President Obama and Gordon Brown are shown a time machine



which can see 100 years into the future.



They both decide to test it by asking a question each.



President Obama goes first:



"What will the USA be like in 100 years time"



The machine whirrs and beeps and goes into action and gives him a printout, he reads it out:



"The country is in good hands under the new president, crime is



non-existent, there is no conflict, the economy is healthy. There are no worries"



Gordon Brown thinks "It's not bad this time machine, I'll have a bit of that" so he asks:



"What will Britain be like in 100 years time?"







The machine whirrs and beeps and goes into action, and he gets a printout.





But he just stares at it.





"Come on Gordon" says Obama, "Tell us what it says"







"I can't! It's all in Arabic!"

I believe this post to be a direct slur on the Arab and Muslim Communities of Great Britain. I have reported your post for your racist over-tones and I have contacted the race relations board to charge you with citing racial hatred towards Arabs.

You serious ?:yh_rotfl

Well, cultural insensitivity aside, I thought it was FREAKIN' HILARIOUS!!:yh_rotfl

Oh... and couldn't that joke be interpreted as Muslims getting the upper hand through hard work and intelligence? Why assume it's negative?:)

Racism is rife In this country and we must take a stand. It is exactly this type of jocular condemnation of what at present is our ethnic minorites, that led Hitler to genocide. Pol Pot, Idi Amin and Mugabe also spring to mind. Their genocide no doubt started with what seemed a harmless aside down the local boozer and look where it led?

Besides which, the joke is also Insulting to that Scottish Twat that is our Prime Minister.

You have evidence of this? chicken or the egg?

Culturaly jokes are a form of societal understanding of things they cannot change personally or societies anguish over circumstances it finds itself in. It's a cultures and an individuals' way of coping with the world..for instance it took minutes for the Azaria Chamblian jokes about babies and dingoes to rear it's ugly head. This was the Australian way of coping as a society to such an atrocity........You'll find different levels of society come out with different levels of humour. Barmans' joke is just one level but has different measures of attack and satirical benefits. it's basically coping witht he overwhelming circumstances of the world as it is presented to us. Jokes will tell you a lot about peoples frustrations Oscar. learn from them.

who is attacked in this joke?



"The other day some friends and I were discussing one of the few recurrent philosohical topics that come up in our conversations: society as a whole. It was taking its usual course; one of my friends insisted that society was going to hell, the other was somewhat neutral, and I thought that people were becoming more tolerating of differences.

My first friend announced (again) that society was on a steady down-hill road. "Everyone today," she said, "Is messed up in the mind, a druggie, or a nymphomaniac."

My other friend laughed and nodded. Never having heard the word before, I puzzled over what 'nymphomaniac' could mean.

Trying not to sound stupid, I swallowed my pride and asked, "What's that?"

"A girl who's obsessed with sex," explained my second friend.

I paused for a moment, thinking. "Then what," I asked, "Is a guy obsessed with sex?"

My first friend had an answer immediately, "Normal!"
