I meant "GROUP" and "SENSE" of humour of course :blush:<br> Have I missed a group out ? <br>(Don’t think the English should really be in the list but felt obliged to include them to keep the Taffs and Jocks quiet

Watch out Insomniac, the PC brigade will be after you now;)  From my own experience, I’d say that groups from a Pakistani origin have the least sense of humour.
Being slightly to the right of Right I’d be tempted to say the lot of them, with the exception of the English of course. ;)
Yet after recent events of the papal kind, I put Muslims, and that’s before we mention Danish cartoon-makers…
Germans and socialists were a close joint-second. Once upon a time I’d have gone for vegetarians but for the past year I’ve known one who is absolutely hilarious!
Being of German stock I have to defend the Teutonic propensity to humour. There are plenty that are a scream – you just have to find them. Films such as Der Bewegte Mann and Abbuzze still make me pee after repeat viewings, as do the likes of Karl Dall, Grune Kaktus, etc.

Definitely Muslims have the worst sense of humour .. closely followed by all of the groups with issues.
.. Germans don’t have a sense of humour Jeremy – they thought the Birdie Song was hilarious.
Jocks have the best sense of humour .. !<br>:biggrin: <br>
Not all of them, Dave, and that particular piece of evidence only counts for as much or as little as the masses of British who have enjoyed Little And Large, Pam Ayres, Les Dennis, Agadoo and the like over the last few decades (whether they admit to it or not). :)

I think the Scots have a good sence of humour, they must do because they still support their football and rugby teams:biggrin:
I also think that the muslims do have a sence of humour because of their fashion sence……..
I mean, whats that all about?
Walking round the streets with pyjamas on and covering up Mrs Muslims face. Jeez, they must be ugly!
I dont think that the muslim terrorists tell many jokes though.

True GC, but we’ve grown apart since then. They have remained the same whereas we have moved on. A real Aryan split, so to speak.
The British have moved on? When Jim Davidson is still allowed to walk the Earth without having pipes stuck in him and It’s Chico Time sells by the tenement-load? Further convincing required. :)

I’m with Jeremy on this one, Germans are, by and large very amusing.
So amusing, in fact, that the only reason the English couldn’t recognise this is because the English are a bunch of humourless b*****d

Wie riecht er?
Some Scottish humour.
God sat with the Angel Gabriel, discussing the creation of all the nations which would make up the World. They came to Scotland.
God outlined his plans. "I will make Scotland a northern paradise. It shall have wonderful mountains, the sides of which will be carpeted in the most beautiful violet heather and among which will roam herds of statuesque red deer. Between the mountains shall sit glens of startling beauty and tranquility beside abundant rivers which I will ensure are stocked with the world’s finest salmon and the most perfect trout. The coastline I will serve with many natural harbours, allowing the people of the land to reap the harvest of the oceans and seas nearby, which will teem with life."
Gabriel sighed as God went on.
"The land shall be suitable for the finest agriculture and its people will never go hungry. I will endow the country with oil and gas and coal in abundance. The Scottish people will be industrious, intelligent, hard working and entrepreneurial. They will be among the finest engineers, inventors, financiers, physicians, scientists and educators on the globe and they shall travel throughout the world with their knowledge, making the world a better place in the process."
Gabriel stopped God for a second, "Lord, that is more than you have given any other country, what, may I ask with the greatest respect, have the Scots done to deserve such favours".
God looked at Gabriel and a wry smile broke across his face, for he was a God of mischievious humour. "Wait until you hear who their neighbours are going to be!". <br>

How come there is no "yorkshire" there?
Moslems have a damn fine sense of humour…far better than yorkie bars.:o :biggrin:
Oh and lolly’s mate…you have clearly never made love to a woman in a yashmak. I HIGHLY recommend it.:o
Moslem women are the sexiest women on earth. They do not have to get their bits out to entice. You do remember eyes don’t you? Our women in the west use to have them too.
Here is a Moslem joke told to me by my Bangladeshi friends, and they swear it is based on a true story that happened to one of their friends in the eighties:
There are four men on a lifeboat and the food is running out. One is a Jew, another a moslem, another a Frenchman, and the other from yorkshire.
Every night the yorkie bar talks in his sleep.<br>"’ow bloody much? Are thee ‘aving a laff?"<br>he shouts repeatedly.
The Jew is the only one who has salvaged any food, and sells it to his fellow survivors a little at a time, which actually rations it quite well.
Each time he asks for a financial contribution, and each time the Yorkshire man is the only one who complains.
Finally the frenchman is sick of it. He has salvaged some wine, and offers it to the yorkshire man, but the moslem and the Jew decline politely.
The yorkshireman starts complaining about everything once a drink is inside of him.
The Frenchman decides if they completely run out of food they will kill him and eat him. While he is asleep, he puts the idea to the others. They do not go along with it, saying that it wouldn’t be halal/kosher, and anyway neither can eat swine.
So they manage to survive on the Jews sensible handling of the rations. A month, two months pass.
The poor Moslem is frantic as without a compass he does not know which direction Mecca is to pray, but is pretty sure it must be in the direction facing away from the whingeing, belching youkshireman, so does his best.
They are parched but manage to survive on a little rainwater and their own urine. They catch the odd fish, and share it. Sharks and high winds give them many scares, and they are drifting without control and with no land in sight in all this time.
Eventually, after a considerable amount of time, they get picked up by a trawler from Grimsby.
"Eee lads…its good to see theee…we been stuck out in these shark infested waters for four month, wi nothin to eat or drink and ‘aven’t got a clue what’s bin ‘appening in t’ news. As much ‘appened?
"Aye" says the trawler Captain. Thee could say that lad. You ‘ave missed a big thing y’ave too.. .."His eyes light up, being from Yorkshire himself.<br>"I don’t know ‘ow to tell you ‘cos it is very exciting so make sure you sit down first lad."<br>The yorkshire survivor sits down , and braces himself for the alarming news.<br>"Four months thee say, wi’ out radio or owt t’ keep thee informed?"
The Trawler Captain gives him a cup of tetley and breaks to him what he has missed:
<br>"Geoff Boycott has made two runs and was nearly given lbw".
