Entry from April 28, 2024
“I was sitting at a bar last night and this Asian-looking fellow sits down next to me and takes a sip of beer…”

A politically incorrect bar joke from 2011 has an Asian-looking man enter a bar, sit next to the speaker and take a sip of beer. The speaker asks if the man knows any of the martial arts. The man is offended—is he being asked this martial arts question because he’s Asian? The speaker explains, “No, because you’re drinking my beer.” The speaker wanted to know the information before getting into a fight over the beer.

“No”, I said, “It’s because you’re drinking my beer, you little fucker.”
