ETHNIC JOKE

Historical record from James Callow Folklore Archive.

THERE WAS AN ITALIAN, AN AMERICAN AND A POLOCK IN THE DESERT. THE
ITALIAN WAS CARRYING A BOTTLE OF WINE, THE AMERICAN A LOAF OF BREAD,
AND THE POLOCK WAS CARRYING A CAR DOOR. WHILE THEY WERE WALKING,
THEY BECAME HUNGRY AND THIRSTY, SO THEY SAT DOWN AND THE ITALIAN
OPENED HIS BOTTLE OF WINE AND SPLIT IT THREE WAYS. THE AMERICAN
TOOK OUT HIS LOAF OF BREAD AND SPLIT IT THREE WAYS. THE ITALIAN AND
THE AMERICAN LOOKED AT THE POLOCK AND ASKED WHY HE WAS CARRYING A
CAR DOOR. THE POLOCK SAID, "IN CASE IT GETS HOT, I CAN ROLL DOWN
THE WINDOW."
