Subject: U.K. Award Winning Joke

An Israeli doctor says: "In Israel, medicine is so advanced that we cut off
A man's testicles, put them on another man and in 6 weeks, he is looking for
Work".

The German doctor says: "that's nothing, in Germany we take part of a brain,
Put it in another man, and in 4 weeks he is looking for work".

The Russian doctor says: "gentlemen, we take half a heart from a man, put it
In another's chest and in 2 weeks he is looking for work".

The United States doctor laughs: "You all are behind us. Five years ago, we
Took a man with no brains, no heart and no balls and made him President.
Now, the whole country is looking for work!"

Not from the UK dennis. If the Brits were to make up a joke like that they certainly wouldn't use a US president as the butt of the joke!!

Doddy, I hate to tell you this but I have received similar jokes, although not this joke, from a good friend who lives in England. He and I both miss Maggie Thatcher.

I guess I am missing your point here. Does the age of a joke necessarily mean it has lost it's humor. I don't think so especially in this case.

She was one of the most loved/hated Prime Minister's in our history. If guns were as assessable over here as over in the States I think there might have been an assassination attempt against her!!

Not to mention that people around the world respect Obama's intelligence. Only racist conservatives rant about him being unintelligent because they can't stand the fact that a black man far smarter than they are is president.

Here’s what seems to be a British version :) (not sure of the date):

An Israeli doctor says, 'Medicine in my country is so advanced, we can take a kidney out of one person, put it in another and have him looking for work in 6 weeks'.

A German doctor says, 'That's nothing, we can take a lung from one person, put it in another and have him looking for work in 4 weeks'.

The English doctor says, 'Hah! That's pathetic. We can take an arsehole from Scotland, put him in 10 Downing Street and have half the country looking for work in within 24 hours.’

A “George Bush version” (posted just about 11 years ago):

An Israeli doctor says: “Medicine in my country is so advanced, that we can take a kidney out of one man, put it in another, and have him looking for work in 5 weeks"

A German doctor says: "That's nothing. We can take a lung out of one person, put in in another, and have him looking for work in 4 weeks."

A Russian doctor says: "In my country, medicine is so advanced that we can take half a heart of one person, put it in another, and have them both looking for work in 2 weeks".

The American doctor, not to be outdone, says: "You guys are way behind. We just took a man with no brains out of Texas, put him in the White House and now half the country is looking for work".

I really don't want to get into a pissing match with you or anybody else on the forum but please tell me why I must be a racist just because I am a Conservative and I don't like Obama's policies. I would happily vote for other people of color such as Condoleeza Rice, Ben Carson, Alan West, or Herman Cain. I honestly think any of those people would do a better job than Barack Obama as President of our country.

Now let me be fair and ask you and others. If you would not vote for any of my choices above then would you like being called a racist? If I am to go by your thinking then you would be a racist wouldn't you? Of course you probably would not vote for my choices but I doubt you would think you were a racist. My guess is you don't follow their Conservative thinking and that is a great reason to me. We don't all need to think alike. That is what makes our country strong. We can ALL have our beliefs and share them. But when you and other Liberal thinking people label me and others who agree with my thinking, a racist
aren't you being unfair?

Because I don't agree with Obama's policies does not make me a racist.

Dennis
