Just got a phone call form my mate.
He wants me to ick him up from the police station
When i asked why he said that he went for a job today and when he went in for the interview, They told him he hadn't filled in the questionaire
So he went downstairs and beat up the doorman

On a guided tour of HMS Victory a French tourist asked if the cannon balls were real?
“No actually these are replicas " he was told.
He asked why?
“Because you have all the real ones".
True story and sort of the opposite idea to this:“No actually these are replicas " he was told.

“Because you have all the real ones".
In the CN Tower lift, the lift guide has finished his spiel about how fast the lift is, how long it took to build, how far you can see on a clear day, etc. Fairly comprehensive. He concludes by asking “does anyone have any other questions for me?”
After a brief moment, my mate piped up “have you always wanted to work in a lift?”

Erm... The points over here... What does his colour add to the joke?
Yes, I know. 
I was making light of the subject because Vipers retold a joke which he admitted was old, and now people want to analyse its faults. The only way to answer the question 'what does 'coloured chappie' add?" is to explain why it was there in the first place, and that would cause this part of the internet to implode.
I was using humour to reflect the racism back on itself, and to try to derail a potentially unpleasant journey.
I hadn't bargained on poeple already being sufficiently incensed to miss my point.
Which is why anyone in their right mind would take it out before posting the joke. This is not the usual kitten dissection, it's important.
It is funny (and the coloured chappie bit is an important part of the joke) because the implication is that a racist white person pushed him in. The joke is at the expense of the unnamed racist white person, not the black person. The only possible racism is using 'coloured' rather than 'person of colour'.

You see, I thought that was bleedin' obvious, until Usget posted his interpretation. Until then, I'd never have believed that anyone could misunderstand the joke.

When the joke was first aired, there was no such thing as a racist white person, a joke was a joke, I altered one word to comply with current PC correctness (which incidently I agree with), , that's all.It is funny (and the coloured chappie bit is an important part of the joke) because the implication is that a racist white person pushed him in.

Some read too much into a joke, coloured v person of colour as you said, for future reference what should one use?
I shall not comment on this again, let me know the answer, and leave it, move on.

This thread is now dead
It will be if you start doing Monty Python jokes..You all must remember this one from that show.
What's brown and sounds like a bell?
Dung.
I used to watch that show tears with laughter, my OH never saw any humour at all in it.
I stood next to a coloured chappie in the urinals, glanced over and said that i could do with a long plonka like that. How ?
He suggested I go to bed and each night with a contraption comprising cables, pulleys, and stick heavy weights on it and it should get longer.
Saw him a week later and he asked how it was going
I said it seems to be working - it's turning black.
