It is about the Syrian presence in Lebanon during the civil war; the Syrian troops had (and have) a reputation in Lebanon for vindictiveness and humorlessness. --------------- A man walks up to a policeman standing on a corner in Beirut. Man: Help me! A Swiss man stole my Syrian watch! Policeman: A Swiss man? A Syrian watch? That doesn't make any sense. You mean to say that a Syrian man stole your Swiss watch. Man: You said it, Mister, not me. -- Edited by Brad Templeton. MAIL your jokes (jokes ONLY) to funny@looking.ON.CA Attribute the joke's source if at all possible. A Daemon will auto-reply.
