I see where you're coming from. My problem is that when I'm reading them I'm not all that shocked myself so on the occasion that people tell the joke to me I'm just kind of thinking "ok, I guess I was supposed to freak out or something." I also don't know a lot of people that would give a good reaction and would also find the jokes to be funny or at least to whom it would be ok to tell the joke.

So given that you know what type of jokes are being made here I assume you aren't reacting much reading them. Are you laughing imagining others being shocked by them? I could see that.

I'm sure part of it is imagining or seeing others reactions to it. I think the worlds' so over-PC(resulting in stupid frivalous lawsuits and unneeded apologies) that this probably comes about as an outlet of some kind. People take stuff way too seriously, imo. Sometimes it's fun to just crush the eggshells at everyone's feet.

I have a sick sense of humor though. I loved the holocaust joke with the gaurdtower and the kid in the shower slickin' his hair back. Pedophile and religious jokes are my favs. The religious jokes may have something to do with me going to parochial school.

But you're right, many jokes fall upon the same line.

And there is a place and time for these types of jokes.

This thread has been a blast.
