Everyone seems to be in such a hurry to scream 'racism' these days. In London, a customer asked, "Do you have "Sarso Da Tel?" The shopkeeper says "Are you a "Punjabi?" The guy (clearly offended) says, "Yes I am. But let me ask you something... If I had asked for Olive Oil, would you ask me if I was Italian? Or if I had asked for Bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German? Or if I asked for a kosher hotdog, would you ask me if I was Jewish? If I had asked for halal meat, would you ask me if I was Muslim? Or if I had asked for a Taco, would you ask if I was Mexican? The shopkeeper says, "No, I probably wouldn't." The guy says, "Well then because I asked for Sarso Da Tel, why did you ask if I am a Punjabi?" The (calm) shopkeeper replied, "Because, this is a wine shop." |
