no tolerance of any form of discrimination. But, believe me, that intolerance extends to so-called 'positive discrimination' which I consider an insult to minorities and unjust to the majority.
I recall Sir John Wolfenden, later Lord Wolfenden being guest of honour at our school prize-giving in 1958 (or was it 1959). It was at the height of the debate over comprehensive education. I always recall one of his lines. It was asserted by those in favour of comprehensive education that failure to get into grammar school could result in an inferiority complex. Sir John's comment - 'One has to accept that those with an inferiority complex are invariably inferior'. Very politically incorrect, maybe even then, but it does have an element of truth.
I am rambling - and remember my initial thought. I got one of those emails yesterday - from a friend who does not have a single discriminatory bone in her body. It is a list of potential Tommy Cooper jokes. I was half-minded to feed it into the 'Jakes Bad or Good thread' but it seems to fit here. On reflection, my only reservation was over those where there might be a hint of mocking the disabled. See what you think:
Subject: Tommy Cooper Lives, or examples of British Humour !!
The Grim Reaper came for me last night, and I beat him off with a vacuum cleaner. Talk about Dyson with death.
I went to the cemetery yesterday to lay some flowers on a grave. As I was standing there I noticed 4 grave diggers walking about with a coffin, 3 hours later and they’re still walking about with it. I thought to myself, they've lost the plot!!
My daughter asked me for a pet spider for her birthday, so I went to our local pet shop and they were £70!!! Blow this, I thought, I can get one cheaper off the web.
I was at an ATM yesterday when a little old lady asked if I could check her balance, so I pushed her over.
I start a new job in Seoul next week. I thought it was a good Korea move.
Statistically, 6 out of 7 dwarves are not Happy.
My neighbour knocked on my door at 2:30am this morning, can you believe that, 2:30am?! Luckily for him I was still up playing my Bagpipes.
Paddy says "Mick, I'm thinking of buying a Labrador ...

I saw a poor old lady fall over today on the ice!! At least I presume she was poor - she only had £1.20 in her purse.
My girlfriend thinks that I’m a stalker. Well, she's not exactly my girlfriend yet.
I woke up last night to find the ghost of Gloria Gaynor standing at the foot of my bed. At first I was afraid.......then I was petrified.
A wife says to her husband you're always pushing me around and talking behind my back.
He says what do you expect? You're in a wheelchair.
Two Muslims have crashed a speedboat into the Thames barrier in London. Police think it might be the start of Ram-a-dam.
Sat opposite an Indian lady on the train today, she shut her eyes and stopped breathing. I thought she was dead, until I saw the red spot on her forehead and realised she was just on standby.
They’ve had to cancel the panto 'Jack & the Beanstalk' in Birmingham ,Bristol, Oldham, Bradford, Burnley, Leicester, Luton and London. Apparently the giant couldn't smell any Englishmen.
The wife was counting all the 1p’s and 2p's out on the kitchen table when she suddenly got very angry and started shouting and crying for no reason. I thought to myself, "She's going through the change."
When I was in the pub I heard a couple of plonkers saying that they wouldn’t feel safe on an aircraft if they knew the pilot was a woman. What a pair of sexists. I mean, it’s not as if she’d have to reverse the bloody thing!
Bought some ‘rocket salad’ yesterday but it went off before I could eat it!
A teddy bear is working on a building site. He goes for a tea break and when he returns he notices his pick has been stolen.
The bear is angry and reports the theft to the foreman. The foreman grins at the bear and says, ”Oh, I forgot to tell you, today’s the day the teddy bears have their pick nicked."
Murphy says to Paddy "What ya talkin to an envelope for?"
"I'm sending a voicemail ya thick sod!"
Just got back from my mate's funeral. He died after being hit on the head with a tennis ball. It was a lovely service.
19 paddies go to the cinema, the ticket lady asks "Why so many of you?"
Mick replies, "The film said 18 or over."
An Asian fellow has moved in next door. He has travelled the world, swum with sharks, wrestled bears and climbed the highest mountain.
It came as no surprise to learn his name was "Bindair Dundat".
No virus found in this message.
I do like 'Statistically, 6 out of 7 dwarves are not Happy.' Leads me to something on Facebook today:
And that's me in trouble with the distaff side!
AGAIN.
And if you want to belong to the most persecuted minority, join me as someone with even a hint of English blood in Scotland, particularly at this time of the ridiculously long drawn out period of the referendum debate.
