Uncle Sam's Wish

Three guys, a Canadian, Osama Bin Laden, and Uncle Sam were walking together one day. They came across a lantern and a genie popped out. “I will give you each one wish, that’s three wishes total."

The Canadian said, “I want the land to be forever fertile in Canada. I'm a farmer, my dad was a farmer, and my son will someday be a farmer."

So with a blink of the genies eye *POOF, the land was forever fertile.

Osama bin Laden says, “I want a wall completely surrounding Afghanistan so that no Infidels, Jews, or Americans can get in."

Again with a blink of the genies eye *POOF, there was a wall around Afghanistan.

Uncle Sam asks, “I’m curious about this wall, please tell me more."

"Well" says the genie, “the wall is about 15,000 feet high and 500 feet thick, it is practically impenetrable."

So Uncle Sam says, “Fill it with water."

I've heard a joke about Quebec like that.

Oh Quebec...

Oops, my bad -- I laughed the first time I heard it so I just failed to post it here.


:roflmao: How's that?



I kinda like the one about two guys sitting together on a plane -- one is from Texas and one is from Kentucky. The guy from Kentucky says, "I'm so tired of you Texans always bragging about how your state is so big and everything you have is so big. Why, we have so much gold brick in Fort Knox that I could build a wall -- 30 miles wide and 40 miles high -- around your entire state. What do you think about that?" The Texan looks at him and says, "Buddy, you just go right ahead and build that gold wall and if I like it, I'll buy it."

Who said anything about drowning anyone or about genocide? For all we know, some of them might swim. Osama, on the other hand....

You're attempting to make this political. Please don't. It was just a joke.

It was a wicked joke that has nothing to do with politics. It has nothing to do with democrats, republicans, reformed, libertarian, green, or communist. It has everything to do with hatred of apparently 29 million people.

There's no ground to justify the joke, it bares a strong resemblence to other racist deportation/extermination jokes.

Sorry for not finding the humor in the drowning of millions.

Again, I read nothing about hating, drowning, or killing millions of people in that joke.

It was a joke against Osama bin Laden. In this day and age, those are pretty common and not something about which I'd find a reason to warn someone against posting. On the other hand, racist jokes would not be tolerated.

Besides, Uncle Sam is a symbol, not a real person (although many out there probably have an "Uncle Sam.").

And would a Canadian really go out on a walk with the fictional Uncle Sam and the most-wanted Osama bin Laden without turning in the latter for a $25 million dollar reward?

'Twas nothing but a joke.
