It's not only not nice and making fun of disabled persons isn't funny either. :((

[Oldgreybeard]

Yes Peter, I agree 100%

[aldav]

I know blind people who would think this is pretty funny! After all they're making fun of the dog, aren't they?

[rwbuild]

Not funny!!!!!

Our jack Russell went blind after diabetes but he still had only one aim in life.
To escape our double fenced yard and go down 3 houses where they fed the stray moggies.
On one occasion he was sniffing up the gutter and carload of yarhoos from units at the bottom of the street brought him home.
I quite often judge people on their attitude to animals, especially dogs.
That said you can bet Jack would have been up for a bundy jump anytime.

Cmon guys, take it on face value, theres no making fun of anybody.....its a joke, a funny one at that!

[FenceFurniture]

its a joke, a funny one at that!Not really, but I guess "Seymore Butts" is also funny to you? I have a vague recollection as a snickering school boy of some gag about Seymore something or other. Might have been Seymore Parus Major, or something equally tedious.

Yes got to say I am a fan of politically incorrect jokes, mainly because I object to the premise of PC.
People need to lighten up a bit and laugh at themselves and others. There is no disrespect intended and even people with disabilities, different race or religious views have a sense of humour to say they don’t is discrimination in itself.
No dogs were harmed in Seymore’s joke.

Well I think the point is that non-PC jokes and comments may be ok privately amongst people you know, but publicly there is always a risk.

[DavidG]

People - relax. It is a joke and a good one at that.
There is nothing that needs to be PC except the people making an issue over nothing.

I think it's stretching it.

See to me that is more offensive, if I can’t say it in public then it shouldn’t be said behind closed doors, that is the hypocrisy of it all.
It seems that if you are short, fat and bald Anglo Saxon or Irish it is ok to be the brunt of a joke but others are off limits.
It is a form of discrimination in itself by excluding these other groups from what is “ seen” as fair game.

it is like calling someone a 4 lettered word, it can be a term of endearment or an attack on them, it is not what is said but the intent and how it is said.
When in a joke thread I think the intent is quite evident.

Who checks bunjie cord use by dates anyway?
The punters I guess.

Might be just an urban legend, but I heard that there is a bungie jump setup somewhere where the supervising guy has a rather twisted sense of humour. Gets the jumper all strapped in, double-checks everything, gives instructions on what to do, checks everything again, then taps them on the back to say OK to jump. Just as they lean forward past the angle of no return, he shouts "NO....WAIT!!"

Just imagine.....:oo:

I've heard that one quite a few times over the years. Can't testify to it's accuracy.

[Tonyz]

Used to bungee jump waay back in early '70s in NZ. it was not always fun in those days.

[KBs PensNmore]

Is that like the I****man, who wanted the strap to be tied around his neck, he didn't like the idea of being upside down.

Pondering over it for ages, I just don't get it. Why are the dogs scared?

Lol. I just got it. Funny cos its nonsense.

Hey Sturdee, are you blind? It seems to me that the only people who get cross at humour like this are people who aren't disabled. I know a guy who is blind and he has a great sense of humour. This wouldn't phase him at all. Disabled people do actually have a sense of humour and mostly don't need other people making them feel socially disabled as well by jumping in to protect them all the time.
I'm getting pretty old now. Will you jump in and protect me if someone tells an 'old people' joke? I laugh at them all the time. I'm bald too. Are bald jokes banned?

I'm a disabled person also, and I find humour keeps me going!!!!!

Hey Dougsshed that tatt' is a real beaut, I had always said that when I went bald I'd get a tattoo of a flock of rabbits on my scone, from a distance they'd look like hares. Though bald now for years I haven't got around to it but now I think I'd change my mind and I'd go for the bloke pushing a mower.
The problem I see with that though is once you'd got the tatt' and went a bit balder he wouldn't be mowing at the periphery of your hairline and everyone would think he was blind.
