Mideastern Jokes and Cartoons

[woodrowli]

Although many Mideasterners are Muslim the jokes from the region cut through the religious barriers. Mideastern humor can be a bit strange to the Western world.

Some of my favorites.




An Egyptian and an Israeli are walking together in the desert.
Suddenly, one of them finds a bottle full of coke. As the bottle
is opened, a genie flies out and says " each of you has one wish,
choose carefully and i will grant it. The Israeli says " I want
a huge wall around Israel, this wall should prevent anyone from
coming in or going out. The genie replied, your wish has been
granted, go home and see for yourself. When the Genie asked the
Egyptian, he said " can anyone get through that wall?, no, of
course not " " an anyone get out?
of course not, " fine then fill it with water ".

The bell rings and Billy and Sally, along with all the other
kids run through the classroom door. They all sit down in their
seats.

The teacher goes up to Sally and asks, " Sally what did you do
today at recess? And Sally says happily. I played in the sand
box. The teacher then says, If you can go up to the board and
spell SAND, then I will give you a fresh baked cookie. The Sally
goes up to the board and spells SAND and receives a fresh baked
cookie.

The the teacher goes up to Billy and asks, " Billy, what did you
do at recess? Billy replies, I played in the sand box with
Sally. The teacher replies, " OK, well if you can go up to the
board and spell BOX, then I will give you a fresh baked cookie.
Billy goes up to the board and spells BOX, then receives a fresh
baked cookie.

The teacher moves on to Apu ( a small Muslim boy ) and asks, " What
did you do today at recess? Apu brushes the tears aside and
replies in a sad voice, " Billy and Sally threw rocks at me! The
teacher looks at him and says, " Oh, well that sounds like racial
discrimination to me.............

if you can go up to the board and spell racial discrimination,
I'll give you a fresh baked cookie...
