It's a Joke?

I was out having dinner with the Petersons, the Giers and the Mathews last Friday when coincidentally the Fosters and Karen sat down at the adjoining table. After dinner, Joe came over with a joke for us. It involved an Arab and a Jew. Always in the mood for a good story (particularly one with ethnic accents), we were all ears.

Now without the accents this loses something in the translation, but here goes anyway.

The Arab and the Jew were in a plane over the Atlantic, traveling to the United States. Everyone had settled in and was relaxing; the Arab taking off his jacket, the Jew removing his shoes, etc. Muhammad, being in a window seat, asked Benjamin if he would be so kind as to find the flight attendant and get him a drink. Benjamin agreed. While he was gone from his seat, the Arab took one of the Jew’s shoes and proceeded to spit in it. Benjamin returned to his seat with Muhammad’s drink and the flight continued uneventfully.

Upon approaching their destination, the Arab put his jacket back on and the Jew his shoes. With this the Jew says, “When will it ever end?!.... Spitting in the shoes….. Pissing in the drinks!

Odd how we find reality so humorous.
