Irish job interview

We Americans are all from SOMEWHERE other than here, excluding the poor American Indians, and how many thousands of jokes I have enjoyed over the years involving almost every other country in the world -- where some of our ancestors (in most cases, a lot of 'em) came from. I'm speaking for my part as maternal side/French and paternal side/Scotch/Irish, I enjoy them, so keep'em coming, Jilly. The French & Irish jokes to me are the funniest.

Also want to mention, my handicapped daughter takes no offense whatsoever at being called handicapped, disabled or any other respectable word for it. She thinks it's silly when people apologize & stumble all over themselves in not referring to her as "physically challenged." (That's the politically correct title these days...ppfffttt!!!)

It goes w/o saying we always have to cut Phil a bit of slack, I know he means no harm. LOL :sentimental: As for the PC crowd's way of thinking and from what I'm reading, I'm very grateful I'm not a part of it.

It's not about you, or even about the joke, it was triggered by a flippant remark about PCness which on some forums roools and spoils the opportunity to indulge ourselves in these harmless jokes. It was, to my understanding, pro the joke not agin it.

:banghead: Cut him slack for WHAT??? HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!!! Maybe they can hire an interpreter for this forum, so innocent comments won't be distorted in the future, definitely unfair! :rolleyes:

I read Phil's post in apologizing and saying he wouldn't do it again. I love the guy and threw my lousy 2 cents worth in defending him. He had apologized to me on another matter, same day, when I was kidding with him all along and so was he. And I was also completely saying in jest about "cutting him some slack." Nothing whatsoever meant even remotely bitchy or derogatory.

Now, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it! BIG :) to all!!! My sincerest apologies to Jill if it appeared I was doing anything other than trying to make her feel better.
 
What about them Yankees, huh?

Could we keep pelagic nomenclature generic please? It can prove geographically sensitive to focus on a particular feature.

*sigh*

A rabbi, a priest and a Buddhist monk are on a life raft on top of the euphotic zone of a large body of saline water partly enclosed by land, just inside the necrotic zone during a neap tide ...
 
This thread that refuses to die reminds me of a scene in the late, great Peter Seller's film, The Party. Sellers played a two bit actor who mistakenly got invited to a big Hollywood director's glitzy party. Prior to getting the invite he was acting in a scene where he was a bugle player in French Foreign Legion and he gets shot. He is supposed to fall over dead, instead in order to expand on his role, he keeps sounding his bugle, and every time you think he has drawn his last breath, he rises up again to blow a few more notes, much to the consternation of the director.

Needless to say, from the moment his feet crossed the threshold of the director's front door when he arrived at the party, mayhem followed. A very funny film and if you haven't seen it, it's worth a watch.
 
LOL, The Party was a super funny movie, I laughed all the way through it, a must see for those who like comedy! :D
