A Little Friday Humor!!! Dear Husband I'm writing you this letter to tell you that I'm leaving you >for good. I've been a good woman to you for seven years and I have nothing >to show for it. >These last two weeks have been hell. Your boss called to tell me that you >had quit your job today and that was the last straw. Last week, you came >home and didn't notice that I had gotten my hair and nails done, cooked >your favorite meal and even wore a brand new negligee. You came home and >ate in two minutes, and went straight to sleep after watching the game. You >don't tell me you love me anymore, you don't touch me or anything. Either >you're cheating or you don't love me anymore, what ever the case is, I'm >gone. >Your >EX-Wife >P.S. If you're trying to find me, don't. Your BROTHER and I are moving away >to West Virginia together! Have a great life! > >Reply: > >Dear >Ex-Wife >Nothing has made my day more than receiving your letter. It's true that you >and I have been married for seven years, although a good woman is a far cry >from what you've been. >I watch sports so much to try to drown out your constant nagging. Too bad >that doesn't work. I did notice when you cut off all of your hair last >week, the first thing that came to mind was "You look just like a man!" My >mother raised me to not say anything if you can't say anything nice. >When you cooked my favorite meal, you must have gotten me confused with MY >BROTHER, because I stopped eating pork seven years ago. I went to sleep on >you when you had on that new negligee because the price tag was still on >it. I prayed that it was a coincidence that my brother had just borrowed >fifty dollars from me that morning and your negligee was $49.99. >After all of this, I still loved you and felt that we could work it out. >So when I discovered that I had hit the lotto for ten million dollars, I >quit my job and bought us two tickets to Jamaica. But when I got home you >were gone. Everything happens for a reason I guess. I hope you have the >fulfilling life you always wanted. My lawyer said with your letter >that you wrote, you won't get a dime from me. So take care. >And by the way, I don't know if I ever told you this but Carl, my brother >was born Carla. I hope that's not a problem. >Signed Rich As Hell and Free!

Being an advocate for gay, lesbian, transsexual, intersexed and transgendered folks; I feel saddened about the "humor" in that bit. Yeah... I know it is a joke, but it still made a slap at the integrity of a person who had the transition done. While that story/joke could happen... most folks who "changed" are NOT like that at all. PS. I find it interesting that it is considered politically incorrect these days to make racist jokes, or whatever.... But anyone not of the standard male/female orientation are too often the subject of jokes and misunderstandings. The new minorty to make fun of, or persecute or worse. ------------------ Age is a State of Mind.

Oh fayte....I'm sorry! I guess I never thought of that! (maybe it's because I've never personally known any transgendered person) Poor excuse, I know......... .....but anyway, in no way would I EVER intentionally make fun of anybody for anything........ I was just laughing at what I thought was a funny joke........(god knows we all need a little humor in our lives now and then to because as they say.....it's good medicine) I think it tickled my funny bone before I ever got to the last part (about Carla)......just to think that the gal missed out on the trip and all that money.........the joke could have ended right there, without there ever being a Carla and I still would have thought it was funny...... If I ever decide to repeat the joke...I'll leave Carla out... Sorry if I offended you..... I'll try to be more sensitive toward that sort of thing in the future.... Love, Rainbow~ IP: Logged |

Rainbow~ Mama Mia Just a little touchy tonight. I know it was a joke. And there are folks like that without honestly in both the heterosexual world and otherwise. So in essence... It was funny. It is just that I tried to help a suicidal person over these kind of gender issues recently, so I am a bit over touchy at the moment. I have not heard back from them so still do not know if they are ok or not. My apologies for getting riled up. ------------------ Age is a State of Mind.

Oops, my bad! I guess I didn't notice Carla because I have a Louis/Louise whom i send out to work every day and she tells jokes like that almost daily. My sincere apologies, Fayte. I guess I got too used to someone who actually lives the lifestyle telling jokes like that that I was thrown off by one who advocates those lifestyles. I'm sure she's heard this one before, but I'll share it with her today and see what her reaction is to it. Again, I apologize for my comments Fayte. Spry IP: Logged |

aquaspryt69 I totally understand. I am glad the person you know is comfortable enough to make jokes. Not all are though. Again I apologize for being touchy. Thank you for understanding why. But yes...the joke was amusing. If I look at it as a couple game players getting their comeuppence, it was very funny indeed! Rainbow...tell the joke as is. You and Mama Mia are fine. It is just a joke after all. I get touchy over jokes about bad eyesight, fat folks, and old folks too at times.
