    Not really; I believe there was a rebuttal that I found very funny and well thought out. Can't find it for the life of me, tho.

      And #11 confuses me, why would you put salt in your tea?
      It's a reference to the Boston Tea Party.

      Also, I'd like to remind everyone not to let this joke turn into a gun debate. I balked at approving some of these post, and I'd hate to have to close a joke thread.

        That should explain all. ^^

          That's the only response I have.
          agrees - totally awesome, I showed it to an American colleague, he loved it - thought it was great humour.

            Ah, okay then. I guess that makes sense. (Can someone pass the sugar?)

            Other than the one, I thought it was kinda funny.

              You may have invented potato chips, but it was us Canadians that decided they needed to created in every flavour known to man regardless of sanity. >.>

              Really? . . . Hey, were you the ones who came up with the Dill Pickle potato chip?

              I have often said this, and I still stand by this opinion :

              Flavoring a potato chip like a pickle is just wrong.

              Note: THIS IS A JOKE. Posting this cuz I have posted this JOKE elsewhere and had rantage from people who can't see that this is a JOKE.
              I will say, in all honesty, that in my mind, this joke commits THE ULTIMATE OFFENSE that any joke can commit :

              It's not funny.

              And by that, I mean that it's not funny in the same sense that "If it doesn't scan, it must be free, right?" is not funny.

              You can only hear so many variations of the same "Americans are dumb, ignorant, arrogant, violent, etc." theme before it becomes tiresome . . . Especially when there are over a dozen of them all in the SAME long joke.

              But, to each their own. I'm sure that there are a fair number of jokes that I find amusing that other folks here would be bored by as well.
              “Excuse me. Is this bracelet real jade?”
              “Ma’am, this is a thrift shop. The tag on the bracelet says $1.50. It comes with a matching mood ring. What do you think?”
              “I don’t know.”
              “Yes, it’s real.”

                Second reminder that this is not fratching.

                Do NOT turn this into a debate about American bashing, either.
                Too tired of living and too tired to end it. What a conundrum.

                  If my last post was problematic, I apologize.

                  I would just like to make one thing clear : I did NOT find this joke to be offensive, in any way, shape, or form.

                  The whole reason that I brought up the "If it doesn't scan, it must be free, right?" joke as a comparison was to emphasize that I found the joke too repetitive. That was the only reason I didn't laugh at the joke - not because I had any objection to the subject matter.

                      I think everyone should just lighten up.

                      I've always liked this one- I still get a kick out of it. However, everyone has different tastes. I hear many 'hilarious' jokes (oh, yeah- this one's a knee slapper) that I don't find amusing.

                              You know why they call them Salt and Vinegar flavored potato chips?

                              Because they wouldn't sell any if they called them "unwashed foot" flavored potato chips.
