You could not make this shit up.

Yeah I saw that over the weekend... oh sorry, "weekend" may be offensive to someone that works at weekends... So I rephrase; I saw that over the non-judgmental, non-denominational two day alternative work segment.

Guy is driving along the road and his car stops working. He opens the bonnet and is scratching his chin. A voice behind him says "your ht lead has come adrift mate". Sure enough the HTlead was the problem. The guy looks behind to thank the stranger who helped him out. He is confronted by a big white horse. The horse can not only speak perfect English. He's also not a bad mechanic.
The guy is totally spooked by this strange event. He drives to the nearest pub and orders a triple brandy to calm his nerves.
The barmaid says to him that he looks like he has had a nasty shock.
He says "Damned right I've had a shock. I've just been told how to fix my car by a fucking horse!"
Barmaid..."Was it a big white horse?"
Man...."Yes it was"
Barmaid..."You were lucky"
Man...."Why is that?"
Barmaid...."Because the little black horse knows fuck all about mechanics"

All of the sudden I am accused of being a racist FFS!!!!!!

TBH, olgit, the real issue there is that it is such a shit joke!

How about this one then;
My mate has just been sacked from his job at a Fairground.
It's ok though because he is suing them for Funfair dismissal.

That's so bad it's good!

It's soul-destroying: people were too stupid to understand the difference between 'guerilla' and 'gorilla' and the TV channel caved in and sacked him rather than point out that those people complaining were fucking idiots.

The judges refused their right to do so as it "may cause human rights issues."
Surely people should have the right to marry or not,or enter into civil partnerships with ANYONE they choose,as long as they obviously meet legal requirements such as age,marital status etc.

I found this deeply ironic to say the least, for years Homosexual couples campaigned hard to be recognised as a legal couple and argued that by not doing so they were discriminated against (rightly), now a Heterosexual couple want the same right it 'may cause human rights issues' but surely that is equally as discriminatory, i unfortunately get the feeling things are only really discriminatory if you belong to a minority group these days

If you want to be taken seriously nowadays you need to be a black wheelchair bound homosexual dwarf.

Or Spuddy, as he is also known!
