Israeli Brings Violence to Paris: a Pet is Murdered, a Girl
Posted: Fri Mar 25, 2005 8:14 amOkay, we were talking about jokes and how they dont' translate well. I know there are some good ones though and I wish to collect them. There are stories about what it's like to be a Kurd or a Jew or an Iraqi during these troubled times, some of them must be funny in all languages. Sometimes when the trouble gets to be too much, laughter is the only medicine. Do you have "stand up comedians"? What do they say? I read of a stand-up comedian who told stories that were very funny about war once, I just can't remember where it was I read it.
Here is a Jewish joke about how we can't win, no matter what we do
A guy in Paris sees a pit bull attacking a toddler. He kills the pit bull and saves the child's life.
Reporters swarmed the fellow. "Tell us! What's your name? All Paris will love you! Tomorrow's headline will be: "Parisian Hero Saves Girl from Vicious Dog!" The guy says, "Well, I'm not from Paris.
Reporters: "That's OK. Then the whole of France will love you and tomorrow's headline will read: "French Hero Saves Girl from Vicious Dog!"
The guy says, "I'm not from France, either."
Reporters: "That's OK also. All Europe will love you. Tomorrow's headlines will shout: "European Hero Saves Girl from Vicious Dog!"
The guy says, "I'm not from Europe, either.
Reporters: "So, where ARE you from?"
The guy says, "I'm from Israel."
The next day's headlines read:
"Israeli Murders a Dog, Leaves a Girl Bleeding!"
"Israeli Brings Violence to Paris: a Pet is Murdered, Girl Wounded"
"Israeli Attack: One Dead, a Wounded Toddler Rescued".
It could apply to Kurds too in other places huh? Like TURKEY! How did a country get named after a stupid bird, or a stupid bird get named after a country anywa? No offense, but...one wonders no?
