What's black and white, black and white, black and white, etc.?

[Fiona]

A nun rolling down the stairs.

What's black and white and laughs?

The nun that pushed her.



no babies were injured in the making of this post

[Padraig18]

1. What's next, Polack jokes?

:eyes:

[Fiona]

3. Not at all

the nun was Polish, if that helps.

[RagingInMiami]

56. Speaking of ethnic jokes

I got a good Irish joke for you Paddy. What's the difference between and Irish wedding and an Irish wake?
(I spent 18 months in Dublin and the Irish loved this joke.)

[Deja Q]

86. Oy! Leave Jackson Pollock out of this!!

:crazy:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

103. Lighten up man!

damn!

[Placebo]

2. Are you TRYING to get banned?

lol please stop, we don't want you to be sent to the cornfields.

[Fiona]

4. banned?

for jokes in the lounge? Is there an army of pissed-off nuns alerting on me?

[Padraig18]

5. One of the reason people can be banned for is...

... repeated rule violations, resulting in locked posts.

*cough, cough*

[Fiona]

7. Why are you coughing?

I never touched your balls.

It was a light-hearted attempt at humor.

[Placebo]

6. Dead babies + pushing nuns downstairs =

BANISHMENT a POSSIBILITY.

[Padraig18]

8. We have a winner!

*nod*

[Fiona]

10. Padraig

This was a joke I heard as a little girl, more than 35 years ago. Is it REALLY grounds for banishment?

[Padraig18]

12. Post a few more, and maybe you'll get the answer.

Personally, I wouldn't, but that's just me...

[Fiona]

14. should I feel threatened?

Do you have some sort of "in" with the powers-that-be?

[Padraig18]

18. No.

I just have a very good understanding of the rules at DU.

[Fiona]

23. then

I'm sure you'll be so kind as to direct me to the rule against telling nun jokes.

[Padraig18]

26. My pleasure.

29. hrmm....

scanned it with my own eyes and even used a text search, and I'll be damned (does that offend you) if I couldn't find the word "nun" anywhere in there.

[Fiona]

9. I suppose so...

I saw other dead-baby jokes here, and those posters are presumably still among the living. I was trying to tweak the internet-nannies, and it seems to have worked.

[Placebo]

11. Just try and have some fun...

without posting stuff that could potentially really offend someone or piss them off or be seriously misinterpreted. :)

[Fiona]

13. I haven't been here too long

but one thing I've learned is that somebody will take offense to damn near anything.

[Placebo]

15. That's true too.

People offend easy, that's just a rule. :)

[Fiona]

17. Well

I heartily apologize to any injured nuns who are reading this thread.

Sisters, you're OK in my book.

[smbolisnch]

16. It's not as if you made a yo mama joke.

Dead babies just are NOT funny. :wtf:

[Fiona]

19. But that's the beauty of humor

EVERYTHING can be made funny. It's all about the unexpected. Dead baby jokes are funny precisely BECAUSE people consider the topic taboo. That's why most comedians use sex, vulgarity, death, and other topics not normally discussed.

[Wat_Tyler]

20. Woody Allen made a joke about the Holocaust in 'Deconstructing Harry'

Pretty shocking, actually.

[smbolisnch]

21. Sorry, that's bullshit.

Maybe you could ask admin if you can start a dead baby jokes DU group? :eyes:

[Fiona]

25. No

I don't think it requires a group. The lounge will do fine. Thanks for your concern, though.

[smbolisnch]

27. Whatever blows your skirt up.

[Pithlet]

38. Dead baby jokes are not funny.

I have a pretty warped sense of humor. But, there are limits. There are things that simply aren't funny, no matter how you look at them. Joking about them on the lounge goes beyond bad taste and judgment. People don't just consider the topic taboo. There is nothing pleasant, happy, or positive about the image of dead babies. No irony there. That isn't "taboo". That's life.

Besides, there isn't anything remotely witty or intelligent about them, either. There are some jokes that are offensive, and insensitive, but that are damn funny. I would never post them here, but anyway. Nothing intelligent or witty about a dead baby joke. Nothing. And anyone who would post them, let alone tell them, is just a crass boob.

