It’s dusk. A paedophile (name witheld) is walking through the woods with a young boy. As night draws in the boy says, “Hey mister I’m scared” ” You’re scared! the paedophile replies indignantly.....I’ve got to walk home on my own!!!”

i hope that makes you proud of yourself

Oops! I wasn't expecting that reaction hugo.Did you not find that even remotely funny?

nope, not even remotely.
Sorry.

Crikey unimpressed 2, amused 0. OK I’m sorry too. I really didn’t mean to cause offence to the good people of dogbomb.I don’t normally like written jokes but that one is one of the funniest I’ve heard for a while and I honestly believed it would cause amusement.I now realise peadophile humour on the dogbomb site is not the new rock and roll.
I will, without further ado, get my coat.

well, its not so much that i dont like offensive jokes, just that they have to be funny :)
and what has poor old mccririck ever done to you (apologies if he has actually buggered you as a child)

Ahhh! Is it the McCrirrick bit that you're unamused by or would you still find the joke unfunny without a name included?

its just shite, must try harder

The thing is hugo, I admit that I did cruelly and with no foundation in fact, included Mr M’s name, but beforehand many people, myself obviously included, found this joke hilarious and to my knowledge I’ve only had one bad reaction to it, hence the posting .I can only conclude from this that humour is a strange and very individual thing. I’ll certainly be more circumspect in future.
Yours slightly deflated,
Patrick

aw, dont worry, i'm sure you're a very nice fella

just not funny :)

At least if I do post another joke (which I doubt after the reception that ones got so far) I’ll be more prepared next time for the ballistic onslaught of rotten cyber eggs and cabbages that may ensue.
