LOL Indeed.
 
As hilarious as it now seems, you should have seen how much of a shock we were in when Mötley Crüe went from this:

 
To this:

 
 
Betrayal, man! LOL
 
Me I moved towards this:

 
And stuff like this:

 
But I insisted on being clean and smelling good nonetheless, so I kept up with those 2 showers a day. :P

Rain
LOL Indeed.

To be honest, I can't see that much difference.
 
Meanwhile, here's the guy that people dressed like that used to call a wussie....
 

I feel sad for the donkey

Thanks for the chuckles, everyone. I got the OP's joke because I've watched enough Rowan Atkinson movies to understand the terminology. Luckily, it did not reference "deacons", as I've never understood what those are.

I didn't get it...so "ass" is a slang word for a donkey or what...? Sorry for the language barrier...I know everybody loves to explain a joke!

Donkey and or Jackass. Same thing.
Mule is the funny one....mix of Donkey and Horse.

Wouldn't that be a honkey? Or is that not allowed either????????

 
The really sad thing is that Rob Halford deliberately chose not to come out publicly when he was Judas Priest (i.e. in his first stint with the band) for fear that his sexuality would be harmful to the image of the band, and subsequently to their marketability. He specifically mentioned in interviews that he didn't feel justified in potentially threatening his band mates' livelihoods, hence his decision to reveal his homosexuality during his solo career.
 
As it happens, I think most long-time Priest fans already knew he was gay, and moreover, couldn't care a jot.
 
I think, however, that his fears of the negative ramifications were justified, even in an industry which has a long history of not persecuting or boycotting its members solely on account of their sexuality.
 
What a joy it is nowadays to live in a completely different world, when, aside from those with a particular agenda to follow, the vast majority of folk don't so much as bat an eyelid when it comes to matters of another's sexual orientation. Even more so, that gay guys and gals no longer have to adopt the persona of a parody of their stereotypes to satisfy the expectations of others.
 
Live and let live.

LOL...works for me. I don't know what is allowed or not.
"Two honkeys for uh-oh....."
This is the quicksand thread isn't it?

"I've said it before and I'll say it again - the whole concept of being "offended" is a load of crap. People claim they're "offended" for one reason only - so they can elevate themselves into a position of moral superiority and chastise someone else, which they thoroughly enjoy."
 
 I think we all  have at one time been offended, yourself included.Imagine someone close to you like a family member you really like and then imagine me making  innuendos and jokes about them in a way that seems to be derogatory. You can't tell me you wouldn't be offended and protective. Imagine me giving you the equivalent of spit in your face. If I started to clown about your girl friend or wife how would you feel? I don't think you would walk off laughing and thinking I was just having my fun. At the very least you would probably be having a few words with me and I would deserve it. As I see it, what you have said is no one else is allowed to ever be offended about anything, that is unless I step on your toes. In that case I guess you have a right to be offended.
 
 I agree with Rain here that I see some corruption in the institution that is the Catholic faith, but I also see a lot of good well meaning people in that particular faith who would never hurt a flea. I think for me this all tied into the other discussion and since we hardly or seldom ever make fun of any religion here the timing to the other discussion was unavoidable. The whole idea of the joke and the attempted avoidance of the obvious slam to Catholics everywhere is also unavoidable. I don't care how many shovels you use to try and dig out of it.
 
 To you so called Christians who see nothing wrong with it. What would your limit be here? How about we urinate on your pews would that do it for you? How about we reword your Biblical terms and make it all some kind of obscene joke? 
 
 At this point I'm done with much more comment on the issue. I would compare it to making a joke about obese people while sitting in front of one. Maybe one obese guy would laugh right back but maybe someone else who has been battling the condition for years might be offended.
 
  The very idea that noone should ever be offended is absurd and doesn't work in the real world. The idea that I am told what should or should not offend me is also absurd. Thats sounds more like control to me than someone who is offended supposedly taking some kind of moral high ground, which I'll take the right to think that this is absurd. I'll get offended at whatever I want ;) and you won't tell me what that is. The herd mentality doesn't work on me.
 
 I hope I haven't offended anyone, but I probably did.

For one thing, Catholicism is just a form of Christianity. For another, Christians get slammed for their beliefs on a daily basis, especially these days. If I got bent outta shape every time someone made a joke or remark about Christ, the Bible, etc., I'd be pissed all day, every day. You didn't care for the joke. Got it. Point made. Get over it.