[smbolisnch]

40. Well said!

Wish I had been able to say it so well. :)

[Fiona]

44. The funny thing about funny

is that what YOU think is funny isn't universal. What *I* think is funny isn't universal.

If you think sensitive topics can't ever be funny, you've never heard Lenny Bruce or George Carlin or even Jonathan Swift. Eating the Irish... it still cracks me up. But the Irish probably think it's not funny.

[Pithlet]

48. You're right.

I like Lenny Bruce, and George Carlin, et al. Because they're funny. There is actually some wit and intelligence in there somewhere. And funny is not a universal thing. But unfunny is. There is nothing funny about a dead baby. Simply saying so doesn't make it so. Saying that red is blue doesn't make it blue. Where's the wit?

There is shock factor. But anyone with two brain cells and the ability to communicate can shock someone. No talent in that, whatsoever. No real humor. Just a "I don't give a fuck what other people think. I'll make shocking 'jokes'. Dead baby! Dead baby! See how edgy I am! Look at me!" It's pathetically disgusting, actually.

[Fiona]

49. and yet

I'm sure there are people who think eating the Irish could never be funny, simply because it's offensive.

And yet it's funny.

[Pithlet]

54. But, again

There is some wit involved, there. You're missing that whole point, I think.

The only reason to tell a dead baby joke isn't for social commentary. It isn't to point out any flaws in ourselves, in humanity, or to point out absurdities. It's just to shock. Dead babies is a sad part of life that is unavoidable. No human frailties or foibles to mock there. It just is. No wit. No intelligence. Just crass shock value.

[Fiona]

111. I see

so I'm just not funny ENOUGH. I'll try to do better in the future.

[BlueFlu]

115. Nope... you are not funny, PERIOD. n/t

[LincolnMcGrath]

39. DON'T BE TALKIN BOUT MY MAMA

YOU !@#$%^&*( !!!

[Pithlet]

34. If you hadn't already been about the dead baby jokes

perhaps this wouldn't have drawn the attention it has.

I don't find the nun joke offensive in the least. But, your attempt at making some kind of point is a little transparent. And I think your baby jokes went beyond offensive. I don't care if your banned or not. I just don't see what is so wrong with calling people out when they tell "jokes" that go beyond the beyond. I guess that means I'm not one of the kook kids. Oh well.

[Fiona]

60. And yet

downthread, you admitted to laughing at a Helen Keller joke.

See my point?

[Pithlet]

64. Nope

Those jokes actually had some humor to them, even if they were wrong. Because my point isn't that you should never make bad or tastelss jokes. Okay?

Got any knee slapping Tsunami victim jokes up your sleeve? That should garner you quite the following here in the lounge. Why don't you give those a whirl. They will deserve their own thread, of course.

[Fiona]

67. Are you serious?

Helen Keller jokes are OK, but dead baby jokes are out of bounds?

[Pithlet]

72. Not. My. Point.

Helen Keller jokes are not "okay". But, they're funny. I can understand why someone would think otherwise and be offended. Baby jokes are not "okay". They're also not funny. There's nothing about the situation of a dead baby that is even remotely unexpected, or ironic, or any of the things that makes humor what it is, even if it is tasteless.

Come one. If it is funny, surely you can defend it with arguments other than "humor isn't universal". Surely you can tell me what is so unexpected, or ironic, or topical about a dead baby? Come on. Let's hear it.

Besides, if I told a Hellen Keller joke, and someone was offended, I'd have the good sense to know why, and knock it off.

[Fiona]

73. You're funnier than any Helen Keller joke I've heard

you honestly don't see the irony? You can laugh at a blind/deaf woman, but a dead baby is out of bounds, and you REALLY see a dividing line between the two?

[Pithlet]

80. The HK jokes

at least have the minimal value of making ironic comment about living with a disability. The dead baby jokes don't even have that bare minimum irony. If it was a dead baby joke involving bad babysitters, for example, then okay, MAYBE you could make that argument. But jokes along the lines of "What do you call a dead baby in a pool..." have bugger all to do with anything other than dead babies.

But, like I said. Go ahead with the baby jokes, if corpses of small children tickle you so much. Just expect to face some distaste is all. And not be so shocked about it when it happens. I mean, really. Duh.

