funny@looking.UUCP (Funny Guy) (11/27/88)
The following is a collection of jokes taken from the 1988 REC.HUMOR.FUNNY Computer Network Humour Annual. These jokes were all posted to rec.humor.funny in the last year and a half. Included are jokes that might be offensive to WASPS, Gentiles, Soviets and anti-semites. There are also some sexual references Yes, the evil racist anti-semite Brad Templeton posted all these jokes. In fact, they're some of my favourites! (These are just a sample. I've posted jokes for and on just about every group there is.) And yes, Richmond, Makowsky, Schwartz and Gould, you're allowed to read these ones! ================================================= Subject: Another joke from Poland From: keithe@tekgvs.TEK.COM (Keith Ericson at TekLabs (resident factious factotum)) Keywords: laugh The line in front of the Butcher shop in Warsaw is long, indeed, and the people grow weary, ever more weary, of the wait. Eventually an official comes out and announces "We are very low on meat; all Jews must leave the line." So the Jews in the line quit the queue and head for home, empty-handed. After some more of a wait the same official reappears and announces, "We are even lower on meat that we thought. All non-party members must leave the line." So all the non-card-carrying members standing in line begin heading for home, equally empty-handed. After some more time the official appears to declare "All Serbs and Croats must leave the line; we haven't enough meat for you." Disappointed, they leave the line and wander off. Well, you guessed it: a bit later the same official appears and informs the remaining people "Unfortunately we have run out of meat entirely - you may as well {it all} go home," and disappears back into the store. "Isn't that just the way it always is," mutters one old man as he departs. "Those damn Jews get all the breaks!" (Since racism is *never* funny, I hope you didn't laugh at the above.) ======================================== Subject: A Genie joke From: "Henry_Cate_III.PA"@XEROX.COM Organization: Xerox, Sunnyvale, CA Keywords: rec.humor, heard it, funny One day an old jewish pole, living in Warsaw, has his last light bulb burn out. To get a new one he'll have to stand in line for two hours at the store (and they'll probably be out by the time he gets there), so he goes up to his attic and starts rummaging around for an old oil lamp he vaguely remembers seeing. He finds the old brass lamp in the bottom of a trunk that has seen better days. He starts to polish it and (poof!) a genie appears in cloud of smoke. "Hoho, Mortal!" says the genie, stretching and yawning, "For releasing me I will grant you three wishes." The old man thinks for a moment, and says, "I want Genghis Khan resurrected. I want him to re-unite his mongol hordes, march to the Polish border, and then decide he doesn't want the place and march back home." "No sooner said than done!" thunders the genie. "Your second wish?" "Ok. I want Genghis Khan resurrected. I want him to re-unite his mongol hordes, march to the Polish border, and then decide he doesn't want the place and march back home." "Hmmm. Well, all right. Your third wish?" "I want Genghis Khan resurrected. I want him to re-unite his ---" "Okokok. Right. What's this business about Genghis Khan marching to Poland and turning around again?" The old man smiles. "He has to pass through Russia six times." -- Henry Cate III ======================================== Subject: One of my personal favourites From: john@geac.UUCP (John Henshaw) Organization: The little blue rock next to that twinkly star. Keywords: rec.humor, sidesplit, heard it Scenario: A Bishop (B) and a Rabbi (R) are sharing a train compartment. After a short while, the two men of the cloth start relating some of their past life experiences... (General conversation...) B: So tell me, Rabbi, have you ever actually tasted ham? R: Well yes, in fact. Once when I was very young and daring, I tried it. But only the once... (short pause) R: So tell me Bishop, have you ever ... enjoyed the comforts of a young woman? B: Well, ahem, yes... before I took my vows, mind you, when I was not so old and not so wise... [another short pause] R: Zo, it's better than ham, hmm? {ed If somebody hadn't sent this one out, I would have done it myself, eventually. } -- John Henshaw ======================================== Subject: The Best Hotels From: <watmath!ulysses!houdi!jld> Keywords: laugh (This joke is best told and not read. It helps if you can do dialects.) Time: late 1940's Place: New York There were these two elderly Jewish gentlemen visiting the Big Apple when they decided it was getting late and they needed to find a room for the night. As they passed one hotel, one man says to the other, "Why don't we try this one?" The other says, "Are you crazy? It says on the sign that this is a restricted hotel. You know what that means? It means they don't let Jews in!" To which the first man replies, "Restricted, reschmicted. Let's go in and have a little fun. Just let me do all the talking." So the two men enter and approach the desk clerk. Man: (in thick Yiddish accent) We want a room! Clerk: (Flustered. With a "Connecticut clench") I'm sorry, but this is a RESTRICTED hotel. We do NOT allow Jewish people to stay here. Man: What makes you think I'm Jewish? I'm just as Christian as you are! Come on, ask me a Christion question! The clerk decides to amuse him. Clerk: OK. OK. Where was Jesus born? Man: Such a question! Everybody knows that Jesus was born in a stable. Come on, ask me another Christian question! Clerk: (Impatient) Look. I know you are Jewish and you are not staying here! Man: Come on, ask me a question. Ask me, "What for was Jesus born in a stable!" Clerk: (visibly angry) All right! Why was Jesus born in a stable!? Man: Because a schmuck like you wouldn't give his mother a room either! -- Jeff David ======================================== Subject: Russian joke (yet another) From: goldberg@russell.stanford.edu (Jeffrey Goldberg) Organization: Center for the Study of Language and Information, Stanford U. Keywords: chuckle An old woman was sitting in a park in Moscow reading a "Teach Yourself Hebrew" book. A policeman notices her and decides to start to give her a hard time. "What are you reading that for?" he shouts at her. She replies, "I am old, and I will die soon. I want to be prepared; so I am studying the language of heaven." The cop says, "Well, how do know that it's heaven that you are going to?" The old women answers, "Well, honestly I don't, but that's okay. I already speak Russian." -- Jeff Goldberg Internet: goldberg@russell.stanford.edu ======================================== Subject: WASP jokes - offensive to someone out there From: andrea@metavax.UUCP (Ms. Math) Organization: What, me organized?
