Is Political Humor Allowed?

[InsaneBane]

Thanks Skywalker for your lesson in American history - I get it now [img]smile.gif[/img] .

Thanks to some breakdown somewhere between the place where I sit and the IronWorks forum host computer, my earlier post (with my thanks to Skywalker) didn't get through

Another (really old) political joke;
Stalin, Khrushchev and Brezhnev were all travelling together in a railway carriage, when unexpectedly the train stopped. Stalin put his head out of the window and shouted, "Shoot the driver!" But the train didn't start moving. Khrushchev then shouted, "Rehabilitate the driver!" But it still didn't move. Brezhnev then said, "Comrades, Comrades, let's draw the curtains, turn on the gramophone and let's pretend we're moving!"

I kinda belong in the middle, does that mean I can lough like a madman, because I thought it was funny as hell.

I stand warned. [img]smile.gif[/img] I'll try to look for a good Democratic joke just to level the field.

Now when you got up this morning, did you forsee yourself giving U.S. history lessons to people in various parts of the world?

Thank ye Mr. Skywalker sir.

The American answer would have been to give the engineer a promotion so as not to anger his powerful uncle and then put someone else in the driver's seat.

*Notice how my response was totally non-partisan?

Absolutely! I got it in email this morning and it cracked me up. I like helping people laugh when I can and I appreciate the return favor. I can't remember who posted the Sargent Skippy post, but I sent that to everyone I know, just like I spread around this joke. I just can have a warped sense of humor so I have to be careful not to offend people.
