Ethnic jokes
There was once a Scotsman and an
Englishman
who lived next door to each other. The Scotsman owned a hen and
each morning would look in his garden and pick up one of his hen's
eggs for breakfast.
One day he looked outside and saw that the hen
had laid an egg in the
Englishman's garden. He was about to go
next door when he saw the
Englishman pick up the egg. The Scotsman ran
up to the Englishman and told
him that the egg belonged to him
because he owned the hen. The
Englishman disagreed because the egg was
laid on his property.
They argued for a while until finally the
Scotsman said, "In my family
we normally solve disputes by the
following actions: I punch you in the
nose and note how long it takes
you to recover, then you punch me in
the nose and note how long it
takes for me to recover, whomever recovers
quicker wins the
egg."
The Englishman agreed to this and so the Scotsman held the
heaviest
object he could find, took a few steps back, then ran
toward the
Englishman and punched him as hard as he could in the nose.
The Englishman fell
to the ground and was howling in agony and
holding his nose for thirty
minutes.
Eventually the Englishman
stood up and said, "Now it's my turn to
punch you."
The
Scotsman said, "Keep the lousy egg."
