J o k e : What do you think?

Question

Received violation notices for the following jokes - what's Yahoo's problem?
A man goes into a bar looking glum.
"What's the matter?" asks the barman.
"I've just discovered my eldest son is gay," says the man.
A week later the man is back looking even more miserable. He says to the barman, "I've just discovered my second son is gay."
A weeks later he's back looking extremely depressed. "Today my youngest son told me he's gay as well."
"Heck," says the barman..."Does anyone in your family like women?"
"Yes," says the man. "It turns out my wife does." :)
<><><>
A man pushes his car into the garage and tells the mechanic that the engine just died on him in the street. After a few moments of tinkering under the bonnet, the engine is purring again.
"Great," says the driver. "How did you fix it?"
"Just cr*p in the carburretor," replies the mechanic.
"Okay," replies the man. "So how often do I do that?"

(Do you think these jokes deserved violation notices? :o)

Answer 1

that has been reported out of malice - no other possible explanantion
incidentally can I please ask EVERYONE to complain about Violations when they are not warranted.?
A lot of people have been deleted recently after working very hard to get up to a level where they can ask and answer unlimited.

If you get violated for something that is NOT even close to being offensive, please report it with the email header "harassment by another user" and state that you do not deserve this violation. Say that it is harassment and you want the matter investigated and the REPORTERS account suspended.

I will be reporting EVERY one from now on

Lets stop the mindless yobs destroying our work

Just one point though. If you deserve the Violation - take it on the chin !

Answer 2

Not at all.I thought the first one was really funny. But so the other day i got a notice saying i was reported because i left the answer "who cares about these stupid questions. No one can figure them out" for a question that said something like 1 plane is leaving L.A. at a certain time going ??mph. THen another is leaving N.Y.C. at ?? time going ?? mph. When they pass each other who will be closer to N.Y.C. (but they did have the actual m.p.h and time i just dont remember them) and my answer was reported!!! But your jokes shouldn't have been reported thats just the stupid people we have to deal with nowadays!! THey should all go Fuc* themselves.

Answer 3

They are good, but not lol funny. I like the first one, but it took a little bit longer to get the second one (Lol. Maybe I am just slow).

Answer 4

Well F. I thik you have a problem with gay mechanics. Other than that can't see what's all the fuss about

Answer 5

i dont think so fingers but who reports them to yahoo a lot of the jokers on here have gone dont know if they are banned or not 10/10

Answer 6

I didnt take offence to them, but then i'm not gay. You need to be careful what you write, cos someone will always take offence to stuff - like they say, you cant please everyone all of the time!!

(I thought they were both quite funny actually!! - crap in the carburretor!!!)

Answer 7

no those violations were probably made by gay and lesbians who are overly critical and too sensitive thats why there gay don't send me none of your hate mail cuz i'll report you ha ha ha backfired!

Answer 8

Answer 9
