Do many of you remember your childhood days those innocent days when we did'nt know where baby's came from (at 12 years of age) we told jokes that we most probably did'nt understand but pretended that we did just to be old.We also had our jokes that were told whilst huddled in a bombed out building with a good fire on the go on a winters night and a few baked spuds on the go.We told the same jokes week after week but they still brought the same attention and we listened to the kid telling them and although we had heard them many times before the laughter was still loud.Just a couple of jokes at the time,which we most probably did'nt under stand this one.This girl was expecting a baby (we did'nt know pregnant) this Chinese guy was getting the blame for being the father which he denied.the baby was born and was white so the Chinaman was off the hook.The Chinaman said "Hooley Hooley me no fooley me put whitewash on my tooley".we laughed our heads off at this but I dont think we understood it.Jokes were made about the shortage of food one such joke.The man comes around with his horse and cart selling fruit and veg,this big fat woman comes up and sees the pea's,oh pea's i havent had a pea for years,the man says gee up neddy theres going to be a flood,what laughter that would bring.Oh the innocence would'nt it be great if it was like again.Many more that I can remember from my childhood,happy days!!!

I remember those jokes from nearly 70 years ago. and falling over laughing..
. I remember when I was a young kid, they used to say, If you `do it` standing up the girl doesnt get pregnant.
We didnt quite know what `Do It` was, but had a rough idea of something.
another one was, If you `Do it` once, the baby will be a girl. But if you `Do It ` twice the baby will be a boy.
I must have done` It ` [ what ever` It` is] four times, I have two sons.

You dare not even call someone "choc-ice" without getting arrested for racially insulting a B.M.E. My nephew, 10 yrs, was called "queer" by a classmate, he replied "shut up coon". Guess who ended up with a detention? (no prizes for this one) :cool:

Brian,the innocence was great,kids of seven know all about it now.to be honest with you I still get embarrassed now when something a bit risque comes on the TV when my grand kids are here (17 & 19)and they sit here laughing their heads off,it's just the norm.When I lived at home and going to sea on the TV if a man and woman just got into a clinch my mother would say whats this rubish and off it would go,changing times for the worse I'm afraid.

That is right Jim,
a few months ago my grandson, said during a dinner in a Restaraunt in a loud voice for all to hear, `We are having Porno videos at school, They are showing a man and woman having Sex.`
I nearly fell off the chair. the people on the next table gave us some funny looks.
So the innocence that we had is all gone. sadly. There is time enough to learn. We never had sex lessons at school but at 16 at sea we had some good ones in Valpo, Sydney, Mombasa and Tombo Marys in Apapa side.
That was a lot better than a video at school.

Hi Jim,you are right,we would laugh at jokes we did not understand,the older lads tell,one that sticks in my mind,the Sultan had three daughter's they were getting married all on the same day,he had twenty rooms mansion.on there wedding night he said I will go and stand by each door and listen to the sound that you make on your wedding bed.Then best noise keeps the mansion.At the first there are cry's of passion.The second was crying of don't hurt with that.The Third was silence.At the breakfast table next morning the three daughter's came down with there husbands,he said to the first daughter nice sound,she said she was in cloud nine,second daughter he said to her why cry did he hurt,you she said know but his John Thomas did.He said to the third daughter,there was silence from your room,she said to me don't speak with your mouth full,still don't get it.Ken.

It was a miss print,he said to her don't speak with your mouth full,still don't get it can some body help me.Ken.
