Racism

.


Everyone seems to be in such a hurry to scream 'racism' these days.
 

 
A customer asked, "In what aisle could I find the Irish sausage?"   
 
The shop assistant asks, "Are you Irish?"
The guy, clearly offended, says, "Yes I am.  But let me ask you something.
“If I had asked for Italian sausage, would you ask me if I was Italian?
Or if I had asked for German Bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German?
Or if I asked for a kosher hot dog would you ask me if I was Jewish?
Or if I had asked for a Taco, would you ask if I was Mexican?
Or if I asked for Polish sausage, would you ask if I was Polish?"
The clerk says, "No, I probably wouldn't."
The guy says, "Well then, because I asked for Irish sausage, why did you ask me if I'm Irish?"

The assistant replied, "Because you're in Halfords Cycle Shop."

Hold on a minute.... I've always heard that one as a scottish joke!

Actually.... I'm quite fascinated by jokes like this... in Canada, the butt of the jokes would be Polish, in Finland it's swedes, in Sweden it's Norwegians... Oh, in Finland it's Russians as well....

I've heard similar jokes told by musicians.... you know, the one where a guy chooses a sheep.... and the shepherd says "You're a drummer". "Oh? How did you know that?" "just put the sheepdog down, Ringo..."

A Scotsman, Irishman, Welshman, Englishman, Australian and American walk into a bar. The barman says 'is this some kind of joke...?'
