Bloke in Barnsley is mourning the passing of his wife, married for over 60 years.

He goes to the stone mason and dictates the inscription on the headstone.

The inscription ends with '...She were thine'

A few days later he goes to inspect the mason's handiwork.

He says to the mason 'Tha's got it wrong, you missed out the E'.

The mason apologies profusely, saying 'I am ever so sorry sir. I will put it right for the day of the funeral'.

Day of funeral arrives. After the service the mourners leave the church and gather around the grave.

The old man is speechless. The headstone now reads 'Eeee!, she were thin'!!!

At a quid a word all he could afford was the words "Irene is dead "

Feeling sorry for him, the editor tells him for the same price he can have 3 more words .

The old man writes down on the notepaper and hands it back to the editor who reads out 

"Irene is dead .......metro for sale "

A fleeing Taliban, desperate for water, was plodding through the Afghan desert when he saw something far off in the distance. Hoping to find water, he hurried toward the oasis, only to find a little old Jewish man at a small stand, selling ties.The Taliban asked, "Do you have water? The Jewish man replied, "I have no water but would you like to buy a tie? They are only $5.00".The Taliban shouted, "Idiot! I do not need an over-priced tie.I need water! I should kill you, but I must find water first!"
"OK," said the old Jewish man, "It does not matter that you do not want to buy a tie and that you hate me. I will show you that I am bigger than that. If you continue over that hill to the east for about two miles, you will find a lovely restaurant. It has all the ice cold water you need. Shalom." Cursing, the Taliban staggered away over the hill. Several hours later he staggered back, almost dead & said, "Your ****ing brother won't let me in without a tie."

This joke is an old one - but didn’t necessarily involve the subjects chosen here. 

 

Any comment on why this couldn’t simply be “a man / women is in the desert”.

The joke writer was clearly a racist. I'm sure this joke will deeply offend all of the taliban reading it. You should report wortho to the police for peddling online hate speach.

Just pondering why the characters in this joke required a specific identity.

 

Obviously there can be a deeper conversation on how the shaping of stories and jokes can identify can reveal a deeper inner narrative and that sometimes jokes are not just jokes, they can be used to push an underlying agenda... but there's no punchline to that, so it's probably not for the jokes thread. 

 

Ultimately - I'm not looking to put a label on @Wortho like you have - I've just challenged his positioning of the jokes.
