I liked all the jokes posted. I like ethnic jokes when they are not mean. Many ethnic jokes come from the people targeted. It's healthy to be able to laugh at one's self. I heard exactly the same joke as Bhagat's but it was about an Irish (catholic), man who was the most popular.
Here's an oldie: Three friends go up in the Himalayas to meditate. After one year, one of them says, "it looks like it's going to rain", then after another year the second one says "I think you are right", then a year later the last one says "Be quiet!".

Here is a Canadian one: There are 50 completely drunken Canadian men in a swimming pool and you must get them out. What do you do?... You clap your hands and say "Ok everybody, let's get out of the swimming pool please".
One last that only Canadians may get (I see there are lots here). The definition of a Quebecer: a Newfy that never made it to Ontario. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=30071
I like riddles too.

Who says Sikhs are stupid people? The only thing that I heard about Sikhs is positive. They are known to be "a joyful lot, ecxellent business people" and a hindu atheist friend told me that in the past, they actually saved the hindu from assimilation. I personally think it's people like them we need to save humanity from becoming an extinct species and from dehumanisation. I'm not a Sikh and will never convert out of respect for me and them but I surely identify with their "don't mess with me" attitude.

Every time the Hindus are in trouble, *** long as there have been Sikhs, we have rushed in to save them, since they were weak and oppressed and we are the protectors of the weak and oppressed. Even the "non-violent" liberation from the British was made possible only because many Sikhs had fought and died fighting against the British for freedom. Below is a chart showing Sikh losses in the freedom struggle compared to the Hindus. Look at it, bearing in mind that Sikhs are 2% of the Indian population.

After all that, our home, Punjab, was then divided between two warring countries, which continues even now. India has a strange way of saying "Thank you."
I agree. We Sikhs are pretty cool. Bertrand Russell agrees with you, even though he was an atheist. He said,
Quote:
"...if some lucky men survive the onslaught of the third world war of atomic and hydrogen bombs, then the Sikh religion will be the only means of guiding them." Russell was asked that he was talking about the third world war, but isn't this religion capable of guiding mankind before the third world war? In reply, Russell said, "Yes, it has the capability, but the Sikhs have not brought out in the broad daylight, the splendid doctrines of this religion which has come into existence for the benefit of the entire mankind. This is their greatest sin and the Sikhs cannot be freed of it."
And, of course, no one here - at least among the Sikhs - wants to convert you. I will say that it is a joy having you as a friend and a fellow traveler.

Sorry if im being off topic or being a bit racist but here's a joke against Muslims:
'Strike back at Islam, run into your local mosque with 10 pounds of sausages strapped to your chest'

Maybe a bit racist and you should say PORK sausage because there really is kosher (beef or turkey) sausage. Although I'm sure Muslims wouldn't be too happy about kosher meat either.
I just read this one in Sikhchic. It brought a huge smile to my face. Talk about chardi kala!
During the time when terror was unleashed in Punjab and youth were being rounded up and beaten mercilessly by the police, there was one case of a suspected militant leader who, despite being beaten for one week, wouldn't utter a word. At the end of one week, he announced one day he would talk but first they must treat him well. "I want my body to be massaged with oil, and feed me well if you really want me to talk." They did all that and then said "Now, talk!". "OK, I am ready, you can beat me for another week now, no problem!
