A man smelling of booze and cigarettes sat down on a subway next to a priest. His tie was stained, there was red lipstick on his collar and face and a half-empty bottle of gin was sticking out of his torn coat pocket. He opened his newspaper and began reading.
After a few minutes the man turned to the priest and asked, "Tell me Father, do you happen to know what causes arthritis?"
The priest replies, "My son, it's caused by loose living, consorting with cheap, wicked women, too much alcohol, contempt for your fellow man, sleeping around with prostitutes and lack of a bath."
The drunk muttered in response, "Well, I'll be damned", then returned to his paper.
The priest, thinking about what he had said, nudged the man and apologized. "I'm very sorry. I didn't mean to come on so strong. How long have you had arthritis?"
The man answered, "I don't have it, Father. I was just reading here that the Pope suffers from it."
MORAL: Make sure you understand the question before offering the answer.
HONESTLY
It was that time, during the Sunday morning service, for the children's sermon.
All the children were invited to come forward.
One little girl was wearing a particularly pretty dress and, as she sat down, the pastor leaned over and said,
"That is a very pretty dress. Is it your Easter Dress?"
The little girl replied, directly into the pastor's clip-on microphone, "Yes, and my Mom says it's a bitch to iron. ”
MATH LESSON
A little boy was doing his math homework. He said to himself,
"Two plus five, that son of a bitch is seven.
Three plus six, that son of a bitch is nine..."
His mother heard what he was saying and gasped, "What are you doing?"
The little boy answered, "I'm doing my math homework, Mom."
"And this is how your teacher taught you to do it?" the mother asked.
"Yes," he answered.
Infuriated, the mother asked the teacher, "What are you teaching my son in math?"
The teacher replied, "Right now, we are learning addition."
The mother asked, "And are you teaching them to say two plus two, that son of a bitch is four?"
After the teacher stopped laughing, she answered, "What I taught them was, two plus two, THE SUM OF WHICH, is four. ”
WHO’S YOUR DADDY
A certain little girl, when asked her name, would reply, "I'm Mr. Sugarbrown's daughter."
Her mother told her this was wrong, she must say, "I'm Jane Sugarbrown."
The Vicar spoke to her in Sunday School, and said,
"Aren't you Mr. Sugarbrown's daughter?"
She replied, "I thought I was, but mother says I'm not. ”
A PREDICTION
A little girl goes to the barber shop with her father.
She stands next to the barber chair, while her dad gets his hair cut, eating a snack cake.
The barber says to her, "Sweetheart, you're gonna get hair on your Twinkie."
She says, "Yes, I know, and I'm gonna get boobs too. ”
RESURRECTION
The minister started his Children's Sermon with a question, "Who knows what a Resurrection is?"
Without missing a beat a young boy says, "If you have one lasting more than 4 hours call your physician."
The pastor is still laughing.
REALITY
One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of Chicken Little to her class. She came to the part of the story where Chicken Little tried to warn the farmer. She read, ".... and so Chicken Little went up to the farmer and said, "The sky is falling, the sky is falling!" The teacher paused then asked the class, "And what do you think that farmer said? ”
One little girl raised her hand and said, "I think he said: 'Holy shit! A talking chicken!'"
The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes.
Post 20 — Bravo
Profanity is the crutch of the illiterate mother f***er!
I agree with you.
Yes, and I said no less, but it no more belongs then a liberal lie.
3) Your tagline contains a swear word; and
"Damned" is not a swear word, esp. in that context, nor is it vulgarity that reminds you of what is in a used toilet.
Your argument is illogical: It simply does not follow that God having given us sexual appetites, speech, survival abilities and a sense of humor means profanity and vulgarity is sanctioned. Nor that its even necessary for humor, as decades of successful past on-air comedians showed. In contrast, today's comedians seem to rely on it since they are inferior to many of the past.
Why did you read my comment if you are offended by it? Being inquisitive means you might read what may be lacking in quality or somewhat in propriety.
Rim shot !!!
Thanx sorry some here don’t appreciate it and they stay and mess up the thread rather than move on

FR has always been a family site. The naughty words are always misspelled to show disapproval, if they must be used.
People vary about this kind of stuff, but I think it might be better to stay on the overcautious side rather than offend our more proper members.
Nowhere did I say your post offended me.
I'm inquisitive also. Were you born this obtuse or did it take years of study?
Oh really? You criticized my objection to vulgarity but was not offended by my post. So did your lack of comprehension take years of study? We can use the word "opposed" rather than offended (which was your choice) if you like.
