I'm at a party- John Carter comes waltzing by and says, Hey, 'Ebbie', do you know how to keep a n**** from drowning? I say, I wouldn't say it that way, but No. He says, Good.

Later I waltz by him and I say, Hey, John, Do you know how to keep a Carter from drowning? He says, No. I say, Good. He says, Ebbie, that's sick.

Where does anyone get the notion that non-Jews can 'share' "Non-irritating Jewish Jokes"? Irritating is not the word- 'galling' is. It has nothing to do with the need to lighten up- I thought we were past this kind of crap.
