Anyone know any coffee jokes?

[Bam Bam]

Other than "Thanks a latte!"

[Jeremy Conley]

Just something I picked up somewhere. It's so tongue-in-cheek that I've never considered it carrying enough weight to be considered offensive enough to warrant cries of racism. Stereotypical, yes. But it's just too surreal and slapstick.

Hypersensitivity is no better than the racist attitudes of my father's father. They are different ends of a wasteful spectrum. Equality should, hopefully, entail being able to laugh at one another without malignant intent.

Whoah, guy. That's totally racist and offensive.

Jeremy Conley said:

An Indian walks into a cafe with a shotgun in one hand pulling a male buffalo with the other. He says to the waiter, "Me want coffee."

The waiter says, "Sure chief, coming right up." He gets the Indian a tall mug of coffee. The Indian drinks the coffee down in one gulp, turns and blasts the buffalo with the shotgun, causing parts of animal to splatter every where, then just walks out.

The next morning the Indian returns. He has his shotgun in one hand and is pulling another male buffalo in the other. He walks up to the counter and says to the waiter, "Me want coffee."

The waiter says, "Whoa, Tonto! We're still cleaning up your mess from yesterday. What was all that about, anyway?"

The Indian smiles and proudly says, "Me training for management position: Come in, drink coffee, shoot the bull, leave mess for others to clean up, disappear for rest of day.

Aside from playing Devil's Advocate, because I like conversation, it was likely in poor taste.

Come on, guys. Someone calling an Indian "Tonto" and "Chief" can safely be classified as offensive.

Would you post a joke where someone calls a black guy "boy" and then be surprised when your tongue-in-cheek tone doesn't translate for everyone?

[Chris Tellez]

I'm not saying it's not insensitive, I'm just saying that calling someone a racist is funnier than his actual joke. That's all.

I can see where you're coming from —I'm patently objective. But to throw out the racist card so quickly isn't fair. Those aren't my views, and they're not phrased in a serious, potent demeanor; they're in the context of a joke that juxtaposes antiquated culture and antiquated values against modern culture and modern values. The real snipe isn't even at Native Americans; it's at generic managers. Having grown up in Arizona, it's likely that I picked it up from a Native American.

I didn't find it offense, JMHO

If you change the label of "Indian" to "Cowboy", it's just as funny (to me) and might offend fewer people.

Another version: A newly graduated MBA, wearing a power suit and power tie, walks into a cafe..."

We can also change the gender, i.e. "A well dressed business woman walks into a cafe..."

Don't get me started on the "I like my coffee like I like my _______" jokes... I'll never quit. :_) Just keep it clean and non-offensive and you can have fun all day with this one!
