Joke parameters

[giddonah]

In light of the good points made in a recent joke thread, I'm going to try to become more fair about jokes. Cole brought up the thought that this is a construction forum and that jokes should at least be related to construction. I would also like to keep things clean. I probably should have deleted a recent joke asap, but I wavered on it.

So, jokes need to be:
- related to construction (or be really damn funny)
- free of useless foul language
- free from offensive remarks

I realize this is very much subjective, which is something I don't like, but there is no formula for this and I'll try my best to be fair. Feedback on this is welcome.

Most of the jokes I've heard from construction workers and such have not been related to construction. I dont mind how you moderate this but funny is funny.

Yeah, I was just thinking about that. I don't know what to do about funny non-construction related jokes. I guess it'd better be really funny if it's not about construction :wink:

Just make sure if you talk about 2 old ladies make sure you say they are working on a house or something....

Get it?, - - wood, - - boring, - - aww, - - never mind!! :(

Sorry Tom, that one went right by me. :?

Get it?, - - wood, - - boring, - - aww, - - never mind!! :(

That reminds me of what I used to say if a good looking woman said she was bored.

"Play your cards right and you could be."

;)

Edit: Oh yeah, construction related...

iirc the last one I said something like that to was a painter.

[VALENT]

did she do the caulking too?

[rabadger]

related to construction AND clean :?

Hows do you build one of them things :?:

[Tomn]

free of useless foul language

What if the foul language is useful? lol

[Jetskii24]

I like how if its not related to construction, it must be damn funny. Nice.

A Contractor in Heaven
A contractor dies on a fishing accident on his 40th birthday and finds himself greeted at the Pearly Gates by a brass band.

Saint Peter runs over, shakes his hand and says "Congratulations!"

"Congratulations for what?" asks the contractor

"Congratulations for what?" says Saint Peter. "We are celebrating the fact that you lived to be 160 years old."

"But that's not true," says the consultant. "I only lived to be forty."

"That's impossible," says Saint Peter, "we added up your time sheets!"
