Joke 2

NEW YORK ... Year 2032.

A man is walking down the streets of Manhattan with
his kid.

All of a sudden they stop in front of a park, and the
man comments to his son...

"Just think, not too long ago the Twin Towers used to
be here...."

The son asks him with an intrigued look in his face...

"Dad, what were the Twin Towers?".

"They were two very tall buildings with lots of
offices, but 31 years ago a bunch of terrorists from
the Middle East crashed a plane into each one and they
collapsed."

The son thinks for a minute then says....


"Dad, what was the Middle East?"

How did you score?
0 points: Your compassion kicks in before your sense of humour takes over.
1 - 2 points: You may well be a bigot applying different logic to similar impetus based on racial or ethnic groupings.
3 points: You may have either a broad based or sick sense of humour. As a further test have you ever been ostracised or had a kicking for insulting someone without considering their feelings first? If so you are probably sick.
