Personally I've been too busy to look but I suspect they've already started to come out. 'They' do say laughter is the best medicine and what better way can we show how resilient and British we are.

Any thoughts?
Got any? twisted
It would be very insensitive to even come up with something like that, I mean is the joke going to be on the bombers, or the 700 and odd that got injured, or the ones that lost a family member?

Just a matter of opinion, it won't slide well in the UK now, that is for sure.

Yes....you are not, and you aren't from London either, but people from the UK might be reading the site. Ever considered that?

I have considered it. I would to read some of these jokes to gauge their offensiveness.

Like the guy who went into King's Cross wearing a t-shirt and jeans and came out in a blazer and flares.

/window ticket, smoking section and kosher food please.
You wait ages for a bus, and then boom, its like four come at once.
Ive always been a fan of sick /dark humour and i dont find those jokes offensive .

but then nobody i know was effective by the incident .
As wAS said earlier i think we should wait its would be considerate .

I Remember way back when i was in DC and a airliner went down in the potomac .Howard Stern made some crack about the plane having plenty of ice and was immediatly fired .. folks have differant degrees of sensitivity . JMO

whether the mods will leave this thread up is also in question

I know I shouldn't laugh......but :lol: :lol: :lol:

Two Arab mothers are sitting in the cafe strip chatting over a pint of
goat's milk.
The older of the mothers pulls her bag out and starts flipping through
pictures, and they start reminiscing.

"This is my oldest son Mohammed. He's 24 years old now". "Yes, I remember
him as a baby" says the other mother cheerfully. "He's a martyr now
though"
mom confides.

"Oh, so sad dear" says the other. "And this is my second son Kalid. He's
21"

"Oh, I remember him," says the other happily, "he had such curly hair
when
he was born".

"He's a martyr too " says mom quietly.

"Oh gracious me ...." says the other.

"And this is my third son. My baby. My beautiful Ahmed. He's 18 ", she
whispers.

"Yes" says the friend enthusiastically, "I remember when he first started
school".

"He's a martyr also," says mom, with tears in her eyes.

After a pause and a deep sigh, the second Muslim mother looks wistfully
at the photographs and says. ..

"They blow up so fast, don't they?"
Jokes about so-called suicide bombers (mass murderers)... TWO THUMBS UP.

Jokes about being a victim: TWO THUMBS DOWN.

If you're stupid enough to blow yourself up while making a political statement, you deserve a joke made against you.
