Saddam Hussein & The Genie
While trying to escape during the attack on Iraq. Saddam found a
bottle in the desert and picked it up. Suddenly, a female genie rose from the bottle and with a smile said, "Master, may I grant you one wish?" "You ignorant unworthy daughter-of-a-dog" "Don't you know who I am? I don't need any common woman giving me anything!" barked Hussein. The shocked genie said "Please, I must grant you a wish or I will be returned to that bottle forever." Saddam thought a moment, than grumbled about the impertinence of the woman, and said "Very well, I want to awaken with three white woman in my bed in the morning, so just do it and be off with you!" The annoyed genie said, "So be it!" and disappeared. The next morning Saddam woke up in bed with Lorena Bobbitt, Tonya Harding, and Hillary Clinton. His ***** was gone, his knee was broken, and he had no health insurance.

| Uncle Bob, I think you can see from this that the joke was originally racist as well as sexist and political, and probably was told about someone other than Saddam...

| Jkrohn, that all depends. If you substitute "Charles Taylor" for "Saddam Hussein" and "Liberia" for "Iraq" and you still find it funny, perhaps not.

When I first heard the joke, I thought it was funny. I didn't stop
and analyze it. I thought I might share a funny joke. If any one is
offended I'm sorry. I will never submit an other joke again.

| Uncle Bob, don't get me wrong; I love jokes -- even offensive ones. It does matter, though, whether you intend to offend. In this case, the joke is intended to offend Democrats; that's fine.
But if you didn't intend to get in a racial dig as well, then I think it's worth my having pointed out something you might not have noticed... or might have edited out if you had.
Since the joke is just as funny, or unfunny, if you do what Warthog says, this little fossil vestige could well have been excised.

Theo.
Why didn't the skeleton cross the road? He didn't have the guts.
Can you substitue pumpkin and innard in that joke?
Jokes are context sensitive, that is the whole point. I am glad it was sexist, racist and ploitical, I love seeing all you guys get your panties in a bunch over stupid things

| Jkrohn, you seem to be telling me that "white women" was the point of the joke. Actually, with Saddam, "American women" would have been more to the point -- in context.
You're saying that it is a racist joke, and you like it that way? Hmm.
