[Rhodes22-list] Joke: Such a Deal!

[Brad Haslett]

Bill,

In the interest of full disclosure, the guy who gave me my first
flying job was Jewish. The guy who first hired me to fly a jet was
Jewish.  The guy who hand-picked me for my first job as an instructor
in my current gig was Jewish.  Honest to God, I can fly an airplane
without Jews!

Maybe I'll move to China just to prove it!  ...  Brad

Jewish and Chinese Pilot

A plane leaves Los Angeles airport under the control of a Jewish captain.

His copilot is Chinese. It's the first time they've flown together,
and an awkward silence between the two seems to indicate a mutual
dislike.

Once they reach cruising altitude, the Jewish captain activates the
auto-pilot, leans back in his seat, and mutters, 'I don't like
Chinese.'

'No rike Chinese?' asks the copilot, '....why not?'

'You people bombed Pearl Harbor, that's why !'

'No, no,' the co-pilot protests, 'Chinese not bomb Peahl Hahbah! That
Japanese, not Chinese.'

'Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese... doesn't matter, you're all alike!'

There's a few minutes of silence.

'I no rike Jews either!' the copilot suddenly announces.

'Oh yeah, why not?' asks the captain.

'Jews sink Titanic.'

'What? That's insane! Jews didn't sink the Titanic!' exclaims the
captain, 'It was an iceberg!'

'Iceberg, Goldberg, Greenberg, Rosenberg ...no mattah... all same.'
