I should go look up some REALLY funny stuff, good jokes about NIGGERS and how abused women “just wont fuckin listen!” …You know, really funny stuff making fun of people who are different than us.
Ah… very enlightening stuff on a board dedicated to fighting ignorance.
I give up.
You are right, everyone who lives in trailers are inbred trash who fuck their cousins, all black people are crack heads, all muslims are terrorists, women LIKE it when you treat them bad…
Beleive it LNO, I only check the boards about once a week, its too hot to be inside.
Howdy eve, I have been pretty busy, Mom isnt doing well so I am with her at her home, and recently at the hospital, and I am home on unemployment until sept when I return to school, I try to do as much with the kids as I can afford, this is the first real summer vacation they ever had.
My name is Kehli, and I am an Evercrack addict. Look for me in Kunark on Erollissi Marr server, I am Kehli Behli, enchantress Lvl 26, of the champions of Kaos…
( I am SO gratefull for this distraction, I cant even tell you!)
Oh good, I’m not the only humorless prig who doesn’t laugh at the term “trailer trash.”
By the grace of extreme self-restraint, I’m going to spare all of you my rant about the lack of affordable housing and the role (however regrettable) that dwellings like trailers… OH SHUT UP CRANKY!

Like blondes, trailer trash is a state of mind, not a situation. I’ve known trailer trash who lived in nice houses, and I have friends who are the salt of the earth who live in trailers.
I posted these for the humour, not to upset PC sensibilities. I’m also quite capable of laughing at myself, so if you have military humour feel free to post it here.
For you and others who are easily offended, accept my apologies.
Cranky’s comment about affordable housing reminded me of a situation in my hometown.
There is an old, run down, extremely dumpy trailerpark outside of town. I’ve known really nice people who have lived there, and I’ve lived in a trailer too, so please no flaming.
The county found out that the electricity system was way out of date and a major hazard. The electrical boxes were duct taped shut, and the wiring between the boxes and the trailers was dangerous as well. There are quite a few kids in the park, I’m suprised no one got hurt.
The county wanted to shut down the park because the owners wouldn’t fix it. The residents, who can’t afford to live anywhere else in the area, had to hire their own lawyer to try to stop the county. They all finally reached an agreement and the owners are going to make the repairs. The residents had to hold a garage sale and sell their own possessions to pay the lawyer.They were just days from having their electricity cut and being kicked out of their homes.
It’s a rural area, so there is very little subsidized housing and what there is, is still to expensive for some people. Most of the people who live there are on disability and welfare, and housing is real tight in the area.
I would just like to state for the record that i have lived my entire life in a trailer park.
There are two halves to the park: the end I live on and the other little road. The end i live on is mostly elderly people, with one or two young families just starting out. The other end is - I kid you not - made up of about 25 trailers occupied by the interbred descendants of exactly 2 families. I do not exaggerate. Every “trailer trash” joke in the world applies to them. And they are all bastards whose children used to beat me up, throw rocks at me and roll me in cow manure every day.
(Okay, probably especially the dirty ones…but I’m like that)
I’ll take socio-economic ones too though. if you run out of blond jokes. (I do like listening to Jeff Foxworthy though. He just has the voice for it! You’re laughing at him and with him all at once.)
Actually … to be honest, there WAS a park in my area that was run down and shabby - ok, it was AWFUL! the city prosecuted the owner, a ninety some yr old loony, and she did JAIL TIME rather than fix the place up!
There are prob another half a dozen parks in my area, most of which have waiting lists to get into, the newest one has all landscaped treed lots, paved driveways, groomed trails through the woods, parks for kids, and TONS of rules about how you keep your lot - they would be as strict as the stuck up subdidisions on snob hill. BUT, working class people can live there.
Like any tired cliche, it has basis in truth, there ARE some scummy low class people in trailers, but to lump us all together is to say that all blacks living in the ‘projects’ are welfare bums selling crack. A crack like that would have you ostracized, so I guess that I would just ask that is you want to poke fun, go for it, but you can take the trailer out of trailer trash, and its just as funny.
I like the one about the inlaws myself - that was funny.
No personal offence take though vb, I know you didnt mean it that way
