Neither. I just don't find ignorant dickweed type "jokes" funny. Don't you ever wonder why the rest of the world thinks Americans are stupid jerks? Let's see how your sense of "humor" stands up to some equivalent remarks.
"Did you hear about the American who got on a European I-Speak-Your-Weight machine? It screamed!" (Alternative #1: It said "Only one at a time!") (Alternative #2: It said "We don't do livestock")
An English woman went into a butcher's shop and asked for a sheep's head. "Joe!..." yelled the butcher to the guy in the back. "... Lady wants a sheep's head!". "How would you like it, ma'am?" asked the butcher. "Oh, the American cut" said the lady. "Joe! Cut the brains out but leave the tongue in!"
"The FBI has issued a new terrorist warning that al Qadea may be planning a spectacular attack intended to damage our economy. Well I have news for them, they are a little too late. This is where President Bush is smart. Two years ago he did a pre-emptive strike to make sure our economy couldn't be any worse than it is right now."
"I'm not worried about things in the world because yesterday President Bush told reporters that he is monitoring the situation in North Korea, very carefully. In fact today the president spent the whole day watching reruns of M.A.S.H."
""Al Qaeda has issued another threat to the U.S. saying we're not safe on land, at sea, or in the air. Well, Amtrak, Carnival Cruise Lines and United Airlines took care of that."
""One of these al Qaeda guys was actually raised in Brooklyn, New York. Can you believe that? Apparently, it was pretty easy though. The al Qaeda guys went to him and said if you martyr yourself you'll go to paradise where there's plenty of parking."
""Vice President Cheney continues his whirlwind 11-nation middle eastern tour designed to bring America's anti-terror message to the region. That message: Help us fight terror or ...Is that oil?""
""The big rumor going around is, we may begin bombing Iraq. Or, as the White House calls it, Operation Keep Enron Off The Front Page."
