I think perhaps you should come and work on the Thomas Cook incident team for a while and answer calls from distraught relatives of missing holiday-makers.
But then again thats my opinion

A ginger person could be more offended by a joke about them, than a joke about people thousands of miles away who he/she has never met and is never likely to meet. Well, they won't be meeting them, cos they're dead.
Anyway, that's beside the point.
And as for Goaty insinuating that people tell this kind of joke, and laugh at it, as an attempt to "bo cool" is just plain bollards.

nice one!
But this wasn't drunken machismo, this was somebody that has zero humour for that event politely asking a chimp to please not continue with his joke.

I've heard that on the street before.
He was warned, and I'll do it again regardless of where and who.

The cop in me would have said you went too far. But me being me would say, well done...and I hope you didn't break a nail.
