A bit late, but here they are.

Did you hear that one of the concorde pilots asked the other if he was going home after his shift. He said no, he was just going to
crash at the hotel ...

The European Commission have met and declared that Concorde's impeccable safety record will stand. The hotel was in the wrong.

Affluent German tourists choose to fly Concorde. They'd not be seen dead on anything else...

So many German tourists. So few concordes....

The French Killed more Germans on Tuesday than in 2 world wars

How do you fit 100 Germans into a small French hotel?....On Concorde!

I know that the Germans like to get to the sun-loungers first but isn't this just a bit ridiculous?

Overheard at the Hotelissimo, Gronesse: "Waiter! There's a Concorde in my soup."

Air France have just introduced a new express service for their premium travellers which guarantees you can be off your plane and in your hotel in all of two minutes.

Why is Concorde such good value for money? You get the hotel thrown in.

Akif, a bit of sensitivity to the hundreds of people who lost their lives and for their families would not go astray would it?

Perhaps you should have waited a while before posting the jokes, of which only a few are actually funny - the rest are just sick.

What if the plane had your family on board?

Respectfully Yours,

The Godfather.

When people make similar jokes about persons that are alive, they disregard all sensitivity. My question is, who is affected more by such sarcasm, a living person, or a dead person?
My intent was not to get joy out of anybodys death. It was a small list of jabs at the concorde company, not designed to degrade any human being. Take a list of the sardar jokes on this forum and see if u can count high enough. Do sardars have feelings any less than 100 dead germans?

A very fair point, and well put. I supposed every joke must degrade someone or something. I just think that when people die it does help to show some level of sensitivity - just because we have all experienced some sort of heavy bereavement at some point in our lives.

Still the point you make is very good - and I had not considered it from that perspective. Also, I never doubted your intention - I never felt you were being insensitive on purpose, I was merely pointing out the people could see it that way.

Respectfully Yours,

The Godfather.
