Because it's quiet and I like to be proved right

[Vargster]

Here's a story for you all.

The other night me and some mates were hanging out and drinking and playing poker etc, and for whatever reason someone started chatting about living in the ocean. This ridiculous idea soon sprung into each of us naming what creature we'd like to be (normally to be able to eat whatever the last person named as their creature of choice.)

Anyway, eventually one girl said she would be a whale, and I quickly piped up with "Just make sure you keep away from those damn Japanese whalers!"

I thought it was funny, as did some others, but she however started going on about how racist I was to say such a thing. My point that I went on to explain was that I only said Japanese whalers because recently they have been a big news item and have received lots of coverage for their unethical and sometimes unlawful whaling expeditions.

Her whole point was that I should have just called them whalers, not Japanese whalers. I then said "If Americans were in the same position as the Japanese, and I said 'American Whalers' - would you care as much as you do now'.

She wouldn't.

So, people of the kennel jury - was my comedic wit and excellent timing a piece of brilliance, or a cheap racist jab?

No, it was brilliance. And this girl is an uptight ***** (lol i hope this girl wasnt Izy, sorry if i called her a ***** )

 

[Mitch Connor]

Varg how old are you?

He has a gf, Mitch. Besides, Rami is more your type. By type, I mean slutty.

Haha no it wasn't Izzi, don't worry

Varg how old are you?

I'm 22, but the girl was only 18, she was a friend of my mate's younger sister or some weird connection like that. It was the first time I'd met her too, which made the whole situation even more awkward.

Was she hot?

 

[Vargster]

Was she hot?

Not overly, no. Sorry to burst your fantasy bubble Moe.

 

[Mitch Connor]

She sounds like a preppy b*tch tbh. I hate people like that.

 

[Mitch Connor]

Oh and btw.. if she had said she wanted to be a whale in my group of friends we would have called her fat. Immaturity lol.

 

[purpleskittles]

I would also have said japanese whalers.

 

[Sherwin_7]

You were right to say Japanese Whalers mate. I mean after all they are japs and they are whaling so I dont see why she got upset.. Young people these days mate.. I just dont understand them..

On a slighlty related topic, at the easter show the other year my gf and I went to one of the stalls that was selling shirts. There were some awesome shirts, pretty funny but pretty rude.

I got a couple of hilarious shirts, and my gf also got a shirt with a picture of a cute whale on it, above reading "Save the whales". Below the whale however, in smaller text read "Eat the Japanese".

Same thing. Most people found it hilarious, however younger aussie females seem to disapprove of it (Not that my GF wears it out a lot, obviously some people, especially Japanese people, may take it the wrong way.)

I would have said "your excessive political correctness and lame attempts at righteousness have no place at this poker table you stuck up preppy tart. Now gtfo"

But thats just me.

Hahaha.. Nice.. People just need to learn to relax.. Most of the time people are just taking the piss and everyone gets offended.

 

[Captain Kickass]

That's what we call "Playing the Race Card" ...

Someone Google me one ...

turkey slap that ho, my nice guy

 

[BaYry Ward]

Just after 9/11 I wore a shirt that was basically the statue of liberty holding up the decapitated head of Osama Bin Laden with the words "and Justice for all" underneath. Do you think she would have had issues with that one lol?

Had to be one of the worst stories I've ever read.

 

[Mitch Connor]

A bit worrying when those are the topics discussed around drinks and poker tbh

Slippery - i liked you better when you handed out sympathy 'LOLs' to my fail threads.

This is what happens when your friends little sisters buddies decide to join in. It was either talking about this or explaining for the 11th time why blinds are necessary.
