This gave me a laugh before I shook with rage

I don’t know whether you noticed, but almost every time in people are asked in those dopey quizzes what they find most attractive in other people, a sense of humour comes top.

So Marc Howells, head of Barclaycard in Europe must have been getting a lot more than his fair share. A while ago he reported quarterly figures in a staff meeting by saying: “The results were like Muslims – some were good, some were Shiite”.

This admirable man, who genuinely deserves to have sex objects clambering all over him all day was reported to the Obergruppenfuhrer in charge of bollocks by some odious creep who probably hasn’t been laid in ten years – and sacked, when he should have been promoted six layers at least.

Then another sexually disadvantaged buffoon at Barclaycard said, “We have a robust approach to equality and diversity and do not tolerate discrimination.” Sad twat.

I found this at an excellent website – The Chap Magazine. Go to http://www.thechap.net/content/section_news/pcworld.html for more bizarre examples of PC stupidity, and a hysterical comparison of Mugabe with A. Hitler on hirsute grounds.

    A Pakistani died and went up to heaven. When he got to the Gates he rang the bell.
    St Peter came and opened up. “What the hell do you want?”
    “I’ve come for Jesus” replied the Pakistani.
    Turning round, St Peter shouted, “Jesus, your cab’s here!”

    Dratyon, you need to learn how to put links in your posts.

    Or do you do it on purpose so readers don’t click away from your words?

    I admire anybody who has the balls to stand up to the repression of humour and freedom to say what one likes at the risk of coming under fire from the PC brigade.

    We need more people like this.

    I can only adapt for Hayes Thompson what Dr. Johnson said whan a lady asked him why in his dictionary he defined a horse’s pastern, quite wrongly, as its knee.

    “Ignorance, Madam. Pure ignorance.”

    It took me years to master the typewriter; the computer often has me baffled.
