And was this supposed to be a joke?

My gradfather sent me this email:

How many men does it take to open a beer?
None. It should be opened when she brings it
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Why is a Laundromat a really bad place to pick up a woman?
Because a woman who can't even afford a washing machine will probably never
be able to support you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Why do women have smaller feet than men?
It's one of those "evolutionary things" that allows them to stand closer to
the kitchen sink.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
How do you know when a woman is about to say something smart?
When she starts a sentence with "A man once told me..."
-------------------------------------------------------------------
How do you fix a woman's watch?
You don't. There is a clock on the oven.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Why do men fart more than women?
Because women can't shut up long enough to build up the required pressure.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
If your dog is barking at the back door and your wife is yelling at the
front door, who do you let in first?
The dog, of course. He'll shut up once you let him in.

What's worse than a Male Chauvinist Pig?
A woman who won't do what she's told

Scientists have discovered a food that diminishes a woman's sex drive by
90%.
It's called a Wedding Cake.

Why do men die before their wives?
They want to.

Women will never be equal to men! Until they can walk down the street with a
bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In the beginning, God created the earth and rested. Then God created Man and
rested. Then God created Woman.
Since then, neither God nor Man has rested.

Send this to a few good men who need a laugh and to the select few women who
can handle the truth !



But I didn't find it funny at all, Im pretty upset about it. He is a pig who cheats on his wife (or used to) and has literitly no respect for any woman. He always grabbs me by the waist which I find weird because he is my grandfather and he says sexally things to me which creep me out. My parents think its odd to but because he has money and plans on paying for my schooling they won;t say anything to him.

Am i over reacting?

 

he needs better jokes .....u need a loan for scool that doesnt require groping as interest .....

 

Wow. You are not overreacting. Those jokes are definitely offensive, at least to me they are.

Manko's right. Besides, your parents should realise that paying for college vs. telling your grandfather to quit treating you inappropriately is no battle at all. He's your grandfather, for christ's sake... You shouldn't have to put up with sexual comments and touching like that for college money.

 

He sounds like a pig, but the jokes themselves arent what made me think that at all, just the others tuff.

Cmon, youve NEVER laughed at ajoke about men in your life? Just hav ea sense of humour. > And run the fuck away from your gpa, he sounds, erm, like a bad guy to be around.

 

In response to the second one, if a woman is supposed to be only in the home, how is she supposed to make money to afford a washer and dryer? Genius.

I hate those kind of jokes.

 

Wow your grandfather would make a great companion to my grandma, who used to send me very similar jokes. Oh, and she used to send my aunt (her daughter, who is on the heavy side) fat jokes. She also has a form of dementia though so anything that comes out of her mouth anyway has an unspoken disclaimer.

 

Wow, your grandpa is a dick, and you should have no respect for him. But, if he's gonna pay for your schooling.... I'd put up with it, because tution is expensive. Either that, or find an alternate way....

 

They're just jokes. Seems kind of weird to get worked up over to me.

How do you turn your dishwasher into a snowblower?
Give your wife a shovel.

 

no, you're not over reacting. i can usually laugh at jokes poking fun at both sexes, but those went too far.
As for your grandpa, as expensive as school is, I'd really talk to your parents about what he's doing and put a stop to it.

 

yes, the jokes are in bad taste.. but guess what? they are just jokes.

"why do women wear black to bed? to mourn the dead fuck laying beside them"

and if you are uncomfortable with your grandpa touching you, tell him to keep his hands to himself. You don't have to put up with it just because he is related to you.

As for the money.. bah.. get a loan for university, or maybe if you told him to stuff it he might like you more. I know lots of "sick old men" who actually respect a woman if she stands up to him.

 

I thought those were terrible, except that one. haha.

 

Get over it. Its just a joke. Plenty of women make similar jokes about men, but you don't see us bitching about it in the mens issues forum.

Your grandfather does sound a bit creapy though.

 

Ahahaha. I think they're funny.
If you don't want your grandpa touching you, tell him to leave you alone, or just don't go around him.

 

I actually have to agree with you there. We might actually be able to learn something from that one

 

Most of those jokes would work equally well as 'men' jokes, and would probably get a much better reception as such in today's socio-political climate.

I will confess I did like the one about the wedding cake...

 

I find those really funny and think you're overreacting a bit but eh different strokes for different folks.

 

If those jokes were from another person then yes, they could be kind of funny (not the best use of humour i've ever seen but still not offensive). BUT because they are from someone who is making you feel uncomfortable they kind of loose their humour.

I think jokes like those are only really funny if the person using them is being ironic

 

they're just jokes. big deal. people joke about everything nowadays... you should be used to it by now.

 

I thought they were kinda funny. I wasn't offended.

 

Its one thiing to tell a joke making fun of a person's sex once in awhile but all the time tells me he has a problem. Him grabbing you around the waist is also inapropiate.