[Fiona]

91. I'm sorry

but your distinction is meaningless to me. You think it's OK to laugh at a deaf/blind woman who was a wonderful, intelligent, thinker who overcame unbelievable obstacles, but laughing at a non-identifiable baby is out of bounds.

I sincerely do not see the distinction.

ANYTHING can be funny. Being offended by the joke does not detract from its humor. In fact, all the best humor is predicated on offense. Ever heard Richard Pryor?

[Pithlet]

95. Okay

ANything can be funny? Okay. What is 1+1? 2. 2! Get it? hahahahahaha.

But, seriously. You still haven't answerd my questions as to why dead corpses of little children are so funny. What, exactly, makes it funny?

[Fiona]

100. I will be happy to explain...

it shocks peoples' sense of propriety. That's funny.

Now explain to me why mocking a deaf/blind humanitarian is funny, but mocking a non-identified, non-existent neonate can never be funny.

[smbolisnch]

102. She has said several times that it WASN't funny.

[Fiona]

107. No

she admitted to laughing out loud at a Helen Keller joke.

[Pithlet]

108. Yes, but what I did NOT do

was act all shocked and befuddled when other people didn't find it funny.

[Pithlet]

112. And, just to clarify things

What I found most amusing about the HK jokes wasn't the jokes themselves, but the way they were interjected into this thread. While I do maintain that there IS a difference between those jokes and your super-hiLARious dead baby jokes, it isn't a very big one.

I certainly would't go around a party telling either, and expect everyone to admire me for my sparkling wit, let's just put it that way.

[Pithlet]

106. Sense of propriety?

You mean, they shouldn't feel badly about a dead baby? Or, do admit that it isn't so much funny as it is shocking. Which was my whole point. It is shocking, but it isn't funny, because people ARE supposed to feel badly aboud dead children. See? No funny.

So, people confronting the fact that dead babies make them sad or uncomfortable is rife for mining material? Again, ask anyone who lost a child. I'm sure they'll disabuse you of that notion.

[Fiona]

114. I think the parent

of a deaf/blind child would also not find humor in a Helen Keller joke. And yet you laughed.

[Pithlet]

116. Probably not

But, I woldn't tell it to them, now, would I?

In fact, I've NEVER told one in my entire life. I'm 0 for 0, unlike some other people in this thread.

[Fiona]

119. well that's clear...

laughing at such a joke is acceptable, but telling one is not. Thank you for delineating it.

[Pithlet]

121. I already clarified

that I wasn't laughing at the joke, but at the fact it was interjected the way it was. Please, do try to keep up.

[Fiona]

123. your lines

are getting muddier and muddier.

So a joke about a deaf/blind humanitarian are ONLY funny in a certain context. And a joke about a non-identified non-specific dead baby is NEVER funny.

I look forward to your further delineation, so I'll know what's funny and what's not.

[Pithlet]

127. No

My whole point. Is dead baby jokes aren't funny. That's all it really has been. Keep on with your wit. I'm sure there's a market for it somewhere. Dead babies! Wahoo!!!!! There aren't people here reading this who've lost children, but if there are, who cares? You're hilarious! That is all that matters.

[Fiona]

117. I get it...

we should laugh at deaf/blind children but not dead ones. It all makes sense now.

[Pithlet]

120. Wong!

Try again.

By the way, that friend I was talking about? Is a DU member. Feel better now?

[Fiona]

125. yeah

I feel better.

I'm positively giddy.

See? Humor!

[Pithlet]

128. Oh, you're so witty!

I was so naive to think I could go up against you. My, but have I learned my lesson.

[Fiona]

132. Well I'm sorry it was so painful

but it's never easy to learn the distinction between laughing at deaf/blind humanitarians and dead babies. It's a very fine line, and discovering exactly where it's drawn can be painful.

[Pithlet]

134. There is no fucking line.

And I'm done with you. I tell you that there is actually a DUer here who lost a child, and you chose to mock that. You are the lowest of the low. I thought you were just clueless. But, I was wrong. You really are vile.

[Fiona]

136. And what

if I told you a DUer had a blind/deaf child? Would you be abjectly apologetic about your prior laughing?

