Subject: (uwvax.149) net.jokes: please- no more cruel/sick stuff
Please, everybody, let's have no more cruel and mean-spirited stuff
in net.jokes. A good question to ask oneself is, "Would I feel
comfortable telling this joke in the presence of the person or
persons that the joke is about?" As an example, I don't think any
reasonable person could imagine telling a joke about Natalie Wood's
recent death in the presence her family. Similarly, although Jim
Brady would doubtless be game for a little good-natured ribbing, I
don't think either of the two recent jokes about him would fall into
that category.
Uwvax!greg walks into a doctor's office:
"Doctor, doctor, it hurts when I read offensive jokes!", he says.
"Well then, don't read them!", replies the doctor.
(I don't think James Brady could even \understand/ the jokes about him, so
no problem. Similarly, jokes don't travel well under water.)
