I can make it simple, just for you Jim. Why is it an Irishman who's
drunk? Why is this Irishman always called "Paddy" or some such nonsense?

1 - the subject wasn't drunk.

2 - Why not? Would it have made a difference if it were Sean or Jimmy
or Mobutu?

3 - My ethnic second generation Irish wife drinks Jameson 12 year old
Private Stock - neat. Does that make her a drunk?

4 - Stop being an ass.

Yes, but did you find the joke funny?

Yes I did. As did everyone I told it to, including a couple of folks with
an Irish heritage.

You know what they say about folks who can't take a joke.......;-)

No, what do "they" say?

Bassy,
I have no problem with ethnic humor, nor do most people, including every
ethnic group know to man. Have you ever seen an Irish comedian, a Jewish
comedian or a Black Comedian? They will poke fun at themselves and
everyone else.

I only have a problem with ethnic humor that isn't funny. This joke was
not funny.

Go find yourself a sense of humor Reggie. You obviously don't have one.

Yep. It is pretty amazing that some folks have to dissect an innocent and
funny joke to find fault with it.

Whoops! Guess I was wrong. Bassy, most jokes about drunks on St. Patrick's
Day *will* be about Irish drunks.

Ease up!

1 - the subject wasn't drunk.

But the subject was OBVIOUSLY addicted to alcohol, or else the punch
line would have been moot.

2 - Why not? Would it have made a difference if it were Sean or Jimmy
or Mobutu?

Yes, it would.

3 - My ethnic second generation Irish wife drinks Jameson 12 year old
Private Stock - neat. Does that make her a drunk?

If she's OBVIOUSLY addicted to it, then yes.

4 - Stop being an ass.

Stop being an ass.

If everyone you told that to is that easily amused, they must be some
pretty interesting people! Kids in dayvcare centers are easy to
entertain, also......
