Shouldn't this have the standard disclaimer, to the effect of:
"I know this isn't PC, but I'm a retarded person myself, so
it's okay..."

JU>retarded people. Thanks much,
This one is more of a visual.
The kids are at one of those school carnivals and one of the games
is to see who can drop a clothespin into a milk bottle (milk used to
come in glass bottles, delivered to your door). The kids stumble all
over the room, coming no where near the bottle. Finally little
Johnny steps up and by sheer luck, gets the clothespin (they used to
hang clothes on a wire or rope stretched between two trees) in the
bottle. "Congratulations, Johnny, you win the prize!"
The prize is an ice cream cone, which Johnny ends up placing in the
middle of his forehead.
Like I said, it's a visual joke.

How about some jokes that make fun of smart people?

I have a rather unusual question for you. I don't know if you saw the
post I made to rec.humor continuing the 'tard jokes thread, but it is
enclosed below.

>How about some jokes that make fun of smart people?
After posting the above (with only the last line being my comment) I
received an e-mail from some guy in Australia who was very offended at
me. He said the following:
: In Sydney we have a corner of the park across from the NSW art gallery where
:folks set up their soapboxes every Sunday and rant about their personal views.
:I've seen the same in London on the corner of Hyde Park, at the Speakers'
:Corner. Do you consider this newsgroup (rec.humor) your personal soapbox?
:Having used Usenet News for the past 7 or 8 years, I've found that ignorning
:the people who find it necessary to post juvenile jokes to be the best
:method for quenching same, a practice you may find more productive than trying
:to share your pious views with those of us who have already put your name in
:the "never process posts from this person" portion of our news configuration.
My intent in my post was not to make fun of the person who asked for
'retard' jokes, but just to make a request for more jokes on a related
topic. I even thought my request might be funny to some. I was wondering
if you or anyone else can tell me, is this Australian guy's response to me
odd? Or do you agree that my post was offensive, pious, out-of-line on
rec.humor? What gives?
I'd appreciate any light you could shed on this since I'm still new to the
Internet and I certainly never expected this type of response.
Thanks,
Kathleen

Kathleen, I've seen a dog shed its fur and a snake shed its skin, but I have never, ever seen
anyone shed light (they may absorb dark though).

Two things. It is generally considered bad taste to quote email back to
the usenet. Second, your intentions were not quite clear - whether you
were flaming the original poster or asking for more jokes on this new
topic. Since the Aussie assumed the former, flaming, he was mostly "in-
the-right" since anybody can have jokes about htem, whether PC or not.
He only misread your intention, something I readily admit doing, except that
I just assumed it was PC drivel and ignored it. But knowing your intention
now helps: all people are fair game for a joke, myself included.

When you're dealing with the entire world, you gotta learn to expect the
unexpected and, when something you forget to expect happens, take it in
stride.

Cool down Kathleen! If you're new to this you got to expect some shit from
people who just can't take tha new people come in and post to rec.humor,
where btw everything is out of line. Maybe that's the Australian's
problem. Not used to related topics in the same thread.
I think you should get yourself a flame proof vest and just continue
posting. As the other person made clear you're already in his kill file,
so no need to worry. This is the only real working anarchy in the world,
and I hope it stays that way.

P.S. If you really want to upset people, post this joke (or similar):
Knock, knock!
Who's there?
Nicole.
Nicole who?
Congratulations, you just won yourself a Pez dispenser!

Oh, god, not the dark suckers again.. I told you, the only things that absorb darkness are
those "light bulbs". Not books, not lemurs, not Kibo, and most definitely not people.
Now, why are you glowering at me like that?
