Stereotypes
I was talking to a friend the other day about sterotypes. When I was a kid, all the jokes were "Irish jokes" but other people can remember "Polish jokes" or "Blonde jokes". Well this friend suggested that we need some segment of society which is completely despised and unloved and therefore suitable for joking about.....
The two options we came up with were politicians and lawyers. The problem is that politicians are already jokes and lawyers doesn't always work.....
The example joke was one of the favourites in my house as a kid:
Well there was this Irishman who went to work with one red sock and one green sock on. His boss said to him: "Hey, you have one red sock and one green sock on". The man responded "Yes. And I have another pair like this at home"....
When my grandfather went to India he got off the plane and was greeted by an old friend who told him the latest joke going around:
Well there was this Seik who went to work with one red sock and one green sock....
Try it with a lawyer:
Well there was this Irishman who went to work with one red sock and one green sock on. His boss said to him: "Hey, you have one red sock and one green sock on". The man responded "Yes. I'll see you in court."....
Hmmmm.
