Sheeze. Amazing how a harmless joke now reduces an American audience to “embarrassed silence.”

I wonder if there’s still a country somewhere with a sense of humor?

At least Jews have things they can laugh about.

When people consider the quirks and foibles of my ethnic group, Germans, they don’t laugh. They shudder.

Roger that. I remember one of the funniest TV moments ever on Johnny Carson. Actor Ed Ames (who played the Indian "Mingo" on the Danial Boone TV show) was telling Johnny how he had to learn to throw an ax for his part as an Indian. Johnny wheeled out a lifesize carboard cutout of a man for Ed to demonstrate on. Ed threw the ax and it struck solid right in the groin of the cutout. Johnny casually looked over and ad-libbed "Funny, you don't look jewish." It was hilarious and purely in good fun without malice. Now Johnny would have the JDL camped out on his doorstep with signs and bullhorns.

Agreed. Hopefully she’s never busted anyone else’s chops for similar humor.

I think that a lot of Americans still have a sense of humor but if they’re smart they won’t it in public anymore, PC has caused it to go underground.

She should have mentioned her crooked teeth and her English cousin - it would have been hilarious.

The English are the only ethnic group who can be insulted with impunity - because we are so naturally superior - insults keep us humble.

tee hee;)
