Two Arabs boarded a flight out of London. One took a window seat and the other sat next to him in the middle seat.

Just before takeoff, an American sat down in the aisle seat. After takeoff, the American kicked his shoes off, wiggled his toes and was settling in when the Arab in the window seat said, “I need to get up and get a coke.”

“Don’t get up,” said the American, “I’m in the aisle seat, I’ll get it for you.”

As soon as he left, one of the Arabs picked up the American’s shoe and spat in it.

When the American returned with the coke, the other Arab said, “That looks good, I’d really like one, too.”

Again, the American obligingly went to fetch it.

While he was gone the other Arab picked up the American’s other shoe and spat in it.

When the American returned, they all sat back and enjoyed the flight.

As the plane was landing, the American slipped his feet into his shoes and knew immediately what had happened.

“Why does it have to be this way?” he asked. “How long must this go on? This fighting between our nations? This hatred? This animosity? This spitting in shoes and pissing in cokes.”

If you ask me this is just another Muslim cartoon controversy!


NY Post editor defends cartoon; knocks Sharpton

The New York Post is defending its cartoon today but Sean Delonas where a police officer shoots a chimp — playing off the rampaging Travis — with one cop saying: “They’ll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill.”

The cartoon quickly sparked a controversy, with Al Sharpton saying that it’s “troubling at best given the historic racist attacks of African-Americans as being synonymous with monkeys.”

Sharpton continued: “One has to question whether the cartoonist is making a less than casual reference to this when in the cartoon they have police saying after shooting a chimpanzee that “Now they will have to find someone else to write the stimulus bill.”

“Being that the stimulus bill has been the first legislative victory of President Barack Obama (the first African-American president) and has become synonymous with him it is not a reach to wonder are they inferring that a monkey wrote the last bill.”
But editor-in-chief Col Allan defended the cartoon, in a statement to Politico.

“The cartoon is a clear parody of a current news event, to wit the shooting of a violent chimpanzee in Connecticut. It broadly mocks Washington’s efforts to revive the economy. Again, Al Sharpton reveals himself as nothing more than a publicity opportunist.”

UPDATE: NAACP President Benjamin Todd Jealous released a statement: “NAACP continues to fight for a country where America’s promise can be realized for all and where racism Is just a tragic memory. We are saddened that the New York Post chose to create a symbol that is so divisive, insensitive and antithetical to that goal. The NY Post must do better.”

Mrs. McGervey was walking down O’Connell Street in Dublin when she met up with Father Flaherty.

The Father said, ‘Top o’ the mornin’ to ye! Aren’t ye Mrs. McGervey and didn’t I marry ye and yer hoosband 2 years ago?’
She replied, ‘Aye, that ye did, Father.’

The Father asked, ‘And be there any wee little ones yet?’

She replied, ‘No, not yet, Father.’

The Father said, ‘Well now, I’m going to Rome next week and I’ll light a candle for ye and yer hoosband.’

She replied, ‘Oh, thank ye, Father.’ They then parted ways.

Some years later they met again. The Father asked, ‘Well now, Mrs. McGervey, how are ye these days?’

She replied, ‘Oh, very well, Father!’ The Father asked, ‘And tell me, have ye any wee ones yet?’

She replied, ‘Oh yes, Father! Three sets of twins and 4 singles, 10 in all!’

The Father said, ‘That’s wonderful! How is yer lovin’ hoosband doing?’

She replied, ‘E’s gone to Rome to blow out yer fookin’ candle.’
