	Joke from a Londener Suffering from ads?

My brother works as a busboy at a local tourist-trap restaurant. They had a tour group from England tonight.

He struck up a conversation with one of them.

Brother: Where ya from?

Tourist: London!

Brother: Oh. Is it nice?

Tourist: Yeah, we have lots of bombs.





I dont know if its too early to be telling such jokes, but when I heard it, i couldnt stop laughing.

I think he was treating your brother like an American. Not sure if I'd be happy about that.

Yes, because Canadians who act like ignorant Americans should not be treated like ignorant Americans.

Well, I would say that asking if 'it was nice' a day or two after a mass bombing qualified him for the ignorant part.

The point being I wouldn't be laughing too much about having been given a hiding.

I think you're being a typical culturally insecure Canadian.

As someone who lived in the UK for 34 years, I'd think it's more than likely that the Londoner was displaying normal British humour.

Maybe we call ourselves Canadians, and they Mexicans? That leaves the folks in the middle calling themselves Americans.

Don't worry. We don't mind, except when some dumb Yank reaches for continental geography to prove that we too are Americans.

What an inane twist you've added to this discussion, NYE.

It always comes down to "Canucks" versus "Yanks" for you, even when one is completely absent from the point.

That isn't a funny joke. And I'm not saying that because it's about the bombings - it simply isn't funny on any level.

Don't worry, we've already moved on to Canadians anyway.

When the mobile networks went a bit crazy, one of my friends had trouble calling her sister who was going down to London for an interview (she's fine, the train stopped in Essex). When the call wouldn't go connect for the third time, she put down the phone and went:

"Knowing her luck, she probably got mugged and the guy jumped on a bus to get away...."

Try saying "United Statesian." It doesn't flow tripplingly off the tongue, does it?

A joke for Canucks...

it goes something like this... When God created the world he made this and that all over the place. For Canadians He gave them one of most gorgeous landscapes, resources, women, and whatever. One of angels asked Him isn't that unfair to everybody else. He said "You should see the neighbors I plan to give them."

Greenlanders are fine people.

And they hunt animals and eat them raw, so watch it.
