One day, three men were hiking and unexpectedly
came upon a large raging, violent river. They
needed to get to the other side, but had no idea
of how to do so. The first man prayed to God,
saying,

"Please God, give me the strength to cross this
legs, and he was able to swim across the river in
about two hours, after almost drowning a couple
of times.

Seeing this, the second man prayed to God,
saying, "Please God, give me the strength ..and
the tools to cross this river." Poof! God gave
him a rowboat and he was able to row across the
river in about an hour, after almost capsizing
the boat a couple of times.

The third man had seen how this worked out for
the other two, so he also prayed to God saying,
"Please God, give me the strength and the
tools...and the intelligence... to cross this
river." And poof! God turned him into a woman.
She looked at the map, hiked upstream a couple of
hundred yards, then walked across the bridge.

Jenny

hahahaha Excellent joke!

My mom sent me the joke with a bunch of >>>>> infront of each line, I must have been delete happy today

jujubees

Notice that the women understood it without the extra line. A natural gift for reading between the lines ...

Burzhui

Welli understood it without that line, except for the leg thing i thought he just got strength in his arms, however

A woman looked at a map:
You mean she actually looked at it in the upright position?
You mean she actually understood it?
You mean she actually walked a couple of hundred yards upstreat without bitching and moaning?
oh yea and the man were still on the other side faster

Boo ya

Good one Fabfore!

revil

Damnit, I hate these kinds of jokes. They are so stupid. I mean not all females are smart and not all men are stupid. So why generalize like this? It is quite demeaning towards males, and quite the opposite for females.

Please explain to me why this kind of joke is funny.

Jenny

Okay, now, wait. We've seen TONS of these jokes that say just the opposite in the other part of the forum. And you have NEVER said anything about them like this. Back off and quit crapping in our threads Rev.

chrissy

I actually love my husband.

Now, my ex husband on the back of a milk carton...

revil

Pardon Me for not saying anything in the other part of the forum. I just usually don't pay attn. to these types of jokes. but GGD's is a new section and i wanted to know what people here were typing about. so i read the entire post, unlike my usual skim.

Jenny

You know what? Those are JOKES! I mean, come on! Is every joke you tell true? Hell no! That is why it is called a joke! Now. If one of us were to post something like this: "Geez, all men are nothing but scum-sucking jerks that don't care about anything but ****ing the nearest airhead, no matter what her face looks like." Then yeah, you might have reason to complain. But complain about a joke?? How lame is that?

revil

Because of prejudice. It has to start somewhere. From my own personal experiences, I have found that they can stem from jokes. When I was in grade school and middle school, there were many derogatory jokes about Mexicans floating about. Because I was young and impressionable, I picked those up and used them. Later on in life, during high school, I realized I had a thing against Mexicans for no real reason. I was a bit prejudice against Mexicans and the only thing I could trace it to were all those jokes made back in grade school and middle school.

Heck, every once and a while I still say something ill about Mexicans. It's not like I mean it. It was just beaten into my head when I was a kid that it was ok to do.

That is why I do not like these kind of jokes. It is like saying it's ok to do. Now if this really happened to you or someone else, I would find it funny. However, I just do not see these broad generalized jokes funny.

[edit: added a few sentances]

Jenny

Yes, I agree. But I'm not telling my 3-year-old: "Men are stupid. Do NOT grow up to be like them." We are copying jokes that we have found elsewhere in an almost all adult forum. WE know these jokes are just that. Jokes. Not REAL put-downs to men. Just plain JOKES.


That's fine. No one said you did. But that STILL does not give you the right to come into our section and crap on our threads. If you don't agree, fine. Move on. We could care less. In fact, we welcome it. If all you are going to do is troll, we don't want you here.

ProMinx

uh oh...now you've made her mad. It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and she's all out of gum...

Isn't the G|A forum meant for all audiences? I am assuming kids do read this. I'm not talking 3 year olds, but children do not stop being impressionable at 3.

YOUR SECTION?! Since when does this forum say "girls only?!" Granted it say's girls in the title. But that does not mean it exclusivly belongs to girls and only girls can post here. If that's the way your looking at it, perhaps we should segragate the rest of the forums .

If I can't voice my opinion without being called a troll and threatened with a temp ban by trollbuster, you might as well start a petition to get rid of the first amendment. You may not like what I have to say, but I said it and there is nothing wrong with that. I could understand being threatened with these things if I were verbally attacking a person, but I wasn't.

chrissy

Rev, we get along right?

You are right, jokes are not always funny to everyone. And if we hit a soft spot with you with these jokes, I am sorry. But for a long time, a lot girls have been very "shy" about posting here at Apex. You have to admit, we are surrounded by a lot of males and male ideals here. But that is why we started our site and we would love to have a forum of our own and not just a corner of the room. But we love you guys too. And we love the banter between all of us. We are family here.

Jokes are made to make certain people laugh. I personally, don't care for fat jokes. Or racial jokes. And Blonde jokes, I just can't stand. They are not funny to me. But, they make others laugh. There is a line to draw in some cases. And as adults we should know what those lines are.

We are here for fun, laughs, support and deals, among other things. And sure the occasional distastful joke will appear, or picture will be posted that is going to step on toes. But that happens in a community like this one. And I would rather be a part of a community like this one than any other.

As for the jokes, I have read others in OT, and you know, "ehh". It's a joke.

