An Indian arrives in New York City. All excited, he stops the first person he meets. "Good day, Mr. American, thank you to accept me in your nice country, and... "
The person interrupts and says: "I am not American, I'm Mexican."
The Indian continues on his way and meets another passer-by: "Thank you Mr. American for to let my family and me stay here..."
Again, he is interrupted before finishing his sentence: "I no be American, I be Turk!"
The Indian continues on his way and meets another passer-by: "Mr. American, me thank you for hospitality you give..."
"But my friend, don't you see that I am black? I am African, not American."
"But", answers the Indian distressed, "Then, where are the Americans?"
The African looks at his watch and says: "Oh, they all have to work so we can be here. They don't get off 'til five o'clock!" |
