EQ jokes

[SPman]

A mate of mine works at the Grand Chancellor in Christchurch. He reckons they're gonna be flat out.

Was supposed to go to C'church for a holiday but my accomodation's fallen through.

I guess someone had to kick off the "too soon" schoolboy chortling.

Those of us who sit in anguish awaiting news of missing people, can no doubt gain some comfort from the knowledge that their on-going suffering is the source of puerile amusement for others.

Interesting responses, and the bling!!!! - so - it looks like the great english "dark humour in the face of adversity" has gone from most of the population - and they were only mild jokes - I have much worse - 2 from a person who did lose someone in Chch.......

What a dour lot most of the population are becoming....

maybe the people of christchurch need a bit of humour I know it always makes me feel better evan when i have lost someone close to me. well that and beer that always makes you feel better.

I have much worse - 2 from a person who did lose someone in Chch.......

It's worse not knowing if you have lost a friend or loved one... do you grieve, do hold on to hope that they are okay waiting for rescue... or loose hope and the slow grieve kicks in which is like a slow death in a way...

Trrust me its not nice not knowing... whilst condolences to your friends for their loss, but at least they now know and can can now start their grieving process...

There are many here waiting to hear from friends and family... including me...

:smile: Ordinarily I laugh at this sort of thing. I am far removed from the devastation, and so far so good all my nearests and dearests are ok, just maybe a little too close to the bone John. Dont take it personally.

*HUGS* Yeah, it is a killer for sure. I am a lucky one, so far so good for me. My heart is bleeding for anyone affected by this.

There was one floating around about how we now need to take the church part of Christchurch seeing as most of the churches fell down in the center of town.

[SPman]

I reckon all this is pretty shaky ground, anyway.

Careful you dont rock things to much with that bad pun.

"Dark humour in the face of adversity" is for those who are facing it.

Perhaps you could travel to Christchurch and cheer up those who stand in vigil at the cordons with your jokes. No? Of course not, you probably prefer your nose unbroken...

But the safety and anonymity of the internet makes it different, eh?

Dour? Maybe. But I'd rather be dour than a cunt.

As it happens, I've now heard from the last of our missing relatives, and can start relaxing. But many others can't...

[ynot slow]

Yep the jokes are good usually we take the piss of world events and turn into jokes asap,but a bit differet when in our land,and that maybe ruffles the feathers.

I had a cousn who was talking to her mum at a cafe before the quake,whilst still on the phone my auntie said she heard background screams and the phone went dead as the rumble started,auntie and uncle had a long 28hours before her daughter could contact them,with cuts and bruises and a newly renovated home damaged.

On a serious note:

Bob Parker rang up Nga Tahu tribe and said 'yeah....we want our muskets and blankets back....your lands faulty!'

Probably the first part of the name was quite a common word on Tuesday as well.

This thread was posted in jokes and humour and titled EQ jokes, if you are that precious, do a little bit of self censoring and don't read a thread such as this.

A little humour for many right now is a good thing and I'm sure at the many BBQ and EQ imposed get together's there will be many instant comedians good thing as well.

Virago shame you had to search my profile to red rep me for a spelling mistake in another totally irrelevant post here is one you can really have a go at ya tosser

Relax people. Its a bit early for earthquake jokes but if some want to go ahead, well that just illustrates we all have different thresholds. My wife is at the centre of things organising relief and rescue so myself and the children are a bit anxious.

However I'm not offended and in a couple of weeks will probably laugh.
