If Men Could Menstruate

[TheEarl]

Sheesh. Lots of venom in this thread, even if it has settled down to sex and nipples in the end. I like to think that I'm friends with just about everyone on the AH and I can rarely think of an occasion where it's necessary for friends to start sniping at each other and trading personal insults over such slight provocation. Chill, people.

</pomposity>

I'd like to point out that I never once said that people shouldn't find it funny. I was saying that the attitude shown in the joke appears to be one that assumes superiority on the part of women, rather than equality. It's a fair point that women have had to, and indeed still do, put up with a world that assumes superiority on the part of men 9 times out of 10, but I still cannot abide the idea that striking back is the way forward. Find the joke funny if you want, just as I find the occasional Essex girl joke funny. However, I'd like to hope that no-one here buys into the hectoring aggressive politics behind the joke, just as I don't honestly believe that Essex girls are cheap, easy and stupid.

Damn, I'm striking Essex off my travel itinerary then.


... Is that where Ian Dury's song " Billericay Dickie" comes from?

Never heard the song, but Billericay is a (rather grim) place in Essex.

This is a good example of what i think is funny these days;

(spoken)
good evening i'm from Essex
in case you couldn't tell
my given name is Dickie, I come from Billericay
and I'm doing very well

had a love affair with Nina
in the back of my Cortina
a seasoned up hyena could not have been more obscener
she took me to the cleaners
and other misdemeanours
but I got right up between her
rum and her Ribena

well, you ask Joyce and Vicki
if candy-floss is sticky
I'm not a blinking thicky
I'm Billericay Dickie
and i'm doing very well

I bought a lot of brandy
when I was courting Sandy
took eight to make her randy
and all I had was shandy
another thing with Sandy
what often came in handy
was passing her a 'Mandy'
she didn't half go bandy

so you ask Joyce and Vicki
if I ever took the mickey
I'm not a flipping thicky
I'm Billericay Dickie
and I'm doing very well

I'd rendezvous with Janet
quite near the Isle of Thanet
she looked more like a gannet
she wasn't half a prannet
her mother tried to ban it
her father helped me plan it
and when I captured Janet she bruised her pomegranet

so you ask Joyce and Vicki
if i ever shaped up tricky
I'm not a blooming thicky
I'm Billericay Dickie
and I'm doing very well

you should never hold a candle if you don't know where it's been
the jackpot is in the handle on a normal fruit machine

so you ask Joyce and Vicki
who's their favourite brickie
I'm not a common thicky
I'm Billericay Dickie
and I'm doing very well

I know a lovely old toe-rag obliging and noblesse
kindly, charming shag from Shoeburyness

my given name is Dickie
I come from Billericay
I thought you'd never guess

so you ask Joyce and Vicki
a pair of squeaky chickies
I'm not a flaming thicky I'm Billericay Dickie
and I'm doing very well

oh golly, oh gosh come and lie on the couch
with a nice bit of posh from Burnham-on-Crouch

my given name is Dickie, I come from Billericay
and I ain't a sloutch

so you ask Joyce and Vicki
about Billericay Dickie
I ain't an effin' thicky
you ask Joyce and Vicki
and I'm doing very well

My head hurts from reading that.

 

[hmmnmm]

I possess incomplete knowledge about just about all things, I confess this freely, and it probably needs no open confession.

However I do know one thing: if I could make up band names and sell them at great cost, I am convinced that Masturbating Menstrual Minstrels (or something like it) would really be big.

Or, Ministering Menstruals

the Minstrels are Menstruating!
arrr!
Play with it.
Feel free.

The Menstrual Minstrels really has a nice ring about it. Simple, yet complex.
