Racism

Subject: RACISM




Everyone seems to be in such a hurry to scream 'racism' these days.

I saw a customer ask, "In what aisle could I find the Irish sausage?"

The clerk asks, "Are you Irish?"
The guy, clearly offended, says, "Yes I am. But let me ask you something.
If I had asked for Italian sausage, would you ask me if I was Italian?
Or if I had asked for German Bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German?
Or if I asked for a kosher hot dog would you ask me if I was Jewish?
Or if I had asked for a Taco, would you ask if I was Mexican?
Or if I asked for Polish sausage, would you ask if I was Polish?"
The clerk says, "No, I probably wouldn't."
The guy says, "Well then, because I asked for Irish sausage, why did you ask me if I'm Irish?"
The clerk replied, "Er....Because you're in Halfords!"

Well I thought it was funny! Lighten up, redhelen...

[sara3]

well that's the thing with racist jokes.. some people will be offended.

[maggiebee]

I thought it was funny too - we all need to lighten up a bit. I get called a Jock, take jibes about Scots being mean etc. etc. Take nothing personally.

[Zhukov]

It was funny how.?..please explain.it made no sense at all to me..

[douglas9401]

Oh no you don't. You'll have me telling you it's about some Irish folks being seen as t'ick and I'll be on the receiving end from redhelen.
You'll not catch me with that one.

[whiskeryron]

OK. Would you think it is funny if I said, A guy walks into a shop & said give me 20 Cigarettes & a Daily Express & the shopkeeper said '' I can't serve you'' & the customer demanded '' Why Not'' & the shopkeeper replied '' Because this is an Ironmongers''.

Same sort of joke.

[DTCwordfan]

Who are you?

[DTCwordfan]

No Ron - the Daily Express will sue you for implying their customers are morons.

[owdhamer]

There is to much written about racism,you seldom hear of any one being prosecuted for ageism ,sexism etc. but its just as painful for the recipient

[sara3]

"same sort of joke" but without the racist element..
