Quote: I do not see why not liking to use cuss words is in any way related to one's age. It isn't (in most cases anyway).
Quote: I think ethnic humor (which, other than the 'pleasure' of using cuss words, is what this joke is all about) is one of the lowest forms of humor. Good for you, I like pretty much any form of humor as long as it's funny (surprise) but I doubt anything will ever be more humorous than Monty Python.
The point is that you can find it funny even though it has cus words or ethnic humor or kangeroos in it.

| how useless was that post...anyway i disagree about ethnic humor in one case that you may have overlooked. it s really funny on the occasion that the person of that ethnicity is the one telling the jokes. until recently i would have agreed with that but then i saw the original latin kings of omedy and couldnt stop laughing the entire time, go figure. |

| Yes, that is an exception (I tell Russian jokes because I am Russian, but I would be uncomfortable telling other ethnic jokes). Reading Isaac Asimov's Treasury of Humor, I noticed him expressing much the same point of view. |
