Some Folks Can't Take a Joke

Hey, did you hear the one about the white male conservative…?

During a recent visit with some of my liberal-Jewish-Hollywood-ex-hippie-dope-smoking-friends (you know, those really nice do-your-own-thing, let’s all get along cool people), one characterized a meeting I had with Republicans as a “Nazi beer hall meeting.”

Everyone had a nice chuckle… until I reminded them that Democrats strung up thousands of black and white Republicans during the 19th and 20th centuries, much like Nazis strung up Jews and gays during the 30s and 40s.

My Jewish friends took offense to this, rolled their eyes and told me I couldn’t take a joke. (sigh)
