I'm holding out for the lack of ethnic humor-- back when I was in Military Service, and my surname had a Slavic "Ski" attached, the infamous "Pollock" jokes were goin' around. I had just made E-4, and was in the NCO duty hut and some of those were being discussed- a big E-5, named Wadislawski- the strong silent type (built like Dick Butkis of the Bears) was listening,and then he said- "Hey, I got one for you guys- What's black and blue, lays on the deck and don't hardly move?"-- We all gave up- his answer- "The next SOB that tells a Pollock joke when I'm around to hear it"- Dead Bang quiet-- ethnic jokes are like ethnic "cleansing", not funny- Jokes about Doctors, various specie of thermometers and private body parts and functions- belong in movies like Animal House perhaps--or National Lampoon- you chuckle, but then move on--
