Paddy and his wife are lying in bed listening to the next door neighbor's dog. It has been in the backyard barking for hours and hours. He jumps up out of bed and says,

"I've had enough of this". He goes downstairs.

Paddy finally comes back up to bed and his wife says "The dog is still barking, what have you been doing?"

Paddy says, "I put the dog in our backyard, let's see how THEY like it!

Why is that racist?I'm a Yorkshireman,there are loads of jokes about us lot,i don't call people racist for posting them.

If you don't have a sense of humour,you're in the wrong section i'm afraid.....Oh,just one more thing,i have relatives from Waterford(that's in Ireland if you didn't know)

Calm down guys.... a "joke" is a joke....

How do you tell a Yorkshire man from anyone else in England.... He jogs home after a vasectomy.... it's a joke

No malicious intentions.

I've a book on regional jokes, although most in there cannot be posted here.....

There is a "cultural" humour that varies from one region to the next.... but lets not go down that road.

"Paddy" could be in the OP's post any regional or nationality..... It would still be humour

I found it funny, and some would call me Irish, but I am actually NORTHERN Irish. Quite proud that I am from the North, with some Southern blood in me. (I am an atheist by the way, so religion etc does NOT enter into my comment - thought I should put that in

).

But it is NOT racist. Irish is not a race, it is a nationality (it all depends on your own mind if it is an Irish person in the joke, I read Paddy with an English accent, but there you go :P)

It could be argued that ethnic or nationality jokes are a form of hostility and imply superiority of the person telling joke the English seem to pick on the Scots and Irish and English butt of many nations humour poles in USA and Canada seem to draw the short straw. However maybe it is better to use jokes rather than fists or weapons maybe a topic for someone's thesis

Half this forum could have an argument in a phone box..........on there own!!

I think the English are quite tame with Irish jokes, have you seen some of the American / Canadian ones? Some of them really do get near the knuckle.

two simple rules...

1. If it's funny it's not racist.
2. If it's offensive it's not funny.

Simples. (No offence meant towards any Russian meerkats that may be on the forum)

Example...

A Jewish guy is lying awake at 3.00 am.
His wife says, 'What is it with all this tossing and turning? You can't sleep?'
'You know the Goldbergs next door? I owe him £15,000. I'm supposed to have the money by the end of the week but we don't have any. The worry is keeping me awake.'
'Let me sort this out for you.' she say, opening up the bedroom window.
'Hey, Mr Goldberg!' she shouts, 'My husband owes you 15 grand and we don't have any money to pay you!'
'There,' she says returning to bed, 'Now it's his problem. You go to sleep.'
