The reason I found the joke in bad taste is a very close friend of mine is a Thalidomide baby, born without arms , so it struck too close to home.

I play volleyball with a guy who was born without a leg, we joke about it all the time. He doesn't let it get him down, and we became good friends over the fact that I joked with him about it. He was on the special olympic team and is better than most 2 legged guys. Because my son speed skated, and one of the other fathers (we also became good friends) lost his leg when he fell asleep behind the wheel... I was not afraid to talk to him about it differently than other people do. For me, I joke about it with them, and break the ice. Rather than inquiring how it happened. I take note of how they seem to be before doing that. Obviously some would be offended of joking. But in the case of my friend that plays volleyball, I cracked the ice with a joke about the spring that was in a blue canister, saying is that your nuclear pack... something light... As we played together more I just kept them coming He realized it wasn't personal but a way to make light of it. I never consider him disabled... As a matter of fact, he was passing on the street in his car, and trying to get my attention while I was walking with my dog and wife in his town. He took his leg off and put it out the sun roof to get my attention. How's that for a 2 way joke... I was laughing my Arse off at how quickly he did that. When I spoke on the phone he said he saw me way before he passed, so he thought I would know who it was if he did that.

And he is probably not nearly as offended as you are about it...

There were three log truck drivers that all went out at the same time to buy new trucks.

The first one purchased a Peterbilt, after the first day of hauling logs, he decided to go and buy a bottle of champagne to christen his new truck. Breaking the bottle over the front bumper he christened his new truck George Washington after the father of our country.

The second truck driver purchased a Kenworth and after seeing the first, decided to do the same. So he purchased a fine bottle of wine and breaking it over the front bumper christened his new truck Abraham Lincoln after the president that freed the slaves.

The last truck driver had purchased a Mack and after thinking about it purchased a bottle of beer and proceeded to throw the bottle through the front windshield, saying, "I christen you Teddy Roosevelt, you Rough Riding SOB".

How can you tell the blonde has been on the computer? Whiteout on the screen.

I am a member of all the above tribes, and I have more jokes, if the crowd doesn't start throwing beer bottles:rolleyes:
