An American and a Japanese were sitting on the plane
on the way to LA when
the American turned to the Japanese and asked, “What
kind of -ese are you” The Japanese
confused, replied, “Sorry but I don’t understand what
you mean.”
The American repeated, “What kind of -ese are you?”
Again, the Japanese was confused over the question.
The American, now irritated, then yell, “What kind of
-ese are you? Are you a Chinese, Japanese,
Vietnamese,etc…”
The Japanese then replied, “Oh, I am a Japanese.”
A while later the Japanese turned to the American and
asked what kind of ‘-key’ was he. The
American, frustrated, yelled, "What do you mean what
kind of ‘-key’ am I
The Japanese said, “Are you a monkey, donkey or a
Yankee?”
Lesson : Never insult anyone.
