Is this joke offensive?:

Poll question: Is this joke offensive?:

I have a Toast Masters meeting tomorrow. I'm supposed to tell a quick joke. I've chosen this one. We are an informal group... but I wanted to vet it with y'all first.

Is this an offensive joke? Should I tell it? Comments welcome.


A rabbi and a minister decided to buy a new car together. The day after they bought it, the rabbi found the minister driving it. The minister explained that he had just gone to the car-wash because, in his religion, it is customary to welcome a new member with the rite of baptism. The next day, the minister discovered the rabbi cutting the end off the tailpipe.

1. You have to piss only one person off for you to regret this.

Or at least for you to feel extremely uncomfortable.

3. It's fine

which religion would it offend..both the minister and rabbi are stupid in the joke:shrug:

[tuvor]

12. You don't have to offend a religion. Just one person.

And the reason doesn't have to matter.

The more people there, the better the chance. That's all.

[jellybelly]

13. but ALL jokes offend at least one person

19. Puns don't have to.

There's a big vacant lot for sale close by. I want to buy it, so I can call people on my cell phone and tell them: "I'm outstanding in my field."

Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.

2. in a perfect world it would just be a joke

[Hans Delbrook]

4. I think it's cute.

And I always say - F*** 'em if they can't take a joke. And joke 'em if they can't take a F***!

5. Voted 'use it'

6. Can't you tell a joke that everyone will take the same way

Like one about dead babies :-)

[brainshrub]

8. Ohhh, dead babies! Sounds good!

Should I use a graphic image, or can I just hold up a jar?

[JVS]

9. How about this one. What's red and crawls up women's legs?

A homesick abortion! :-)

[brainshrub]

14. Oh, that's just plain wrong.

Ewwwww...

[Wapsie B]

7. I think it's hilarious.

But then again I laugh at Polish jokes. (being part Polish myself)
Others however........I'd find another joke.

10. Pardon my French, but...

What the fuck is "ToastMasters"? It sounds like some kind of Toaster Mega-Mart.

15. Here's a link:

It's a club to help you hone your public speaking talents.

11. It's okay....

but, it would have more pizazz if you told it in a stereotype Yiddish accent (think Billy Crystal).

16. If everyone there is a Bush-hater, tell this one....

George W. Bush died and tried to get into heaven, but was told there was no room, he had to go to hell instead. So Bush went to hell (we all knew that was going to happen anyway.) When he arrived in hell, the devil told him there were 3 rooms he could go into. He would have to choose carefully which room, because it would be for all eternity. Bush looked in the first room, and saw Colin Powell sitting in a jacuzzi, drinking a mai-tai. "Hmmm... that looks nice," said Bush. Then he looked in the second room and saw Donald Rumsfeld laying on a table getting massaged by 3 beautiful young women. "Hey... that looks even better," said Bush. But just to make sure, he checked in room #3. He opened the door and looked in, and saw Bill Clinton getting a blowjob from Monica Lewinsky. "Wow," said Bush, if it's going to be for all eternity, THAT'S the room I want to be in!" So, having made his decision, Bush went back to the devil. "OK I decided," he said. "I'll take room #3." The devil then picked up his phone and said, "All right, Monica, you can go home now."

17. Why do women have boobies?

So you have something to look at when you talk to them!


Why don't women need watches?
Because there's a clock on the oven!



What do you do when your dishwasher stops working?
Slap her and send her back into the kitchen!

I'm going to get flamed miserably for this! :evilgrin:

I'd say use your joke, jews have a sense of humor too. If anyone can't take a joke, fuck em.

18. It isn't funny enough. You can do better than that. Look here...

[Deja Q]

22. It's not offensive. But is sure is strange. But what do I know?

[Squeech]

23. No

It would only be offensive if the rabbi were taking a blowtorch to the crankshaft.
