(CATCH TALE)
Historical record from James Callow Folklore Archive.
I WAS HITCH-HIKING HOME ONE DAY AND THIS GUY IN A
SPORTS CAR PICKED ME UP. AFTER ABOUT A HALF HOUR OF
USUAL BULL-SHIT, THIS GUY SLID HIS HAND OVER ONTO MY
KNEE. I GAVE HIM A DIRTY LOOK AND REMOVED HIS HAND.
ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER, HE SLID HIS HAND OVER ONTO
MY KNEE AGAIN, AND I AGAIN REMOVED IT. WHEN HE DID IT
A THIRD TIME, I TOLD HIM TO STOP THE CAR, AS I WAS
GETTING OUT. AS I WAS GETTING OUT, HE PULLED THIS
SPRAY CAN OUT FROM UNDER THE SEAT AND SAID IN HIS
MOST FAGGOT VOICE, "YOU SILLY BITCHES ARE ALL THE
SAME. AFTER THIS YOU'LL BE JUST LIKE ME" AND HE
SPRAYED THIS SHIT ON ME.
AND THIS IS THE SAME SWEATER I HAD ON THAT DAY, AND IT
STILL SMELLS RIGHT HERE (HE POINTS TO A SPOT ON HIS
CHEST). HERE SMELL IT. (AND AS THE GUY DOES, HE
KISSES THE GUY ON THE CHEEK.)

Ethnic Joke: French
Historical record from James Callow Folklore Archive.
There was this couple engaged to be married. He was a Frenchman, while she was American. Her father gives her advice about her fiance: "Daughter, don't marry a frenchman!" But father, I love this man very much, I'm sure he will be fine. Her father repeats his warning: "Don't marry a Frenchman, because in six months, he'll ask you to "Change ends!" Don't worry father, everything will be ok. So, they got married.
What do you know, but six months later, while they are in bed, the Frenchman says "Honey, would you mind changing ends, just for tonight?" The girl gets a little angry and says "I should have listened to my father, he was right about you Frenchmen!" The frenchman replied, "But honey, Don't you want to have any children?"
