[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 896798, member: 13254"] OK, I just got this in an email entitled [I]Blatant Racism[/I]. I post it here because it is subtopic related....and partially because I think it is funny. [FONT=Arial][SIZE=4][COLOR=#0000ff][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial][SIZE=5][B]Blatant Racism[/B][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2] Everyone seems to be in such a hurry to scream 'racism' these days. A customer asked the clerk, "In what aisle could I find the Polish sausage?" The clerk asks, "Are you Polish?" The guy, clearly offended, says, "Yes I am. But let me ask you something. If I had asked for Italian sausage, would you ask me if I was Italian? Or if I had asked for German Bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German? "Or if I asked for a kosher hot dog would you ask me if I was Jewish? Or if I had asked for a Taco, would you ask if I was Mexican? Or if I asked for some Irish whiskey, would you ask if I was Irish?" The clerk says, "No, I probably wouldn't." The guy says, "Well then, because I asked for Polish sausage, why did you ask me if I'm Polish?" The clerk replied, "Because you're in Home Depot." Now please don't say I am demeaning Polish people, I happened to have a good friend that is Polish. I will make sure he sees this, he'll laugh his ass off.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Roman][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
