Secretaries Powell and Rumsfeld are sitting in a bar.

A guy walks in and asks the barman, "Isn't that Powell and Rumsfeld?"

The barkeep says, "Yep, that's them."

So, the guy walks over to the two and says, "Hello, what are you guys doing?"

Rumsfeld says, "We're planning World War III."

The guy replies, "Really? What's going to happen?"

Rumsfeld says, "Well, we're going to kill 10 million Afghans and one bicycle repairman."

And the guy exclaims, "Why are you going to kill a bicycle repairman!?!"

With that, Rumsfeld turns to Powell and says, "See, I told you no one would care about the 10 million Afghans!"

I had a Jewish friend tell me one strikingly similar to this one yesterday.

I had asked him what I could do to help Israel (I'm not a Jew) in this time of crisis. He told me I could sign up with the followers of the late Maher Kahane (sp?)

"To be inducted," he said, "you have to kill three Arabs and a cat."

"Why a cat?"

"You're in," he said.

Hillarious.

Through the magic of search and replace, I made this joke even funnier.

Himmler and Heydrich are sitting in a bar.

A guy walks in and asks the barman, “Isn’t that Himmler and Heydrich?”

The barkeep says, “Yep, that’s them.”

So, the guy walks over to the two and says, “Hello, what are you guys doing?”

Himmler says, “We’re planning The Final Solution.”

The guy replies, “Really? What’s going to happen?”

Himmler says, “Well, we’re going to kill six million Jews and one bicycle repairman.”

And the guy exclaims, “Why are you going to kill a bicycle repairman!?!”

With that, Himmler turns to Heydrich and says, “See, I told you no one would care about six million Jews!”

Enjoy your laugh.

This E-mail is a conversion job from an old "joke" about Hitler plotting WW II. The punchline of course is "See? No one cares about the Jews."

What is your point? The Jews killed in the Holocaust were innocent victims (unless of course you have darker reasons for your search and replace game). The 'Afghans' referred to are supposedly the Taliban and al-Qaeda terrorists we are currently and justifiably at war with.

Your post is really funny, Oleg.

If you are trying to tell us that ethnic jokes are dangerous and end up being offensive, I agree with you and, personally, stay away from them for that reason.

But I do find it funny how you chose to say that. It is abundantly clear that no one is involved in any kind of genocide in Afghanistan or elsewhere in the Middle East. The posted joke has, therefore, the downside of being in poor taste. Your reply is really funny in that it refers not to anything hypothetical but to a real "event." Once you reach majority, Oleg, you should learn to differentiate between reality and la-la land.

Your post is really funny, Oleg. I am still laughing.
