    I would probably laugh if someone did an axe in Hitler's head joke.

    See how quiet it is all of a sudden?
    Bad topic to mention, very bad topic, worse than poitics for pub talk, really about the worst one.
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    I heard Heather Mills McCartney was a Nazi... took her until the Third Hike to climb a hill in Germany.
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    There's plenty of bad examples of jokes that shouldn't be made. Plenty of words that shouldn't be said. Plenty of a lot of things. To those I offended I am sorry. It was not to make light of the Holocaust. Please resume your drinking thread.

    I agree with you. But most don't feel that way. It also doesn't mean I'm exempt from manning up and apologizing if it appears I offended somebody.

    Wasn't a judgement on you my friend, don't be offended.
    Hicks was a controversial guy, no? We were talking about him, so fair enough. I have this German friend, he lived nearby for a while, and one night some fucker mentioned it in the pub......what a fucking bad scene that was, one to forget I can tell you.

    I'm not offended. To my knowledge Hicks doesn't even have a Holocaust routine. There, in it's audacity, was the joke. But I'm ready to move on. How about everyone else?

    but the 'focker' probably mentioned it out of spite and and did the usual hooligan thing of the holocaust and nazi thing being a joke.. which it isnt.. but Hicks had more nous than the average guy in the pub.. controversial he was, but i think his views are quite libertarian in the scheme of things.. he hated war, guns, death sentences, authoritarianism and homophobia... great guy in my book

    To be honest, all it takes to get appropriate humour out of a very dark subject is a bit of intelligence.

    OK, but what shall we call it so that we'll get the widest possible audience? (Don't mention the war!)

    I'm totally sober, funnily enough, so you won't be on your own.

    You're correct.
    I also remember the routine I heard was going on about the 1st Gulf war, he was very against it..."the elite republican guard in Iraq is the 3rd biggest army...what they didn't tell us was that after the top 2...there's a big fuckin drop off..."
    I got that he's anti war from what I heard.
    And stop being so bloody smart Dunk, you're throwing me.