But, then, you would have to think what GA would be like if all jokes were like this one:

A duck walks into a store and asks the manager if they have "gwapes". The manager says, "What?" and the duck replys, "Gwapes, dew you have gwapes?". The manager, looks at him funny and says no and the duck leaves. The next night the duck goes back to the store and asks, again, "Dew you have gwapes?". The manager annoyed by the duck says, "NO, and if you ask me again, I will staple your feet to the ground!" The duck leaves. The third night, the duck comes back to the store, finds the manager and asks, "Sir, do you have staples?" The manager says "no". The duck then replys "Good, dew you have any gwapes?"


And how much fun would that be?

revil

Yup .

And you shouldn't like them. They are distasteful. Just because other people laugh at them doesn't mean it's right. Other people should not laugh at them because that type joke's are offensive and insulting. I agree we should know what those lines are, but those lines are different for different people. Which I think is why people post these type of jokes, because it's not one of the lines for them.


Um, I think your missing my point about this kind of joke. It's the way the joke is told that gets me mad. This type of joke has the underlying meaning that all men are stupid and all women are smart. I don't like that type of generalization towards any group of people. If it wasn't generalized, I think it would be funny. say in the origional joke in this thread the lady is telling the story about two guys, her brother and her husband, who didn't think about looking at a map. then i could laugh at the joke because it isn't derogatory towards a group of people.

Jenny

Yes, but I think kids probably will understand that it is a JOKE! It is not directed towards anyone and it DOES NOT mean that all men are stupid. It's a JOKE!


You took that in not the way I had intended. The sole purpose of the GGD section of the forums was to give the WOMEN of GotApex a place where they could feel free to discuss things that, if we talked about on OffTopic, we would get trolled, ridiculed, laughed at, put down, etc. I DID NOT say that this part was for women only. But it SHOULD BE a section that the women feel free to post what they want, (per GAM & TrollBuster rules of course), and not feel like the guys will trample on that freedom. You guys have the entire rest of the forum to say what you will. There are several women on here who don't normally talk that have participated in the GGD section. That is because they feel comfortable enough to post in here. THAT is what I meant. I do NOT mean that you guys can not read or post in here. Like I have said before in a previous thread: EVERYONE is welcome here. Just NOT if you come in crapping on threads that you NORMALLY wouldn't do if posted if off topic. There is my main deal with this. If someone had posted this in off topic, yeah, we'd have had some guys retaliate with men are superior jokes. And that's all well and good. We would have laughed and found another women are superior joke. No big deal. But I'm almost POSITIVE you would NOT have said something, had it been in Off Topic. You know how I know?? Because YOU HAVE NEVER SAID ANYTHING BEFORE!


Again, the main reason I got upset is because you chose to voice your opinion EXCLUSIVELY in the only section of the forum that some of these women feel free to post in without being teased or ridiculed by some of the more immature members of our forum. You have NEVER said anything like this in Off Topic when there is a sexist joke, and believe me, there have been PLENTY. If you are going to voice your opinion, do it everywhere or DON'T do it in here.

Eugene

hi. interesting that a joke thread could become so heated. on a bit of a lighter note, i thought some of the jokes were pretty amusing.... i actually liked the duck & staple joke. heheh. such a smart duck.... and to the member named Kim, i think it's HILARIOUS that you're "Eternally Ensign." that is so funny! hahaha.

revil

You’re right, it is just a joke. And the joke has an underlying meaning that all men are stupid and all women are smart by not stating any specific male or female. (and I would still have a problem with this joke if the underlying meaning meant that all women are stupid and all men are smart.) just like blonde jokes say all blondes are stupid and all Pollock jokes say all Pollock’s are stupid. I don't remember who said it, but if you repeat it enough, you'll begin to think that it's true.

Your right. I probably wouldn't have posted in this thread if this joke was posted in off topic or in another forum. but as I said before, the only reason I posted it was because I was actually reading the entire posts here in GGD because I was curious what was going on in the new section. generally in off topic and the rest of the forums, there is just too much to read in the amount of time I have. So, I just skim to find one's I would like to respond to. If a joke like this one is posted, I’d read one or two lines of it, realize what it is and go on to the next thread. But for the last week I have been on vacation and I have nothing to do. So I decided to respond. And apparently made you quite upset, which was not my intent at all.

I meant no disrespect to you Jenny, or anyone else when I posted here. I definitely did not intend to anger anyone by posting here. I posted like I would have normally posted anywhere else. Granted I've never posted anything like that before, but there is a good reason for that. I usually don't pay attn. to this type of joke. In fact I try to ignore this type of joke. But since I told myself to read through fully a few of the GGD threads, it forced me to pay attn. to that joke. I consider my post normal. If I read this thread anywhere else and had the time to reply (like I have now), I would have posted the same thing.

No. I usually don't have the time nor the energy to post like I did in this forum. If you've read any of my posts from before, you'll notice they are quite short. Posting this much is quite abnormal for me because I hate typing a lot (and to think that I'm a CS major, weird isn't it?).


I'm getting tired of arguing my point and tired of defending myself. I don't want people to get the impression things will get argued like this because it's in the GGD section, so if you have anything more to say to me, Please PM me.

revil

Ya, I think we all like that one. In fact I believe us forum junkies asked Leon to make Kim Ensign Forever. One of the lucky few who get their own title.

fabfore1

There were 11 people hanging onto a rope dangling from a helicopter.

Ten were men and one was a woman. They all decided that one person
should get off because if someone didn't, the rope would break and
everyone would die. No one could decide who would go so finally the
woman gave a really touching speech saying how she would give up
her life to save the others, because women were used to giving up
hings for their husbands and children, giving to men and not receiving
anything in return. When she finished speaking all the men applauded.

NEVER underestimate the power of a woman.

trying to get me arguing again? Please stop posting jokes in a thread and start another.
