A Jew, a Hindu, and an Irishman were traveling together, and as night fell they came to a little country inn. The innkeeper explained apologetically that only two beds were available in the inn but that he would be glad to make up a comfortable cot for the third man in the barn. So the three travelers drew straws, and it fell upon the Jew to sleep in the barn.

In a few minutes there was a knock on the door, to which the innkeeper responded. “I'm so sorry,” explained the Jew, “but there is a pig in the barn, and my religion forbids me to sleep under the same roof as a pig.”

The Hindu had taken the next straw, and out he went. In a few minutes, though, there was another knock, and the innkeeper opened the door on the Indian fellow. Apologizing gracefully, he explained that his religious persuasion forbade him to share shelter with a cow, and there was indeed such a creature in the barn.

Finally, out went the Irishman. In a few minutes there was yet another knock on the door, which the innkeeper answered. On the sill stood the pig and the cow.

An Italian, a Pole, and a black man moved out to California to seek their fortunes. The Italian and the black got jobs right away, but weeks went by without the Pole finding employment. Finally, one evening he announced to his roommates that he had a big interview the next morning at nine and, setting the alarm well ahead of time, he went to bed.

In the middle of the night the other two snuck into his room, smeared his face and hands with black shoe polish, and set the alarm forward. When it went off in the morning, the Pole leaped from his bed, pulled on his clothes, and dashed off so as not to be late for the critical interview.

The interviewer invited him in with an apologetic expression on his face. Tm sorry to have brought you here for nothing,” he said, “but I'm afraid we simply don't employ blacks.”

“Blacks! What are you talking about?” sputtered the Pole. “My name is Joe Bukarski!”

“I'm so sorry, Mr. Bukarski, but we simply don't make any exceptions in our hiring policy.”

“But I'm not black!”

“I'm sorry you're taking it so hard. You may not think you're black, but have you looked in a mirror lately?”

The Pole got up and went over to a mirror near the door. Staring in disbelief at his undeniably black reflection, he stammered, “Oh my God— they woke the wrong guy!”

The Italian and the Polish parachutists were arguing about who was best at folding a parachute. Unable to resolve their dispute on the ground, they decided to go up in the plane and judge by the mid-air performance of their chutes. The Pole jumped first, pulled the cord, and started floating toward the earth. The Italian jumped, pulled the cord—and nothing happened. He pulled the safety cord—nothing. In a matter of seconds he whizzed past the Pole, plummeting like a stone.

“Oh,” shouted the Pole, yanking off his harness, “so ya wanna race!”

A Jew and a Chinaman were in a bar together. The Jew brought up the subject of Pearl Harbor, reprimanding the Chinaman for the disgraceful role his countrymen had played. He protested vehemently, pointing out that the raid had been made by the Japanese, and that China was in no way to blame.

“Japanese, Chinese, they're all the same to me,” retorted the Jew.

Pretty soon the Chinese fellow started talking about the tragic sinking of the Titanic, asking the guy if he didn't feel some degree of personal responsibility about it.

“Hey, wait a minute!'' protested the guy. “The jews didn't have anything to do with the sinking of the Titanic—it was sunk by an iceberg!''

“Iceberg, Goldberg,'' said the Chinaman, “they're all the same to me.”

A widower was devoted to his only daughter and naturally was concerned when she decided not only to get married but to marry a Greek. Blushing furiously, he sat her down to discuss the facts of life, but she brushed him off, assuring him she knew all about those things and not to worry.

“Well, just one thing,” the father implored. “If he asks you to turn over, you don't have to.”

The young couple got married and were extremely happy until about six months had gone by. Embracing his wife in bed, the Greek said, “Why don't you roll over, dearest?”

“Oh, no, you don't!” she said. “My father said if I don't want to, I don't have to.”

“Whatsamatter,” he said, “don't you wanna get pregnant?”

An Italian, a Jew, and a Greek were walking down the sidewalk when—ZAP—a bolt of lightning came down and killed all three instantly. Up they went to the gates of heaven, where St. Peter greeted them warmly.

