Truly successful jokes have a ring of truth to them that people can identify with and see the humor. Many of these jokes do just that like #2 and #12. Then again, some of them are just vulgar or deliberate attempts to diminish America in a manner that smacks of sour grapes. Not funny or interesting.
I didn't write the jokes they were from American Comedians......I'm just the messenger.

I don't think anyone has any basis to complain about Graham's jokes.
Graham warned us before posting that they would offend some people. He was advised by many to continue. His only mistake was starting a new thread. Had he continued by posting in the old thread, the warnings would have been right there at the start of the thread so new readers could see his misgivings.
As far as the jokes are concerned, many of them are old jokes I had seen previously. I found a few that I didn't consider humorous, but that's par for the course with any joke collection. I personally am not offended by jokes about Americans. Some of them I consider descriptive and some are not. Stereotypes abound. I did find some new ones that I will pass along to a group I share jokes with.
I would like to encourage Graham to continue and not let this experience discourage him. On the whole, his jokes are enjoyable and I find them a good source. I look forward to reading any new postings from him. They are not ALL funny, but enough of them are to make him a valued source. I have had my jokes fall flat too.
And he was considerate enough to delete #7
To many of them are true. It got sad.

I did use quote reply. It was to the long post by dirtfarmer
This thread and it's author is still here? Why? The "jokes" weren't funny. Grahams lame excuse that he was "just the messenger" and the "jokes" came from American comedians doesn't alter the fact that the OP was stupid, offensive and unnecessary. And to top it off he blasts one of us with such words as "stupid c***t". You're 82 years old, Graham? You're old enough to know better. Your skin is fit for anything? That's a lie. I don't know know about Charlie and his ugly wife, Camilla, but his mother most certainly would not have approved.
[quote=ragon]This thread and it's author is still here? Why?
Because the jokes are funny.
Some only somewhat funny. So, what.
If you can't laugh, don't read his posts.
I know I will and so will many others.
