Thanks Rodney, your dad was a wise and funny guy! I remember the Hittite jokes from grade school. Like, how many Hittites does it take to screw in a wick in an oil lamp? Or, the smallest scroll in the world is the scroll of Hittite survivalists. Or, did you hear who won the Miss Hittite beauty contest …. ? I always wondered where all of those Hittite jokes came from.

My dad used to say jokes shouldn’t offend anyone. So he said for ethnic jokes you should use the Hittites, because God wiped them all out and there weren’t any Hittites left to offend. So he would start a joke. “There were these two Hittites, named Ole and Sven….”

5. They are only jokes. There are offensive things happening every day in real life-go out and protest against them instead.

Hey, in that last line, I’m pretty sure you accidentally hit the ‘w’ key when you meant to hit ‘p’. You might want to fix that typo before anyone gets the wrong impression.

Heh. Or as I used to say when chat rooms were new: “I apologize in advance for offending anyone … that didn’t have it coming.”
