So I get into a taxi today...

[voodoopenguin]

...and the driver says "I'm not a racist but I heard a funny joke today."

I advised him that I would prefer not to hear it. What I didn't say is that a little alarm bell goes off whenever I hear that line "I'm not a racist but...".

so he told you the joke anyway, right ? What was it ?

I reply, "do you mind if I fart?"

Local Cleveland TV has a late night 'moving picture show' titled "Big Chuck and Little John". They've been doing it for, oh, 30 years now ? They show a third run movie in front of a (small) studio audience with participation, drag out the old gorilla suite, etc. One of their fondest bits are old sketch comedies titled "That unspecified Ethnic Joke". The guy is prototypical Cleveland 60's- Eastern European, classic "-ak" jokes.

I still laugh.
