thank you bruce....
the comedian you mention is jackie mason,,,and i must admit i objected to
some of his self
deprecating routines for a long time, but in person he is hysterically
funny, so i guess it depends
on where it's coming from.
in ref to norwegian, swedish jokes let me tell you i love all things
scandinavian, tthey are so
humanistic. and of course i love our volvos,
....in my trips to our offices in europe (airport
air freight) i was told quite amusing tales by our danish friends about
swedes,...........in stockholm about
danes, and in all places about norwegians, ....but these are funny remarks
about some humorous traits,
not malicious, or veiled continuances of past injustices.
wow, peace , and understanding.
p.s. just returned from france from a wedding of a cousin's daughter.
had a fantastic time with relatives, and brought together our brood with
our seven european
counterparts.
i wondered afterwards about the forty five or so cousins, aunts, and
uncles and their possible
children who did not survive . and it started with malicious utterings.
bk 63/12 or 13, and fading.

Bernard, in deference to your sensibilities, I shall not post another
joke with a Jewish character in it again.
Of course you know if the whole world followed your rules a sizeable
part of the Jewish population of this country would be out of work.
Broadway, the Catskills, the Poconos, Hollywood. Who was that comedian who
Ed Sullivan didn't like who had such a great one man show on Broadway a few
years ago. All Jewish jokes.
But, unfortunately, that's not why we're all here. You deserve a place
not to be hassled by the likes of me. So I won't. I'd love to pass on some
Swedish & Norwegian jokes but we must be a boring lot because there aren't
any.
BTW, my apologies to Barney Frank. There is at least a Chapter 12
bankruptcy ( family farmers).
