#1 Quit reading tone in to what I'm typing. I added the little funny guy with tongue sticking out so you would know I was joking.
#2 They are funny I will give you that. AND I even posted the one I was sent a long time ago. But when things are presented as truthful or "actual" then it's no longer a joke is it?
#3 Why is it okay to make fun of America but if someone makes a Black /___ /Jewish /Woman joke crap hits the fan?
I think I just came up with a new genre of joke that will offend everyone...
So a Hispanic, Bi-curious, Muslim, Cat walks in to a bar in France...

The bartender says, "No! Get out of here cat!"
The next day the hispanic, bi-curious, muslim, cat walks back into the bar and says, "Got any rollerskates?"
The bartender shakes his fist and replies, "I told you once. We don't sell rollerskates. Don't come back or I'll nail your tail to the floor!"
The next day the hispanic, bi-curious, muslim, cat walks into the bar once more. The bartender glares at him and shouts, "What do you want?"
The cat asks, "Got any nails?" The bartender replies, "No!" The cat replies, "Then, do y'all sell rollerskates?"
