I heard that joke over 10 years ago...thought it was funny then, and still do. I don't find it offensive in any way. You have to remember...We have become so PC that EVERYTHING offends someone! I actually copied and pasted the joke on my Facebook page, thank you!

Graham,
I read your joke among other things you've posted or commented about here on the Hog. As a woman, I did not find your joke offensive, just funny. Please don't let one person's opinion stop you from posting or sharing your opinion with others here. Your advice is too valuable to others to go. "

No reason for it being moved to the Attic. Except to share it with the Hogs that don't subscribe to the General Chit Chat section."

I thought it was a cute joke and laughed at it; life went on.
However you ask about the appropriateness of the joke and here is the bind.
This is nothing less than a sociopathic twist upon the ubiquitous "dumb blond joke".
As such it is a sexist attack on men in general and must be sent to the attic under the zero-tolerance rule."

To all you people who have bothered to take the time to support this post and my objection, I thank you very much indeed.
To me instances like this are very important, I am not saying this joke is important, that would be ridiculous, but to be pushed
aside and and told my actions deserve to be downtrodden and regraded by someone else is important to me. If we go through
life, being told our rights are not good and proper, by someone like admin, who, may I say "we pay his wages", is downright
wrong, in my humble opinion. We are not naughty children being told to go and stand in the corner because he says so and he should realise, after all you good people have responded and do a "U turn and put the joke back where it was intended to be and started off, in the General Chit Chat Section.
Thanks again for your support, I am chuffed (delighted) to bits,
Cheers and Beers to all of you above...
