Three travelers

[Geezer]

Three travelers, an American, a Cuban, and a Russian were on a cruise ship. They talked for a while and became somewhat friends. The Russian broke out a bottle of Vodka, poured everyone a drink and tossed the bottle over the side.

The American asked him why he tossed the almost full bottle of fine Vodka over the side after only three shots were poured.

The Russian replied, I'm from Russia, we have the greatest Vodka in the world and have tons of it, it's everywhere.

With that the Cuban broke out three very fine Cuban cigars. Passed them around, lit them up, took one puff and tossed his over the side of the ship.

Whoa the American said, I understand the Russian is from a very large and prosperous country, but Cuba is poor and starving. Why would you do that?

The Cuban replied, we have the finest cigars in the world, in Cuba they are everywhere, thousands of of them, almost worthless because there are so many, many of them are so old they are rotten.

Not to be outdone, the American grabbed a Lawyer and through him over the side.

LOL
Something similar....translation...
A captain of an air flight speaks on the radio that airplane is going to crash if it won't loose some weight. A Frenchman stands up and opens a fine bottle of french wine. With a toast "Viva la France" he jumps out of the plane. The American stands up and opens a bottle of Whiskey, with a toast "to USA" throws himself out. A Russian drinks two shots of vodka, with a toast "to Africa", throws 2 Africans out

Heh, I did not see it such way ...
The joke tells that Russians drink too much, that's why he didn't jump himself... but I guess It's hard to see it between the lines if you haven't lived in Russia
I apologize if I touched someone's feelings, but I made myself clear about it, it's up to you if you judge it...

The simple answer to sanitizing a joke like that is to change the Africans to Rednecks or better yet, burnouts.

You din't hurt my feelings, but I wouldn't repeat the joke like originally told.

Sorry, but who are Rednecks or burnouts?

What a great command of the language. I wish I was that good in a second language.

A Redneck is like someone that isn't real smart, doesn't care, somewhat dopey but not handicapped retarded.

A burnout is a guy or gal that took so many drugs or sniffed so much glue, they burnt out their brains.

People don't care about them. You can make them the Butt of any joke and few people will be offended because they don't think they are one.

I love Ireland. I visited there often when I was in the service. Bangor was my favorite.


Later...
