Post Your "Insensitive and Uninformed" French Jokes Here!
Every nation and it's people are allowed to create and tell jokes about Americans, where we Americans are expected to find these jokes humorous and laugh uproariously at them. As a matter of fact most of these American oriented jokes are funny. I think it says something good about the United States that we can laugh along with people that find humor in our mistakes, shortcomings, and failures (perceived or real).
Anyways I get tired of other nationalities crying foul when we return the favor and tell jokes about their countries/people. So I decided to, rub some stupidity in the face of these complainers, and make a thread where you can post all of your "uninformed and insensitive" jokes. And let's try to keep them clean please. It's not limited to the French though, I just used that title as eye candy. Even American Jokes are allowed.
As always "you foreigners" or "foreign sympathisers" can use this thread to complain about how unjust this thread is. But know before hand that I will not rise to answer your accusations, because I find these types of complaints trivial at best and not worth my time and effort to formulate a reply.
To kick things off, here are a few French jokes told by Colorado's Govenor Bill Owens.
Have fun!
The governor of Colorado is catching hell from French diplomats for what they call "unfortunate and ill-informed" jokes about the French at a Republican Party convention, reports the Denver Post.
In a keynote speech, Gov. Bill Owens cracked a few jokes that didn’t sit well with the frogs.
"You know why they planted those big trees along the boulevard in Paris?” he asked. “So the invading armies could march in the shade."
And, he continued, "You know why the new French navy has glass-bottom boats? So it can see the old French navy."
Nathalie Loiseau of the French Embassy in Washington criticized Owens for what she said was "uselessly practicing French bashing for the purpose of playing politics."
The mentally handicaped are persecuted in this great country, and I say rightfully so! These people are NUTS!!!!

I kind of disagree with this thread. I have nothing against humor but this site should stick to computer related humor. Making fun of a nationally like French is always dangerous. Being French Canadian myself, I’m a bit annoyed by this thread.
