I'm brunette and i'm really offended by your jokes! I'm one to take a joke but they are just plain MEAN! I used to be blonde so i kinda find them funny, but the brunette ones are not very nice so... i'm just gona go cry now... lol.

Seriously man! Be nice!

Why dont brunettes get coffee breaks?

Cause it takes too long to retrain them!! ;-)

[Becky]

Why are brunette jokes so short?

So men can remember them

I'm with you Tango!

Any 'joke' is going to be 'horrible' to someone or something ... I suggest you just delete the Joke thread.

No, that was not a joke.

If it was full of anti-male jokes, I'm sure you'd feel the same

The recent joke thread has something that involves everybody somehow, but its all in good humour I'm sure everyone will try not to post too many jokes all about the same thing, but it would be a shame to delete/lock it as there are some really funny ones in there.

Bex ... you can fill the whole forum up with "muckshifter" jokes, I would not be offended ... I just would not read them.

There is ALWAYS going to be someone who will take offence, especially if taken personally.

So your a brunette ... so what, did the "joke" say Bex this or Bex that ??? But you took offence?? oh I know its a woman thing, men aint brunettes they have brown hair ... am I joking? should I put smilies in?

You know, I haven't read the new thread, maybe as a 'mod' I had better get overthere quick and start deleting any I think would offend anybody ... that should be easy, just delete the whole thing, then I'll only offend Quad.

Better go and take me happy pills now ... 'cos I think I may have offended all the people on this thread and will have to eat humbly pie.

Youse can all take the micky outta me all you like

If they funny, I'll laugh.

In fact, I'd be flattered

All the funnies in thread number 4 look acceptable to me, FWIW, nowt offensive there, to my mind.

Now I just gotta think of 5 brunette jokes, 5 blonde jokes, 5 redhead jokes, 5..............

Fair point, Mucks

I am not offended, and neither did I take the jokes personally. I think the point that myself and T&S were trying to make is that blondes and brunettes have been targeted a lot in the joke threads. I don't pretend to be a feminist, but I could rant all day about the sexual discrimination that exists, especially in 'male dominated' areas such as IT. While men continue to think it funny to make fun of women in such an area, how can we hope to progress?

The same goes for women in 'female dominated' areas - they shouldn't make fun of men either.

I'm not trying to be an argumentative spoil-sport here, and I hope it's not taken as such. By all means, make jokes about women! But make jokes about other things too

I'm not intelligent enough to answer that question, Men v Woman.

I learned looong ago that a Woman is a different person, I live and let live, I hate being drawn into argumentative situations and usually just walk as, as I will here.

I'm pleased to see I did not upset or offend you.