No, you wouldn't.

I wouldn't laugh in the face of a parent who lost a child. You're presuming that, and it's bullshit. You're saying some things are SO awful they can never be the subject of humor. And yet, I've already pointed out that racism, the holocaust, sexism, homophobia, etc. are ALL fodder for laughs.

If Mel Brooks can get a laugh out of the holocaust, it puts the lie to the idea that some things are out of bounds when it comes to humor.

Your feigned offense means nothing to me. I should laugh WITH you up to the Helen Keller level, but then back off at the dead baby level? Sorry, you don't get to decide that.

You can claim offense, but you can't legitimately claim what's funny and what's not. Otherwise, there wouldn't be thousands of dead baby jokes out there. Offense and humor are two very different realms.

[Pithlet]

137. Yes, I would

If I had laughed at that joke, and if I had unwittingly done so in front of one. I'm not an asshole.

[Fiona]

141. and neither am I

If I told a dead baby joke in front of a parent who had just lost a child (which I wouldn't do), I'd apologize and do all I could to alleviate the awkward situation.

You seem to think I LIKE dead babies because I told a joke about them. That's a silly misconception.

For the record - I don't like dead babies. I hope all babies live.

Feel better, Pithlet?

Also, for the record, I want ALL chickens to cross the road safely.

[Pithlet]

142. You did.

You're on an open forum. Someone who lost a baby very likely saw it. And when I pointed that out, you posted to someone else "Are you the parent who lost the baby-nun?"

You did do it. I never said you liked dead babies. I said your jokes were unfunny. Yes, I know, how dare I?

[BlueFlu]

24. Sure seems like someone is desperately seeking attention...

even if it is negative attention. Kinda like that screaming kid that seems to be at the back of every airplane I have the misfortune to have to fly in.

[Fiona]

30. Yes I crave attention...

and you can spoil my whole YEAR by putting me on ignore. Please don't!!! It'll hurt me EVER so much!

[short bus president]

22. Ha! Honest to GAWD I was on the phone with another DUer lamenting

the death of the dead baby joke thread, and she said there ought to be a nun joke thread!

Un-friggin-canny!

[Fiona]

28. heehee!

I am the goddess of uncanniness.

[LiviaOlivia]

31. A goddess? LOL

Do your parents know that you are up past your bedtime?

[Fiona]

35. My parents are dead

thank you so much for making fun of it.

[BlueFlu]

42. So, my aunt was a nun... and died falling down the stairs...

so thank you so much for making fun of it.

[Fiona]

50. well at least

she died for humor. That's a blessing.

[arwalden]

32. Oh I Love Nun Jokes! Helen Keller Jokes Crack Me Up Too!

How did Helen Keller burn her face?
She answered the iron.

What is Helen Keller's favorite color?
CORDUROY!

[Wat_Tyler]

33. Actually - I honestly did LOL at those.

Terrible, but hilarious.

[Pithlet]

37. Me, too. I admit it.

:spank:

[Fiona]

53. Pithlet...

shame on you! There's nothing funny about blind/deaf women!!

NOW do you see my point in the previous sub-thread?

[Pithlet]

57. You are so completely missing my point.

Wit. Intelligent humor. An actual point. Those are ALL MISSING in dead baby jokes!

Honestly, I can't believe I'm having this discussion. It's beyond bizarre.

[smbolisnch]

63. It is bizzare.

Why anyone would think that's funny is just beyond me. It takes a lot to shock me, it really does. Someone defending dead baby jokes shocks me. Actually, it sickens me :puke:

I think this person is just a kid, and I don't think they have the slightest clue as to what constitiutes humor. Don't waste your time.

[Fiona]

66. and you are completely missing MY point

which is that YOUR sense of humor isn't universal. Why is it cool that you laugh at Helen Keller jokes, but not dead baby jokes? Do you admit that perhaps your sense of humor is idiosyncratic and others might find something funny that you don't? Or is your sense of outrage and indignation universal?

[Pithlet]

68. I know my sense of humor isn't universal

It isn't cool that I laugh at Helen Keller jokes. I never said it was.

I'm not outraged, honey. I'm just telling you like it is. Keep on with the dead baby jokes. Har har har! Tsuanmi jokes are quite the hit now, I hear. Again, I'm sure you've got a few. Let em rip!

