Is there a Canonical list of Ethiopian jokes around? Y'know, stuff like:

Q: What do you see when you look up an Ethipian's asshole?
A: Cobwebs.

Q: What are Ethipian bunkbeds?
A: Venetian blinds.

Q: What is the Ethipian national bird?
A: They don't have one; they ate it.

If there is one, can someone please post it or e-mail it to me? And if
anyone can think of any more, do likewise. Thanks a lot!

And it takes a Jew to tell a good jewish joke.
objoke: Saul was walking down the street when he ran into Morty. The two
got to talking and Saul asked "So Morty, how's your son?".
"Oy", says Morty, "my son... You know he went to the holy land? Well now he's
converted and become a Christian. Becky and I are so upset!"
Saul: "Funny you should mention that. My son also went to Jerusalem, to the
holy land, and he too converted and became a Christian."
As he said this their rabbi happened by and got in on the conversation.
Rabbi: "Funny you should mention that. My son also went to the holy land and
converted to Christianity."
So the three men decided that they should go the Jerusalem to see if they
could find and answer. Once they got to Israel they went to Mt. Sinai and
they climbed to the top. There they prayed and asked, "Oh God, why is it
that our sons have all come here to the holy land only to convert and become
Christians." For a long time there was silence. Then a loud, disembodied
voice boomed out, "Funny you should mention that..."

I make a point of not criticizing the English of those whose first

the trouble to learn German or French or Italian or whatever the
native language of mzis...@sgcl1.unisg.ch is, and then stick out

I have you to thank, though, Lucius, for teaching me more English.

I had thought that "sick 'em" was a mis-spelling. I looked it up,
and lo and behold, it's ok. "sic 'em", though, is preferred.

Well, I'm so sorry I managed to offend your sense of PC with my
innocuous request. I would have thought though, that a newsgroup whose
introoductry line warns "...may be offensive" would have been due caution
to any PC Nazis out there. If you don't like it, there's always a kill
file. I for one hardly use it because I believe in freedom of speech, and
I don't get offended at asian/oriental jokes either. In fact, if they're
funny, I laugh at them.

And yes, I *do* know how to spell Ethiopian. I *do* know there's an 'o' in
it. Hardly my fault, I think, that my keyboard needed its 'o' key fixed.

And on a lighter note:

What's the big deal about ethnic jokes?? They're all the same few jokes just
with a different nationality inserted at the correct place. I agree with John's
comment about "sticks & stones". Come on, they're only jokes. If people can't
laugh at themselves they obviously have no sense of humour!

Remember, there is no politically correct humor. The "Thought Police" are

Considering that the place is mostly Sahara desert, I'm surprised Ethiopia
survived for as long as it has. And that so few people have decided to
move elsewhere (if the government'll let 'em, I don't know).


What's this? (Hold up one hand in an "OK" sign, made with the index finger
and thumb forming a ring.) -- An Ethiopian choke hold!

which reminds me of what a cousin of mine who was so thin he had no shadow

Cheers
