Come on Bob, every coin has two faces ... the same are the jokes . You may have some friend that may say : "Hey Bob you son of a gun" in a friendly tone , and I expect you will not be offended . It will not be the same if someone say the same thing angrily to you. I have two daughters that are blondes and do not see prejudices about these jokes , besides I take tolerance as good virtue but not cherished by many in this list .
