Is it ever all right to generalise?
I don't mean 'politically correct', but accurate.
Of course, 'it's never all right to generalise' is a joke, a contradiction in terms.
"In the end, everybody dies." You can't really quibble with that.
But
"All Yorkshiremen are mean" (we usually exclude women) ?
"All Germans get up early"?
"Essex girls are blonde and stupid"?
"All middle-aged Poles are mononoglots"?
"Scientists do not need to use their imagination"?
"No one has ever gone into politics except to make money"?
Forget the abuse issue - is it ever useful to make generalisations like these?
And is it funny?

The problem with generalisation is that you have to first say 'generally speaking' which kinda ruins the whole thing anyway, so it may be acceptable but it is pretty pointless in my opinion. However, generalisations often get a laugh, people say they have 'blonde' moments even, so if they raise a smile there is nothing wrong with using them x
