Bad Joke

[BeTheReds]

I heard this joke recently that I thought was hillarious.

What's the difference between Koreans who grew up in Seoul and Koreans who grew up in K-Town, LA?

a) The Koreans who grew up in Seoul speak better English.

The sad thing is that in some cases this is actually true.

OK, this made me laugh. :)

Maybe you don't get it because you don't have many Korean (from Korea) friends.

It criticizes 2 things.

1. The irony surrounding the Korean American community's resistance to assimilation by not making any effort to learn English and living in an ethnic haven (K-town) while shunning american pop culture and liking only Korean things, (except clothes and cars). Meanwhile, the people in Korea, ravenously study English due to the requirements for university exams, love American things (clothes, cars.. yes cars.. a ford taurus is something big over there) know the names and birthdays of all the Backstreet boys and Nsync. (Tho this is becoming increasingly not true due to the rampant anti-Ameircanism right now, but it was true about 2 or 3 years ago...)

2. The total failure of the Los Angeles school system to teach proper grammatically correct english to anyone, meanwhile foreigners from Korea know strange SAT words and almost perfect grammar.

Again these are both generalizations and I am not trying to offend anyone, but it's funny in my opinion.

Well neither have I. I think you have to think about it in context tho. The person who told the joke only came in contact with Korean exchange students. And they would naturally have studied the hell out of English.

So.. you're not in Korea anymore? Where are you?

true, Koreans in Korea can barely speak it or have a heavy accent, but some can write papers in english much better than a native speaker.

not funny to me

Well try this:

A guy realizes after a big shit that the only toilet paper he's got is stuck to his shoe. He does have the sports page, though.

Anyway, he comes out of the bathroom, and someone says, "hey you got toilet paper stuck to your shoe!"

He says, "that's nothing, I got Barry Bonds stuck to my ass." :nerd:

An unemployed piano player is walking down the street and sees a sign in a bar window saying "Piano player wanted - apply inside"

He goes inside and says to the first employee he says "Are you the manager of this crappy bar?" ....."Umm excuse me?"...."You heard me you snivelling piece of shit - or don't you understand English?"......"Ok I'll go and get the manager for you"

The manager comes out and asks "How may I help you sir?"....."I think maybe it's me that can help you you sorry excuse for a human being"...."What?"...."You heard me ya dirty rat....you're looking at your new piano player"

"Sorry sir you just can't barge in here demanding a job like that - we have standards here"

"Just shut up and listen ya cock sucker!"

"Well can you play the blues?" the manager asks. "I can play anything you fuckin' want" and sits down and plays the most heart wrenching blues the manager has ever heard......."What do you call that piece?" asks the manager......"I call it "The springs on the sofa hurt my knob as we fuck like wild pigs""

"Well, can you play jazz?"....."Too fuckin' right!"....and he proceeds to play the most uplifting jazz the manager has heard. "And pray tell what do you call that song?"...."I call it "The moon gleams in your eye as I shoot my wad over your face"".

The manager decides for a few minutes before saying "Well you can have the job but you can't talk to the customers and you certainly can't announce any of your songs - this is a respectable establishment you know"

"All fuckin' right then"

This arrangement had been working well for a few weeks when one night a beautiful woman walks up to stand next to the piano. The paino player is struggling to hold a tune as he notices the ladies g-sting visible beneath her figure hugging cocktail dress. The she leans over and exposes some wonderful cleavage, with the merest hint of a nipple protruding from its low cut fabric.

He gets himself into quite a lather and not knowing what to do runs off to the bathroom for a quick tug in order to steady himself. Mid-wank he hears the managers voice "Where's that godamn piano player?"

He runs back to the piano and the woman says "Do you know your zipper's undone, your cock's hanging out and there's cum dripping all over your shoe?"





"Know it? I fucken' wrote it!"
