Yesterday, my boss heard a joke which I remembered from years back... and when I looked it up, I realized that when it came out on PackyHumor it was the first time I'd taken an ethnic joke and made it into... an Idiot Joke!
Nancy Quick strikes again. Since I don't want to offend anyone, I've edited the joke so the original group being poked fun at has been replaced by the term "Idiot", which I figured to be a safe, non-specific term. Anybody who takes offense on behalf of Idiots...
The salesman replies, "Certainly, sir, would you like two male and two female, or all male or all female?
The idiot shoots back, "I don't care. I just want 4 budgies!"
The salesman, without losing his cool, continues: "Very well, sir, what color would you like them to be? We have yellow, blue, gr..."
The idiot interrupts, yelling, "I don't give a darn what color they are, just put four budgies in a box for me. Is that too hard?"
The salesman quickly grabs four birds from the budgie cages and shoves them into a pet carrier. The second idiot pulls out his wallet and pays for the birds, and then both idiots leave.
They drive out to this high cliff and the first idiot reaches in the box and pulls out two of the birds, grasps them firmly and jumps off the cliff while flapping his arms. Of course, he plummets like a rock and hits the bottom of the cliff with a loud SPLAT.
The second idiot looks down at his friend's mangled and spattered remains and says, "Shoot, this budgie jumping isn't all it's cracked up to be!"