[Fiona]

69. So I'm supposed to accept

that YOUR level of tolerance is the universal level of humor?

Really, Pithlet, delineate for me why Helen Keller jokes can be funny, but dead baby jokes can NEVER be funny.

[Pithlet]

74. NO!!!!!!!

That isn't my point!!!

Tell me, why is the image of a dead baby funny? Can you tell me? What is so ironic? So topical?

Your dead baby jokes are to pornography what Lenny Bruce is to art. Lenny Bruce's jokes, while profane and somewhat tasteless, had redeaming social, political and artistic values. He was using his humor to comment on life, politics, and art. Your dead baby jokes don't comment on ANYTHING. They are not humor, because they do not use the shock of humor to advance any other message.

[Fiona]

77. explain to me

why mocking a wonderful humanitarian who was deaf and blind is funny. If you can do so, you're a better woman (or man) than I am.

I honestly don't see the difference between Helen Keller jokes and dead baby jokes. One seems to offend you more than the other, but I can't accept that as a universal truth.

[smbolisnch]

82. The bottom line here is this....

Nobody has jumped in this thread to defend what you are saying. Most people don't find dead baby jokes funny, and if they do, well that's a whole other cup of tea. You are being very crass and rude, so why don't you just stop? Why keep pushing?

[Fiona]

105. If I understand you correctly...

you're saying I should shut up because some people are offended.

Let's carry that thought through a little further....

I'm a 51-year old bisexual atheist woman with one tit (the other lost to cancer). Tell me exactly WHO I should shut up for. The christians? Men who hate one-titted women? Men or women who hate bisexuals?

I have a sense of humor. I never expected it to match everybody else's sense of humor, but I also never expected to be threatened and attacked by fellow liberals.

And you are mistaken - others HAVE jumped into this thread to defend what I'm saying, which is simply this: life is funny.

[smbolisnch]

109. "you're saying I should shut up because some people are offended."

No, no I'm not saying that. What I'm saying is that you have clearly upset the normally fun and laid back lounge with tasteless, humorless, idiotic comments. Initially people mentioned that it might not be a very cool thing to do, and you kept at it until you had an all out war going in here.

It's not a matter of it being you're right, it is just a matter of class.

You are an atheist. If your neighbor died and you went to the funeral, in a church, would you run up on the altar screaming that there is no god and he/sh is going to rot in the ground? No, because it is tasteless, humorless and idiotic.

Don't tell me you wouldn't go to a funeral in a church either, b/c this is my scenario, and you did.

Jesus Christ.

[Fiona]

126. are you the parent

of a recently-deceased baby nun? If not, your post cracks me up.

[smbolisnch]

129. If I were, I'm sure you still wouldn't shut up.

[Pithlet]

131. You really are something

Unbelievable.

[Fiona]

133. I don't ask that you believe in me

just know in your heart that I exist. I'm sorta like Santa that way.

110. Life is funny, but dead baby jokes, falling nun jokes, and

Helen Keller jokes aren't funny at all...

[Pithlet]

87. That's the difference

Between you and me. I think the Helen Keller jokes were also beyond tasteless, and I feel imensely guilty that I laughed at them. I will not defend them. But, there is a difference between telling one of them, and a dead baby joke, for all the various reasons I stated.

I can't believe that someone who would deign to tell a dead baby joke is giving ME a lecture about humor. Now, THERE is some irony. See, now that is funny!

[Fiona]

139. would it make you feel better

if I felt "immensely guilty" for telling a dead baby joke?

That would make it all better, right?

[Bok_Tukalo]

78. There are tsunami jokes?

Wow. Let's hear a few.

For purely sociological reasons, of course.

[Pithlet]

83. You won't be hearing them from me.

But I'm sure there are some. Humor is, after all, not universal, as someone else in this thread stated. They would know, I'm sure.

[Fiona]

85. I haven't heard any yet

but I'm sure there are some, and they will be forthcoming.

You see, humor is a human response to all sorts of situations, including tragedy. Pretending to be outraged by it is just silly. If I hear a joke that offends me, I just don't laugh. I don't attack the joke-teller.

