OK, this tale involves a phenomenally offensive joke. Seriously, if you are easily offended, or maybe even not so easily, you will hate me forever after reading this. I ask that you not continue reading if you read/hear purposely offensive jokes and take them seriously enough to complain.
Well, there’s this good friend of mine, I’ll call G. G and I are pretty close, so when I crack a really offensive joke to him, he knows I don’t mean it literally. He realized that humor of the joke lies in its offensiveness. Hence, we often try to make each other laugh by saying the most offensive thing we can think of to each other. We are usually careful not to do this when others are present.
So, G and I are at a bar, with a third party D; it must been on or near labor day. I was fairly good friends with D, but not close enough to make the jokes of type previously described. So, we’re having some drinks, and the conversation turns to pedophilia. G makes the comment that he thinks there’s a big difference between the guy who looks at picture of a 16 year old vs a pic of a 6 year old. At this point, something about the Jerry Lewis telethon comes on TV. The very tasteless offensive joke comes to my mind, and I whisper it to G. "The best part about molesting a Jerry’s Kid is that he can’t run away!"As I said before, we simply try to offend each other, and do not find it funny at all when these things actually happen.
So G think that was a good one, and calls the bartender over to tell her it. I’m horrified, and tell him NO NO NO!!! But it’s too late; she comes over and against my objections tells her. Thankfully, she seems to realize it’s just a dumb tasteless joke not to be taken seriously.
But I find out today that D is no longer speaking to G because of some conversation that night he took offense at. It could have been my “joke” that he overheard G relaying to the bartender, or it could have simply been G’s statement about guys looking at pics of 16 year olds (D has a daughter about that age). I don’t think this is the case though, because G has always preferred women considerably older than himself, and D knows this. But anything is possible.
But my point is this. G, when I tell you one of these “jokes”, KEEP THEM TO YOURSELF!!! There a goddamn reason why I whispered it to you, dumbshit!
