What do the initials DNA stand for .......

National Dyslexic Association

[dannyk13]

Shouldn't that be Dyslexic Association National?

[Theland]

It's the way of the world to joke about everybody else.
Working men's clubs notorious for it but a great night out.
We can't buy Golliwogs any longer because of offence.
*** jokes were great, and Christians have been the butt of jokes forever.
It's life Jim, but not as we know it.

[Theland]

What's more stupid than camouflaging the N word?
What next? The T word, Tourette's, the F word, fat, the B word, blind, the Q word, queer, the M word, moderator, the A word, ABer?

Doctor to terminally ill man :- " bad news and good news, you will be dead in three weeks, but, you've got a new disease named after you!"

[Theland]

"Sperm bank recruits Remainers, they are all Wonkers"

[The Builder]

Haha ...That reminds me Theland.

Doctor: Good news and bad news.
Patient: What's the good news?
Doctor: You've got one day to live.
Patient: Oh no. So what on earth is the bad news?
Doctor: I should have told you yesterday.

[Theland]

Doctor: " Don't buy any long playing records."

Poor fatties get it again! Great innit?

"Dianne Abbott says she is deeply offended, has to consult notebook to see what is offending her!"

[Mamyalynne]

The Demerara joke too racist to re-publish?

You probably wouldn't have enjoyed the whole show or the popular childrens book it came from either.

"But this wasn't a joke about Tourette's. It was simply a pun."


not entirely true....the pun relies on the fact that Tourrettes exists and on the behaviour of people who have it.

I suffer Crohn's disease. There are are jokes about Crohns. Bring them on.

[Peter Pedant]

didnt president elect Trump 'mimic'(*) a woman with menorrhagia
to the delight of 50 000 present ?

(*) he went like "b-there b-there b-there!" and leant to one side on this podium, and his face went squiffy and the crowd went wild
OK so it was better than some of the impressions I do....

// I suffer Crohn's disease. There are are jokes about Crohns. Bring them on.//

my sister in law has just had that dx, and I have to say I didnt find much to laugh about....

[Mamyalynne]

There's a world of difference to me between a joke about something that affects you or being mocked in the classroom,playground or street about the same thing.

I am partially sighted and will and do laugh at good (emphasis on that word) Specsavers and Magoo jokes.

But having been ridiculed in situations such as the time I dropped some money in a shop by a middle aged man who found it hilarious I couldn't see to pick it up, I can safely say - there's a difference all right.

That joke made me chuckle, as did Ludwig's at 10:17.

[Peter Pedant]

but it all depends on the circs

when I heard - 'why didnt you kick him off the tram?' I did get pretty frightened as it was match day and I was surrounded by city supporters whom every one knows are animals of the worst kind

other times calls of 'twit' make things better

/as the time I dropped some money in a shop by a middle aged man who found it hilarious I couldn't see to pick it up,//

I wd be tempted to say: "well that is lucky or I wouldnt get it all back!" but MamaL you will understand I love a crushing one liner and do get knocked about a bit.

[Mamyalynne]

I know you do and to be fair , like you I mostly cope well even with ridicule in public, I always allow for the fact that the person may not have a full developed brain.

The point I am making should be clear however.