Is the holocaust so serious that it can't be made fun of? Tell it to Mel Brooks.

[Pithlet]

89. Now you're just missing the point deliberately.

Carry on with the dead baby jokes. Never mind me.

[Fiona]

94. Pithlet

use your infallible Wand of Comedy to explain why Mel Brooks' jokes about the holocaust are funny, despite your protestations upthread that some things are simply out of bounds when it comes to humor.

[Pithlet]

96. Fiona

Tell me why deab babies are funny? You never really did manage that, other than "Anything can be funny!" So? What's so funny?

If you do that, then I'll asnwer your question. Never mind that my point isn't that some things are outside the bounds of humor. Never my point, actually.

[Pithlet]

104. Oh, and when you do answer it

I can get you in contact with someone dear to me who lost a baby to SIDS. I bet they'll love to hear it.

[Fiona]

130. So you know someone

whose child died. That's tragic.

I know people whose parents died in the holocaust, and yet Springtime for Hitler is funny.

[Bok_Tukalo]

90. I find this whole thread amazing

A discussion (sort of) on the nature of humour that started out with a really bad grade school joke involving nuns.

It's hypnotic.

[Pithlet]

92. There was background

from other threads, carrying over into this one. If the same poster hadn't made other jokes about dead babies, there wouldn't be this discussion. I could be wrong, but I think the poster was trying to make a point, after other people reacted rather predecitbly and understandably to his/her oh-so-hilarious dead baby jokes.

[Bok_Tukalo]

97. "There was background"

Of that, I have no doubt.

[Fiona]

36. oh my FUCKING god...

I literally peed a little.

[CO Liberal]

41. Thank You For Sharing....

I don't see anything wrong with nun jokes either - and I had an aunt (now deceased) who was a Sister of St. Kasamir.

Q - What's black & white, hides in a cave, and cries?

A - A pregnant nun.

[Fiona]

43. awesome

thank you for bringing the thread back to its original purpose.

What's black and white and red and has trouble getting through a revolving door?

A nun with a spear through her head.


I sincerely apologize to any or all nuns reading this thread who are burdened by spears through their heads. It must suck, and I sympathize.

[Bok_Tukalo]

45. What an odd thread

<eom>

[Fiona]

46. Indeed!

Thank God for oddity. I come from a long line of odd people.

[Bok_Tukalo]

51. I'm all for odd

I also enjoy bizarre, curious, eccentric, erratic, idiosyncratic, outlandish, peculiar, quaint, queer, quirky, unique, singular, strange, unnatural, unusual, and weird.

But I draw the line at disconcerting.

[Fiona]

70. And can you please

explain exactly where that line is drawn for all people?

[Bok_Tukalo]

75. "I" is not "all people"

Although, there are certain philosophies that think so.

But they are disconcerting.

[CO Liberal]

47. What's Black & White and Red All Over?

A sunburned nun.

(True story - my aunt the nun went to the beach with her fellow nuns once in the Early '60s. Thay had all made their own bathing suits. My aunt got a terrible sunburn, and couldn't sleep that night. The Mother Superior finally decided that she had to go to the E/R. Imagine the E/R doctor's surprise when my aunt removed her ankle-length habit to reveal the outline of the bikini she had been wwearing!!)

[BlueFlu]

52. I had another aunt... she was a nun too... and was killed...

...in a rebel uprising in Africa... yep, spear through the head...

thanks for making fun of her too!

Frankly, making fun of dead parents is far more fun that making fun of dead babies and falling nuns.

Did you hear the one about the parents who killed themselves rather than face their kids yet another day? Not very funny, but then, neither were the dead baby or falling nun jokes...

[CO Liberal]

55. Lighten Up!!!

The Lounge is supposed to be a place to unwind. If this thread bothers you so much, then stop reading it.

59. I share your pain...

My grandfather died when he walked into a bar with a frog on his head, and my pet chicken died crossing the road.

[BlueFlu]

61. So, did you hear the one about the parents who got hit trying to

cross the road trying to get their kid to follow?

[Fiona]

62. No

but probably because the punchline doesn't have any zazz.

[BlueFlu]

65. I didn't give you the punch line... n/t
