I mean, come on......
These days we are pounded by the words ‘Inappropriate’, ‘immature’ and ‘offended’. All words used by boring people to describe fun people in my book.
There is enough shite going on in our world to get all bent out of shape about so why cant we just have a giggle. Jokes about one legged single lesbian mothers on benefit are funny, jokes about white kids with wings being angels but black kids with wings being bats are funny, jokes about Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs and fricking Arsenal supporters are funny.
Lets face it, if you REALLY wanted to offend someone then you could burn down their house, smash their car or call them an Aborigine but in everyday life you should, in fact must, have a grin.
I’ve even seen it in the biker community, two examples catapult themselves into my brain...
1 – When I started the Fat Bikers Motorcycle Club and a couple of people got up in arms over the ‘MC’ bit in the sense that ‘ooohhh, that makes us a 1%er gang’ and ‘ooohhh, we could get in trouble for this.’ My explanation that the initials MC in the context of the club was in fact Mince & Cheese. No one thought that was funny. And, my personal favourite...
2 – A weekend away with the fatties and a certain person was warned that if he stayed up after midnight socialising with us then he would be locked out of his room by the other two bikers he was staying with, just because this person wanted to stay up late and get on the sauce. One of the other bikers disassociated himself with the fatties because, and I quote, “they are just a bunch of drunken goons”....Im quite proud of that to be honest....
But my point remains this, where has all the fun gone in the world and is it time to stop nancing around and get some giggling going.....and if anyone gets offended then simply show them this great quote from Stephen Fry.....
