The bouncer said, "Sorry, I can't let any of you in without a Thai."

To be truly politically correct, avoiding irreverent nick-names, wouldn't the entries have to be: "an Australian", "an American", "a Japanese", "a New Zealander", "a Serbian(?)"

And wouldn't it a member of door security, or similar, these days.

:lol:

A definition worth remembering:

There's an annual contest at Bond University, Australia, calling for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term.

This year's chosen term was, "political correctness".

The winning student wrote:

"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of **** by the clean end."

I just noticed that the original word rhyming with pit has been changed for dung :lol:

The worst thing is, we're actually paying these so-called politically correct do-gooders to force all this stuff on to us.

Oh for the return of the days of good old common sense!

Not likely to happen any time soon though, too many people making too much money out of it!!!

Life is one huge pendulium. Not so long back it was OK to smoke, not now the pendulium has swung so much that you are dirty almost if you smoke. Being homosexual was a huge NO NO, now they can adopt children and get 'married'?

Now you can't call a blackboard a blackboard, or have a christmas tree in a christian country, or some parts of it.

You can't berate any underlings, but they can kick the sh!t out of you and if you try to defend yourself you are predjudiced against them!

The pendulium will swing on forever and no kind of common sense will stop it, especially when the doo gooder clowns keep giving ot a push!

"The pendulium will swing on forever"

Funny sort of pendulum. :?

Dear oh dear it doesn't take much to set them off!

It's very popular this idea of "political correctness gorn mad' but it's like "elf n safety gorn mad" - mostly total nonsense except for a few little anomalies and irritations.
e.g. There's nothing politically incorrect about making a pun on "Thai" and "tie". May or may not be funny but it isn't political or offensive in any way at all.
And you can call a blackboard a blackboard. There may be some confusion here as they have largely been replaced by whiteboards - not because it is politically more correct, but because they are white. Maybe some people don't realise this?

The "clowns keep giving it a push" are not usually "do gooders" either, as we see here.

I though the point behind the joke would be more to do with the equality of including many races, and creeds, followed by a non derogatory wordplay punchline simply based on yet another person from a different country.

Mind you, would Muslims be going to a nightclub where there was likely to be scantily clad women, evocative music and alcohol? :wink:

The thing that really gets to me is the use of the word ‘Chair’ instead of Chairman/woman. A chair is an inanimate object and whilst I have been in meetings where the chairman was as much use as a chair….

Also Actor to describe either a male or female etc.

As in, "The chair is tabling a motion!"

A blackboard is very often called a chalk board because there are a lot of areas inthe U.K. that have banned the original name, and I do happen to know what a white board is so no need for you to describe it thank you!

Actor, actress? I thought there were 2 words there :mrgreen: but I won't say that very loud??

They don't need to go to night clubs with their harems Nans and when they want to booze they just leg it off into the desert and get smashed out there..

Completely untrue (about the ban that is). What a very silly idea!
Sometimes called chalkboards yes - because they are used with chalk as distinct from modern boards with felt tips etc.

If you looked closely at the "blackboards", at my school in the 1970s, they were actually a very dark green.
