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!"

i dont know where this one came from but here it is:
"dont be racist be a panda there black white and asian"
some people say its being racist but its saying DON'T be racist i dont get it

[jd_here]

I found the original joke mildly amusing.

I'm Liverpool born of Irish immigrant parentage. I left Merseyside in 1964 and still get called a Scouse b*****d. Does it bother me? not in the slightest.

Remember love thy neighbour if you cant have a laugh and a joke.

Sorry, haven't seen it yet- I was just trying to get that spammer off the latest posts list

[Zhukov]

And Ive never heard of an Irish sausage??..the "joke"simply falls apart..

[daisya]

Certainly are Irish sausages as there are Irish yoghurts...but I don't think Halfords sell 'em!

[douglas9401]

If not sausages then at least parts for bangers sandyRoe.

Just because a banger goes off in the woods and you don't hear it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. :)
