Others (The Queen, the gays, people of faith, etc) should be treated humorously but with some degree of kindness and generosity. I'd like to think that the latter could read my posts and have a bit of a chuckle, but it's always a tough call.</p> <p>I stick to this format religiously, but like my own catholicism, consequently lapse and go hell-bound on a regular basis. </p> <p>Personal tragedies are a no no in my book (well, excluding Richard III).</p> <p>The amazing Stephen Hawking is, I'm afraid, solid gold for both physicists and comedy writers. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=47985&page=2#post-138625 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 09:07:10 +0000 Sinnick 138625@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I'm so sorry for your condition, Gerontius, I hope the Doctor's given you plenty of medicine to help you recover and get back to being normal like us (tongue pressed firmly into cheek)</p> <p>There's a rather nice phrase around here, you can imagine it being used by middle-aged women gossiping over the fence, with this being mouthed rather than spoken aloud.

A tragedy where innocent people died.<br /> 2. Any subject involving children.<br /> 3. Any subject involving a named individual who can not or is not in a position to respond or counter.</p> <p>Therefore jokes about people in the public eye, unnamed mongoloids, unnamed spastics, ethnic groups (not individuals), dwarfs, unnamed homosexuals, Ricky Gervais and other freak shows are okay by me. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=47985#post-138124 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 23:47:18 +0000 The All New Jeni B 138124@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Duke, some tourists committed a terrible <strike>attroci</strike> thing. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=47985#post-138118 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 22:52:27 +0000 Scroat 138118@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Yes sorry GLBT was the thingmy I was after there.

The problem is it would rely on so many unacceptable stereotypes that I would be universally derided. Then I would have to have a flounce. The best part was the name. It was going to be called the Gaymes.</p> <p>If that was the best part, the rest must have been crap. </p> <p>I put this here though because I wouldn't go that far. So please don't deride me universally. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=47985#post-137958 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 21:00:55 +0000 Ironduke 137958@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Dvo used to have his finger on the pulse of moral sensitivity. </p> <p>Now he's managed to get his hand round its throat. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=47985#post-137948 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 20:28:38 +0000 charlies_hat 137948@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>It happened to me very recently, at the time of Winnie Johnson dying, and I'm still feeling self loathing about my comedy tourettes thought. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=47985#post-137940 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 19:52:54 +0000 JohnA 137940@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>A lot of us have sick jokes come to mind when there are tragedies, which must be a psychological coping strategy bequeathed by our evolutionary history.
