hmm... maybe it's acultural thing... ...talking of which, as a good SouthAfrican, maybe you'll appreciate this one (if you haven't heard it alreday) Jacob Zuma while visiting a Primary School, visits one of the classrooms. The class are in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asks the new ANC leader if he would to lead the discussion on the word 'Tragedy'. So the leader asks the class for an example of a tragedy. Josiah stands up and offers: "If my friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a runaway tractor comes along and knocks him dead, that would be a tragedy". "No "says Zuma, "that would be an 'accident'." Beauty raises her hand: "If a school bus, carrying 50 children, drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy." "I'm afraid not" explains Zuma, "That's what we would call a 'great loss'." The room goes silent. No other children volunteer. Jakob Zuma searches the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?" Finally at the back of the class Sipho raises his hand. In a quiet voice he says: "If a jet, carrying you, your wife and most of the ANC ministers, is struck by a missile and blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy." "Fantastic!" exclaims Zuma, "that's right. Now can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?. "Well" says Sipho, "because it wouldn't be a great loss, and it probably wouldn't be an accident either."
Heard it, but :laugh: :laugh:

This jew prays to God that he wins the lottery. Every Sunday Morning he checks the winning numbers in the Sunday Times. Every Sunday he doesn't win. He goes to pray to God and asks him for a reason. The jew says "God, why have you forsaken me? Why don't I win the lottery" God responds "You need to meet me half way... you need to buy a ticket!"
Heard it before about a Scotsman...did you know that copper wire was invented by two Scotsmen fighting over a penny?

Ive heard this joke a bunch of times before, never once with the person being a jew or a scot. I dont see the relevance of either (assumingly money-pinching). I have however heard the joke as an irishman. This is assuming that the irishman was too stupid to buy a ticket. It just goes to show that you can turn any joke into whatever racist meaning you so choose, as long as it started off with some sort of racist message.

Yes it would as the context is all wrong: there's a difference between racist mockery and expounding a strongly held opinion.

I'd say that's not irony but a miracle. I would expect a plethora of results of a different kind. Google has a tendency to ignore your punctuation and sometimes add it's own. At the least, I'd expect a link for "Did you mean Kimberly's hole?" ;P

Careful, you are making much too good sense for this thread.
