Her: "Honey, I can't find the Chinese restaurant in the phone book."

Him: "Have you looked in the Yellow Pages?"

I'm sorry, I should have put in the disclaimer first. :o(
Also, anyone who knows me knows that I don't mean it.

It was the "amused" mood as well...

I shall have to get to know you better.

It was a spur of the moment thing. I knew it was bad but it came out wrong.

We'll hopefully have opportunity to do that sometime this year if we find a date for that Northern Babe photo shoot. :o)

I'm trying to work out how that's not a racist joke. You'll have to help me out here.

I trust you pimp-smacked whoever told you it?

Yep. It was on a page of similarly bad jokes.

[groan] It was so bad it took me like five minutes to get it.

*nods* It would have been a lot more appropriate in the 30s.

Well, to hell with political correctness, I found it bloody funny

I don't think it is racist at all, people of Chinese ethnicity have yellow tones in their skin; were it to suggest that Chinese people were bad in any way due to their ethnicity then it would be a racist joke.

It made me smile.

Very funny. Certainly drew a few groans from the shop crowd.

Somebody who just started in our group would be laughing about that for days. I despair. Luckily he is in the same room as the man who chews his nails all the time, so I can avoid them both :D

Tee hee. That's an old one, still makes me groan. I think I may have heard it from an ex-gf, actually. She used to get confused as to the plots of Hollywood movies and claim it was because "you ang-moh all look the same to me". :)
