I counsel caution. One person's joke is another person's insult. And I will tell you why I say that:

I once sat in the ticket office of the San Antonio, Texas, USA, train station while awaiting the incoming westbound Amtrak Sunset Limited from New Orleans to Los Angeles (I was in the ticket office because I worked for the railroad at the time, so I was one of "us," not one of "them").

The ticket agent was of Mexican descent. Also in there with me were the conductor and brakemen of the crew that was supposed to take over the train when it arrived in San Antonio. The train crew spent the waiting time telling jokes about Mexicans, not one of which I would repeat in polite company.

The ticket agent's resentment and hurt were clear to anyone who cared to observe, though he knew better than to speak up.

It was one of the most uncomfortable hours I have ever passed.

This was almost four decades ago and the memory of that discomfort is as if it were yesterday.

Yeah, I can understand your point and fair enough and valid. I was obversely not meaning to cause anyone offense, so if the mod's what to closed this thread, I can understand where you're coming from. It was only intended and meant as humor.
