An Air Canada plane leaves Pearson Airport under the control of a Jewish captain; his co-pilot is Chinese.
It’s the first time they’ve flown together and an awkward silence between the two seems to indicate a mutual dislike. Once they reach cruising altitude, the Jewish captain activates the auto-pilot, leans back in his seat, and mutters, ‘I don’t like Chinese.’ ‘No rike Chinese?’ asks the co-pilot, ‘why not?’ ‘You people bombed Pearl Harbor, that’s why!’ ‘No, no’, the co-pilot protests, ‘Chinese not bomb Peahl Hahbah! That Japanese, not Chinese.’ ‘Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese … doesn’t matter, you’re all alike!’ There’s a few minutes of silence. ‘I no rike Jews!’ the co-pilot suddenly announces. ‘Oh yeah, why not?’ asks the captain. ‘Jews sink Titanic!’ says the co-pilot. ‘What? You’re insane! Jews didn’t sink the Titanic!’ exclaims the captain, ‘It was an iceberg!’ Iceberg, Goldberg, Greenberg, Rosenberg, … all the same. |
