I find this mildly funny, but not offensive at all.  We all lend ourselves to
stereotypes.  It has been my experience that stereotypes are based in reality.
I would take offense if this was malicious or hateful, or if it propogated
some untruth about a social or ethnic group that cast them in a bad light.

It may very well be that Jews, Scots and Quakers are not "generally" thrifty
or hard bargainers, but it was once enough true in some time or place that
that became a way for other social or ethnic groups to identify them and to
characterize them as different than themselves.

Its a rough world out there, and forming tribal-like groups is one way of 
dealing with it, and that is not something that will (or perhaps even should)
go away anytime soon.  Yes, I know it is carried to extremes in places like 
Serbia and Alabama, but a joke like this is not anywhere near far enough down
the continuum in that direction to warrant my censure.  I find the 
scolding responses more offensive.

Three sergeants, one <ethnic> and two <relatively regular guys> 
visit a house of ill repute.

The madam says, "We don't allow <ethnics> in here!"

<Regular1> says, "Look, lady, we're SERGEANTS; we're very 
important people, and we can make big trouble for you if we don't 
get what we want!"

The madam was intimidated, and supplied three girls for the 
evening.

Later, the three sergeants experienced serious difficulties in 
the genital area, and went to the base hospital.  The doc 
examined them, and announced, "You men have gonorrhea."

"What's that?"

"It's a disease of the privates."

Well, in the online 7th edition of Webster's dictionary, I only got

evidence that a third does not exist - at least according to Webster.

  a really OLD cartoon along the same line... I do not recall if it
  was a far-side or not, may have been too long ago.

  Two buddies are standing at the edge of a pond at night.
  They have "frog gigs" and flashlights, the first one is
  shining a light down and about to stick a frog and says:
  "see Duane, all you do is shine the light in there eyes and
   they just freeze-up".  Meanwhile, Duane is standing next
   to him and mesmerized while he looks up into a beam of
   light shining down from above.

A pastime in which we are not alone.  My high school French teacher used to
regale us with jokes about foreigners who would commit linguistic outrages in
that language, none of which were at all amusing if translated without an
explanation.  In fact, the only nationality from whom I have never heard
such tales (from among the admittedly few that I have discussed it with) are
the Germans.  But then, from experiences with trying to tell various jokes
to my nearest German relatives (not near at all, really), that's not too
surprising.  Their general reaction to unintentional malaprops seems to 
be an extended interrupt while attempting to process the string against the 
entire environment and store searching for a match.  It's only funny once.

On the other hand, one of the most incorrigible punsters I know is an
ex-Bavarian.  My sample may just be too small.

BTW, The recent list of tranliterational abuses seen here is mirrored by a
similar collection I once saw about the same subject in Spanish, with
numerous examples attributed to Texas.  One of my Mexican friends is still
laughing over some of those, though I understood none of them.  I'm not 
sure what the origin of the list was, I was given a copy to pass along
but didn't keep one.

	I got this from the columnist Bill Mandel of the San Francisco
Examiner. This is his collection of favorite headlines of 1992.

The 1982 National Father's Day Association's Father of the Year went
to jail for failing to pay child support.

Joseph Hazelwood, captain of the ill-fated oil tanker Exxon Valdez, was 
hired by New York Maritime College to teach students how to stand watch
on a tanker's bridge.

New York City authorities wired more than 200 bushes in a public park
with burglar alarms.

A young couple trading oral sex on a British train continued their frolic
when a family entered the compartment and sat down. Then the amorous pair
performed "full sexual intercourse" in front of passengers who boarded
latter. It wasn't until the lovers lit up post-coital cigarettes that
witnesses admonished them and rang for the conductor.

Scientists found that watching television sitting up burns 15 percent
fewer calories than simply lying in bed.

[this is one of my favorites]
A color-bar test pattern on a Los Angeles television drew higher ratings
than two competing stations' 10 p.m. newscasts.



	There's plenty more. I'll add them in as time permits.

I'm looking for humorous list of computer languages.
 
This particular list consisted of comparisions of real computer languages. The
theme was comparing each language to shooting yourself in the foot. For instance
Ada was described as "having a soldier shoot you in the foot", another was described
as "shooting yourself in the foot with a musket".
 
Any help in tracking down this list would be appreciated.
