Paddy is planning to marry, he is, and asks his family doctor how he
could tell if his bride-to-be is still a virgin.

His doctor says, "Aye, Paddy, all Irish use three things for what we
call a Do-It-Yourself..... Virginity Test Kit.... a small can of red paint, a small can of blue paint and a shovel."
Paddy asks, "Aye, and what do I do with these things, doctor?"
The doctor replies, "Before ye climb into bed on your wedding night, you paint one of your balls red and the other ball blue . If she says, That's the strangest pair of balls I ever did see...", you hit her with the shovel.'
 

.. Subconciously 'Al'; You've put it in any already 'hard-hearted' person's mind, {of whom 'BR' is Not among them}; But whom otherwise thinks it's 'funny'; That there Are hypothetical circumstances, where hitting someone with a shovel, could be construed as humorous!?
 
There are more than a few people in the world with 'short-fuses,' who will abuse others {often severely}, for even being 'looked at the wrong way'!
 
Anyway; For those 'misfits' in particular; It's an admittedly small 'step' in reinforcing their near complete lack of empathy, for the 'victim.' --
 

I was going to write something to you BK like "lighten up pal!"...but then I remember what was my first reactions to this joke:
 
First of all is the concept and the dealing with the virginity issue...I think I was on those transition generations on which this matter was still important on some stage on our lives: I come from a conservative family and on one point on my life I was hoping to marry a virgin and also be a virgin when I marry as well...It was not possible at all I must admit.
 
But NOW..wow...is another story completly and statistics show about young kids losing thier virginity at 14 in avg age...(wow!)what 25 years can do with human behavior!
 
The other is that I remember as well reading a Freud book "The joke and the relationship with the subconscious"" on which the book described that when we make jokes like this one even if is only among guys still the objective was to attack or punish the figure of the woman: interesting.
 
I must say I confused a shovel with a broomstik ( my english!) which wasn't so aggresive I think but I must admit that laughing at violent behaviors may slowly make us let slowly and almost unadvertely some kind of violence in our minds to be installed as normal, specially against women so the flag is fairly raised I think if that was BK intention ( sometimes I do not understand your comments so well).
 
Anyway ,I still think it is very funny. I will tell the joke from now on but I will change the shovel for something less threatning...

 
 
Why change anything ? This is a good one as is. People that do no possess any sense of humor will never understand humor in any form. Perhaps 3 stooges style slapstick might tickle those dull folks. I am fairly certain the buzz's astrological sign if feces.

 
Rest assured RAPTOR, that your false observations, reflect on the sorry state you're coming from, and not I.
- For that matter, conceivably; You could have 10 or more members compliment your post {see above, in part}, as 'Well said!'; And it still wouldn't change your unenviable character traits. Now visible, for all to assess, in clearer terms than perhaps, ever before!
 
'For out of the heart, the mouth speaketh'.. and fingers type!
 
 
 

much difficulty in trying to read your garbled attempt at speaking.
 
If we are going to use 'sic' and begin correcting simple mistakes ,,, well,, you need the help. well, i cant take any more of your 'i am better that you' . You go back into filter.\\
 
bye

Hey, come on guys!!
It was a simple silly joke e-mailed to me and i thought it clean and harmless enough to share!!
I certainly didnt expect this sort of reaction.
 
I shall keep anything mildly funny to myself. Sharing words that are NOT meant to offend in ANY way isnt a crime. And neither is smiling!!!
 
Ive never laid a harmful finger on man woman or beast and of that i am proud but yes, i have committed the crime of laughing at harmless words many times.
 
Shame.......

..don't sweat it Al...wait 'till you see what I'm gonna post on Good Friday..heh,heh

 me too and that is why I laughed so much at this joke. Don't be put off by the one negative poster.

 
 
Keep it up. You and spud are what makes this world great.

 
 
Can hardly wait.