“Saint Peter, you can't do this to us,” they protested vehemently. “We're young men in the prime of life. Please let us go on living.”

St. Peter pondered the issue. “Well,” he finally pronounced, I’ll let you go back to Earth on one condition: that from this moment on, you all promise to abstain from your one most favorite activity.”

The young men lost no time in giving their fervent promises, and—WHAM—found themselves back walking down the sidewalk. What should they come across on the corner but a pizza parlor. The Italian broke into a sweat. Unable to resist temptation, he dashed in, ordered a slice, took a bite, and—POOF!—vanished in a puff of smoke. The Jew and Greek were understandably sobered by this event and continued walking, when a quarter rolled across the sidewalk.

His eyes lighting up, the Jew bent over to pick it up.

And the Greek disappeared.

Motioning to his flask, the Irishman says, “It's going to be a thirsty business, this crossing the desert, and I’ll need a drop to drink.”

Nodding his approval, the Italian points out his potful of pasta. “Itsa gonna be hungry work,” he says.

They look across at the Pole, who is carrying nothing but a turquoise-and-white left front door to a '57 Chevy. “It's going to be plenty hot out there,” he explains, “and I want to be able to roll down the window.”

A Pole, an Italian and a Jew are marooned on an island. While walking along the beach, one of them comes across an old bottle. He rubs it and out comes a genie, who is empowered to grant them each their dearest wish.

“Ah,” says the Italian, “let me go back to the Old Country, where the wine is sweet and the women are beautiful.” Poof!—he vanishes.

“For me,” says the Jew, “I want to go to the Holy Land and live out the rest of my days with my people.” Poof!—he vanishes.

“Gee,” says the Pole, “it's kind of lonely here. I wish I had my friends back.”

Two Poles and a black worked for a construction company and got into the habit of working together—until the day the black fell off a scaffold eleven stories high. When the police got to the scene, there wasn't too much left of the fellow, so the officer in charge turned to the two distraught Poles. “Listen, guys,” asked the cop, “was there anything distinctive about this man?”

“No, he was just a regular guy,” sniffed one of the Poles.

“Hey, wait a minute!” piped up the other. “He had two assholes!”

“Are you bullshitting me?” asked the cop. “How the hell would you know?”

“Because every time we went into the bar around the corner for a beer at the end of the day,” said the Pole happily, “the bartender would say. ‘Here comes that stupid nigger with the two assholes!’”

A Pole and a Jew were in a bar watching TV when the late-night news came on. The first sensational story was of a berserk woman poised on a window ledge seven stories up.

“I'll bet you a hundred dollars she won't jump,” said the Pole to the Jew.

“You got a deal,” said the Jew, sticking his hand out a few moments later when the woman plunged to a gory death. The Pole sadly forked over the money and ordered another drink, only to look up in astonishment as the other fellow tugged on his sleeve and tried to hand the hundred dollars back.

“It's all yours,” he protested. “You won the bet fair and square.”

“Nah,” said the Jew, “I saw it all happen on the six o'clock news.”

“I saw it happen on the six o'clock news, too,” said the Pole, “and I never thought she'd do it again at eleven.”

A Jew, a Pole, and a black man all died on the same day and went to heaven, where they were warmly greeted by St. Peter. “Good to see you guys,” said St. Peter. “One quick quiz and I’ll be able to formally admit you to heaven.”

“Just a sec,” said the Jew. “Being a Jew, I’ve had it rough all my life, and I'd like to know if I can expect any religious persecution in heaven.”

“Certainly not,” said St. Peter. “Spell God.”

“Well, now,” said the Pole, “being Polish, I've been treated like shit, and I'd like to make sure I'm not going to encounter any more of that sort of stuff.”

“No way,” said St. Peter. “Spell God.”

“Saint Peter,” said the third man, “as you can see, I'm black, and I’ve had to endure a lot of prejudice in my life. Can I expect any more of that in heaven?”

“Of course not,” said St. Peter. “Spell chrysanthemum.”
