I was at my bank and had a bunch of Canadian dollars that I needed to exchange, so I went to the currency exchange window.

There was just one person in front of me, an Asian guy who was trying to exchange yen for dollars and it was obvious that he was a little agitated.

He asked the teller, "Why it change? Yestaday I get two hunda dolla fo yen. Today I get hunda eighty. Why it change?"

The teller says, "Fluctuations."

The Asian guy says, "Fluc you white guys too!"

Yeah, and if *I* had posted that everyone would have gotten their bowels in an uproar.

Too bad you didn't post that one... I've been constipated lately. You would have given me great relief...

Take care my friend...

Yeah, well, precisely why I am not doing any more postings. Just have to take ex-lax from now on.

Just for the record, my wife, whom I met in Japan and courted in Japanese (she didn't speak English at the time), thought it hilarious. She's already told it to one of her Japanese friends who's also been here for about 30 years.

I think that nerves were a bit frayed with some of the intensity of the political forum and people were ready to pounce on the least little thing – including a rather innocuous joke. It'll probably happen again some day. Hopefully not soon.

I wouldn't have.

Hell, Studlover, a good joke is a good joke.

We are all friends here, aren't we? 👯

Your friend and mine,

A-1. You are right about that and yours was a good joke.

However, I have given up my freedom of speech to be "politically correct" giving into the whiners, complainers, pissers and moaners (you know damn good and well who you are).

So, have a good life.

And so this means you shouldn't have a life? If you can't laff, why bother... My attitude has always been that it is none of my business what other people think of me; it is my life; do I like it and me? Keeping to essential social standards, Fuck the rest !
