YAYYYYY........Thread drift to not PC ethnic jokes!!!!! Here's my favorite.

The (insert ethnicity here)'s and the (insert other ethnicity here)'s were tired of being the butt of all the jokes. They decided to have a football (american style) game where the winner would no longer be the target of the jokes.

They held the game in a dingy factory town. With about 5 minutes left a factory whistle went off. Ethnicity 1 thought the game was over and walked off the field. Four plays later Ethnicity 2 scored.
