I had a belly laugh if you cant take a joke then just be quiet. The world is getting too liberal. soon we wont be able to have conversation. From what I'n seeing of the young people texting is the new wave of communication. Too bad they cant speak to each other.

"There is more to tell, Father. She started to repay me with sexual favours. This happened several times a week and sometimes twice on Sundays."



The priest said, "That was a long time ago and by doing what you did, you placed the two of you in great danger, but two people under those circumstances can easily succumb to the weakness of the flesh. However, if you are truly sorry for your actions, you are indeed forgiven."



"Thank you, Father. That's a great load off my mind. But I do have one more question."



"And what is that?" asked the priest.



"Should I tell her the war is over?


Very poor taste!

Having grown up in a heavily conservative, deeply religious and widely accepting family in a well-integrated community, it has always been difficult for me to understand the broad claims of systemic racism that we have been hearing lately. However, it is posts like this (i.e. Jewish woman selling her body to protect her life), however innocent they may have been intended, that enable this type of insensitivity to bolster claims of nascent racism. Don't help to fuel these fires. Please think before acting.

OMG people grow some thicker skin. It was a cute joke if you didn’t like it too bad.

I enjoyed the joke. Thanks for sharing.

The first thing to go in old age is, one’s sense of humor. 🤣

And since this was WWII the subjects of this joke would be close to 100 years old. I doubt there's much hanky panky going on at this point.

There are some things that should not be the stuff of jokes.

Boomer

Tolerance:

...Which, of course, is precisely what makes the joke funny.

Respectfully, your point (above) suggests that it is OK to agree or disagree on whether or not the holocaust was a bad thing.I think this goes beyond "tolerance".

Nonetheless I will make you a deal: Share this "joke" with your Jewish friends. If they find it as humorous as some others do I will concede that I need a thicker skin.

When I read this the only thing I took from it was that it was a joke about a horny little man. The Holocaust never crossed my my mind until the thought police arrived.

There is nothing in that joke that comes close to saying the holocaust was not a bad thing.

Exhibit A right here. 65 yo Jew here... I found the joke funny (albeit, not a knee slapper)...

I remember Joan Rivers' comments, when confronted about her "Holocaust Jokes". She had many and some made this one look like a "knock-knock joke"...

She stated that NOTHING was "out of bounds" when it came to humor. If people would groan at her concerts, she would double down and hit them with and even more outrageous joke...

She had Hitler Jokes, Concentration Camp jokes, Anne Frank jokes, even jokes about the Crematoriums!

When commenting on Heidi Klum's show stopping Oscars gold dress with a seriously plunging neckline, Rivers remarked Monday, “The last time a German looked this hot was when they were pushing Jews into the ovens.”

She even told a joke about he husband Edgar (who lost most of his family in the Holocaust), who lost a leg in Europe, fighting the Nazis. She said "Leaving his leg there was "littering", and That's Wrong!"

She said she told the joke to "shake people's memories"...

Here is an interesting article titled the "Schlemiel Theory" that may enlighten some:
