Telling a joke is a cooperative effort; it requires that the teller and the audience mutually agree in one form or another to understand the narrative which follows as a joke.
The context of the joke telling in turn leads into a study of joking relationships, a term coined by anthropologists to refer to social groups within a culture who engage in institutionalized banter and joking. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Therefore, if you are not with it, leave it.

Humor must be somewhat based in truth to work. That's why jokes about Liberals work so well. And why they get so upset about them.

So by your definition the humor used segregates us into social groups. Therefore it is the effect and possibly intent of these pictures of dogs ******** on the Secretary Of State's face and the rest of what appears to be "joke" aimed at one group that are of a mostly single political view, to divide us into separate social groups. I guess I would not be comfortable in your social group, thats Ok ,but I though this was a Corvette Forum and what brought us together was our interest and love of Corvettes. Thats why i'm here. If your intent is to further refine the group to a smaller more single minded subset then you are succeeding.

Not to get too personal, but as I have shown you consistently comment on what you do / do not like and fail to make any attempt to contribute to humor the group.

Please, lets not turn this into Facebook, where your profile clearly identifies your political ideology.

Should you wish to debate things, I'd recommend going to something like yellowbullet.com.

Another point is Mrs. Clinton is no longer the Secretary Of State. She is a presidential candidate, which (for better or worse) provides opportunity for all sorts of jokes. Her actions also entice a host of jokes as well in a similar manner as the late Robin Williams had of politicians in "Good Morning Vietnam".

I understand that this the CF but do you open and read every thread posted? If you find that some of us that post humor not to your liking, maybe you should put that person on the Ignore list, that way you won't see what they posted. Just a suggestion.

Here is a thought. If I dont like the show on TV I change the channel. If you dont feel jokes are for you skip them and just read the rest of the Forum.

Here's a late one, but it made me laugh.


THIS IS THE LAST MESSAGE ABOUT MY DOG!
PLEASE DON'T BOTHER ME ANYMORE!

In response to all the messages about my dog: I'm sick and tired of answering questions about him. Yes, he bit 6 people wearing Obama T-Shirts, 4 wearing Hillary T-Shirts, 2 drivers blasting rap music from their cars, 9 teenagers wearing their pants below their butt cracks, 3 flag burners, and a Muslim taxi driver.

FOR THE LAST TIME...the dog is not for sale! I do not approve of his smoking, but he says it helps get the "bad taste" out of his mouth.
