    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 reason we are so pleased to find other people\'s secrets is that it distracts public attention from our own.\"

    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.

    The previous one came to you courtesy of the USAF, this one is from the DNI(USN)

    ARKANSAS HUMOR


    Did you hear about the New 3 Million Dollar Arkansas State
    Lottery?
    The winner gets 3 dollars a year for a million years.
    ******************
    What do a Divorce in Arkansas, and a Tornado have in common?
    Somebody's gonna lose a trailer.
    ******************
    Why do folks from Arkansas go to the movie theater in groups of
    18 or more?
    17 and under not admitted.
    ******************
    What do you get when you have 32 Arkansans in the same room?
    A full set of teeth.
    ******************
    Why did OJ Simpson want to move to Arkansas?
    Everyone has the same DNA.
    ******************
    Did you hear that the governor's mansion in Arkansas burned down?
    Almost took out the whole trailer park.
    ******************
    A new law was recently passed in Arkansas:
    When a couple gets a divorce, they're still brother and sister.
    ******************
    Two Arkansas are walking down the street toward each other and
    one is carrying a sack. When they meet, one says, "Hey, Tommy Ray,
    what'cha got in the bag?"
    "Jus' some chickens."
    "If I guess how many there are, can I have one?"
    "I'll give you both of them."
    "OK. Ummmmm......, five?"
    ******************
    The Arkansan and his gal were embracing passionately in the
    front seat of the car. "Want to go in the back seat?"she asked.
    "No," he replied.
    A few minutes later she asked, "Now do you want to get in the
    back seat?" "No," he said again, "I wanna stay here in the front
    seat with you."

    Hey, you guys sent it to me huh?

    Simon, I am working on some French jokes, but I will have to sort of half translate them ?

    French humour is very dry (drole)?
