Helpful Scotsman.

One afternoon a Scotsman was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass.

Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate.

He asked one man, "Why are you eating grass?" "We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied. "We have to eat grass."

"Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed you," the Scotsman said.

"But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there, under that tree."

"Bring them along," the Scotsman replied.

Turning to the other poor man he stated, "You come with us, also."

The second man, in a pitiful voice, then said, "But sir, I also have a wife and SIX children with me!"

"Bring them all, as well," the Scotsman answered.

They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine was.

Once under way, one of the poor fellows turned to the Scotsman and said, "Sir, you are too kind.. Thank you for taking all of us with you.â?

The Scotsman replied, "Glad to do it.

"You'll really love my place.

"The grass is almost a foot high"

 

Sorry, I thought we had got beyond the racial, stereotypical.jokes.
Try substituting Pakistani, African or anything else for Scots and see what the Race Relations board has to say.
Just not funny.

 

Im a Scot & I found it funny

 

I agree, put in another race from elsewhere in the world and you would be in trouble for sure.
Also the joke wouldn't work.

Just kinda hoped us from the good old UK were able to rise above all this kind thing and not take offence at what is obviously just a joke.
People seem to have lost the ability to laugh at themselves.

I thought it was funny also.

 

I'm with Paul & Pete on this. I may find these jokes funny but it is no way means I think of these nationalities as inferior, lesser etc. Same as blonde jokes doesn't mean we all truly think blondes are stupid.

Hey what about jokes regarding people that are fat, are short or have red hair? I can still laugh and I'm every one of them, sometimes (or quite often, lol) can come into the 'stupid' catagory as well:dh:

I think generally that any person that is racist in any way will find much more horrible ways of showing it, and you can always tell anyway.
