Hmm lets see a good brit joke...

difference between a boeing 747 and a pom?

747 stops whining when it gets to Australia

now feel free to find an Ozzy joke, I haven't really heard any.

[dZeus]

hey I didn't mind the joke either, except for the last line in the post.

point being of my post, I think it's about time people either make up their mind and accept crude jokes at the expense of others (including the one Utwig posted), and maybe make people turn their back towards this boards (not me, but I've seen a lof americans getting angry and so called 'anti-american' jokes in the past), or to accept them even if the jokes are crude and rather hypocrite.

The problem with Brit/English put-down jokes is that we do it far better than anyone else could... self-deprecating humour is our speciality

[Sasq]

you could be right there GNEP, the above was told to me by a Brit ex-pat in Oz

Anti-Bush joke:

Well, there are jokes about Brittish cuisine, we even had a lesson on the subject in Headway (overboiled vegetables), but with Jamie Oliver taking over (although not with traditionally Brittish cuisine), they hardly have any value.

When I was in Croatia and telling locals rude jokes about them and their late (then in power president) I asked them to tell me jokes about us. They came only with one and it wasn't funny (no it really wasn't funny).

Recently they came with some good jokes on us:

- This is slovenian airtraffic control, you are now entering Slovenian air space, please identify yourself....

Aw, too late

- When you open an umbrella in Ljubljana, you poke someone in Maribor in the eye


Or about Slovenian navy whoose rubberboat sank.

A Brit, a US and a Belgian are sitting in the park. The Brit says: "Our subs can stay down for a week in a row". The US guy is not impressed: "He, ours stay below for close to a month". The Belgian states: "That's nothing. Ours never surface".

BTW, on the inital Joke, the punchline, in my book at least, was the least offensive of all....

In Norway we love making fun of the Swedes;

"A Swede made a trip to New York and while standing in front of the Empire State building, he started to count all the floors. A policeman came by and thought to himself: "That one must be Swedish" and decided to take advantage of him. He went up to him and said: "Do you know that it's illegal to count the floors on buildings in the United States?" The Swede replied: "No sir, I did not." The police officer then said: "I'm afraid I'll have to charge you $10.00 per floor you counted." The Swede then said: "Oh, I counted 50 floors sir." The police officer left, very happy. Then, a Swedish comrad came along and asked what had just happened. His friend replied: "My, how these Americans are stupid! I told him that I had counted 50 floors when I had really counted 51!"


Agreeing that the initial joke would have been OK wo the last line...

Or even better;

"Then there's the story about the Swede who was building himself a house. One of his friends came by and asked why the heck he threw away every second nail? "They have the nail-head in the wrong end", the man replied. His friend became furious with him and shouted, "How stupid can you get? Don't you realize that those nails were made to be used on the other side of the house???".

Too funny.

In France I heard this joke on Belgians who take bird seed to airport to feed the planes

[dZeus]

I heard this joke that was about planes in Ireland weren't flown by pilots, but by the autopilot computer, so the pilots could drink themselves into a delirium.

Wait, that was no joke. I now remember I read that in the newspaper...
