I've noticed a lot of people out there are complaining about Ethiopian jokes
and how they offend people. I don't know any Ethiopians but personally I own
a blue elephant, my relatives all occupy the front row at Willie Nelson 
concerts, I presently have seven dead babies, I have leprosy, my mother's
best friend's niece is Helen Keller's 2nd cousin, I own two ducks who put
out forest fires,my favorite number is 74, and my dog is the one that was
caught by that man and was forced to drop a turd in someone's desk. And yet,
I just wanted to let everyone know that no of the aforementioned things or
people are offended by the jokes on the net. (All right the dead babies wrote
to Dear Abby about it but they now understand ) To be honest, the blue elephant
thinks the elephant jokes are pretty good but next time someone writes a joke
think of the consequences because my blue elephant broke three sets of good 
china trying to hide upside in a bowl of custard! 
    So, you see, no one is offended about all these jokes and my blue elephant
told me that he doesn't think the Ethiopians would be either. After all if
you weren't supposed to be able to laugh at yourself and others in any situation, then God wouldn't have invented public restrooms.
