A Jew calls his mother in Florida. "Mom, how are you?"
"Not too good,"says the mother. "I've been very weak." The son says, "Why are you so weak?" She says, "Because I haven't eaten in 38 days." The man says, "That's terrible. Why haven't you eaten in 38 days? The mother answers, "Because I didn't want my mouth filled with food if you called." -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address. |

Spic, spic, spic, spic, spic, spic, CHINK, nigga-nigga-nigga-nigga, WOP, spic, spic... OTOH, I think everything and everyone ought to be called Siobhan. Think about how easy it'd make things..."OK, Siobhan, to get to Siobhan's, you go past Siobhan's and Siobhan's, and turn at Siobhan's. Go 2 blocks on Siobhan Street and take a left onto Siobhan. Go 3 blocks, and take a right onto Siobhan. Go past Siobhan's and Siobhan's, and there you a Siobhan's. Don't forget to set the parking brake, though...she lives on Siobhan Hill..." And it'll end all strife - "Did you just call me a 'Siobhan' you sorry Siobhan!?" "Hell, no, I called you 'Siobhan', Siobhan..." "Oh, sorry, Siobhan...nevermind, then..." And the big plus is that if people would start saying "yada da da da da" at random times, life would occasionally sound sorta like a "Crew Cuts" song... HTH, R |

While I have no dog--not a reference to any human, real or imagined-- in
this fight, I can't imagine referrin' to a Native American's/Indian's (?) *partner* as his/her "squaw," as the word isn't really part of my everyday usage. However, the fact that an idividual refers to his spouse/partner/wife as a "squaw" affects me in no way. If his spouse/partner/wife/"squaw" doesn't take issue with being called a "squaw," why should I be offended, as long as he doesn't call my spouse/partner/wife/"squaw," father's wife/spouse/partner/"squaw," brother-in-law's wife/spouse/partner/"squaw" a "squaw?" Which, by the way, I'm not certain that *I* would be offended, in any case? Op |
