That reminds of that joke about the Scots being greedy: There was this accident in which a Scottish taxi was involved. The taxi crashed and everybody got killed: 40 dead. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

Hm. Why are Scottish jokes more socially acceptable than jokes about Jewish or black people? Granted, they've never been enslaved or genocided, but they did get annexed and somewhat oppressed, IIRC. -------------------- The Noble and Ancient Order of Polaris - We're Not Yet Dead.

There are more Scots than Jews, and there are probably more people we'd call black than both combined. (I have no idea how prevalent the term "black" is in Africa.) Jews are actually quite fond of self-mocking humor as long as it's delivered by Jews. That sort of dichotomy in what is acceptable when done by whom seems to be a common theme in minority groups. —Alorael, who will leave you with the thought that Scottish jokes are okay because the Scots aren't here complaining. So... where are they, anyway? Driven away by the jokes? Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

... Are you guys really taking this so seriously? If I'd have said that it weren't Scots, but Dutch (since the Dutch also have a reputation of being greedy, far more so than the Scots, to be honest) would it have been okay? -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

Humph, that buddy's wearing the Government Tartan. Of course it's just a cloth pattern, and anyone can wear whatever they want. But wearing that particular tartan is a bit like sticking a Marine Corps badge on your baseball cap. -------------------- Listen carefully because some of your options may have changed.

Heh. Around here, the only thing I hear much is "tu madre," but I'm not sure if that counts as an ethnic joke. So are they any jokes about my ethnicity? I'm mainly German and British with the German a bit more dominant. -------------------- Decca Records - "We don't like their sound. Groups of guitars are on the way out."
