Pearoast from back in the good 'ol days
i was once invited to some drinks with some of the senior folk from work. They decided to bring along some potential new clients too. All the drinks were paid for etc.

Anyway, one of the clients starts telling dirty jokes, everyone is laughing at them so he ups the anti - with each joke dirtier than the last.

There we were standing in a circle in our suits, about 8 of us. We were now up to the level of paraplegics being spaffed in the face, when i decide to tell a joke.

Every one hushed- even saying stuff like - "hey DAN has got a joke, shhh, lets hear it, it can't be dirtier than the last, no way"

so I begin.

MAn in a bar says to another man, "I can have any girl in here if I want"
"really ?" says the second man "hows that?"

"because im a rapist"

At that point there was noises of "oooohhh" and "ooooof" at that point everyone decided that they either needed the toilet, needed to make an urgent phone call, or get another pint.

I stood there as the circle dispanded with the look of WTF strewn across my face.

Wasnt invited on any more drinks nights.

Not sure I understand how a joke about rape is worse than a joke about sexually assaulting paraplegics

Well that explains it then.
Although it doesn't explain why they invited a notorious sex offender on a drinks night in the first place.

I suppose
Because one was said by the important client, and the other wasn't

It doesn't say anything about sexually assulting paraplegics,
just one getting spaffed in the face. I assume it's because rape is rape and spaffing in a paraplegics face is just something that might happen while having consensual sex with a paraplegic.

I think that unfortunately you misunderstood the rules of the game
you thought the rule was, 'tell a joke in the worst possible taste'
whereas the rule was actually, 'allow the important client to 'win' at telling jokes.' that's why you weren't invited again
