Another Stranded-on-a-Desert-Island Joke: An Equal-Opportunity Offender

"Two Men & A Woman!"
Tiggy's Rib-Ticklers! (undated)

Two disclaimers:

• I haven't checked, but this joke is so familiar, I suspect that it was lifted from elsewhere
• I think it's funny, and relatively harmless, but this gag
  • Is not politically correct
  • Describes situations which are not consistent with some systems of belief
    • Including my own

So, why am I doing a micro-review on this offensive joke?

Because it's funny!

I suppose it could be taken as a trenchant satire on aspects of multiculturalism in a global context: but why bother?

Enjoy.

Here's how the joke starts:

"On a group of beautiful deserted islands in the middle of nowhere, the following people are stranded:

• two Italian men and one Italian woman
• two French men and one French woman
• two German men and one German woman
• two Greek men and one Greek woman
• two English men and one English woman
• two Bulgarian men and one Bulgarian woman
• two Japanese men and one Japanese woman
• two Chinese men and one Chinese woman
• two American men and one American woman
• two Irish men and one Irish woman"

Let the stereotyping begin!
