A man is walking down a street when he sees an orange man mowing a lawn. The man wonders why, so he goes and knocks on the door of the house. When the door is answered he asks, "Why is there an orange man mowing your lawn." The man in the house replies, "My n#gg#r, I'll paint him whatever colour I like!"
Not funny Not because of any sort of racial context It's just plain stupid No clever play on words To coin a phrase A nothing burger Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Okay. Thanks for the reply. I hate the n- word, but liked that joke. Actually I dislike any forms of prejudice. -isms shall we say? I consider that joke to be inoffensive, however, because I cannot see someone painting someone due to ownership. People do Mark things they own though. Perhaps a grain of truth.
hell Counter that joke wouldn't even be funny if you replaced n#gg#r with wife or dog or horse or son or daughter or minister or .......................................................(fill in the blank)........................... ............................................... My 1st father in law(Italian/american) was fond of telling n#gg#r jokes............grrrrr So, I asked him: "What's the difference between a n#gg#r and an Italian?" To which,he responded: "I don't know." To which, I responded: "Neither do I." He stopped telling those jokes to me.
True people mark items they own And slaves were owned in the past and still are in parts of the world However the n word is not the reason the joke is not funny I can think of two other endings which are still not really in the funny bone region but might be a tad better 1/ I was going to paint him green but thought he might get lost in the grass and blue is taken by my neighbour 2/ The Ethical Treatment of Slaves said it was OK as long as the paint was lead free Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Short answer - not funny at all. Long answer - "jokes" based on racist comments/rhetoric have no place at SciForums. Period.
