I don’t usually post jokes like this on the blog, though we all need a chuckle now and then. But this one – just received by e-mail – made me think, “Yep, that about sums it up.” And you might ask, “Sums up what, Kyle?” It sums up the depth of understanding of the average American of our place in the world, and his willingness to be circumspect. Most people in our 50 states think Israel is Muslim, all Muslims ride camels, and all Mexicans sit around in the shade of half-ruined adobes, dozing under overlarge sombreros.

Y ahora, aliste o no, aquí está la broma…

A rednect couple, both blonde, had 9 children. They went to the doctor to see about getting the husband “fixed”. The doctor gladly started the required procedure and asked them what finally made them make the decision; why after nine children, they would choose to do this.

The husband replied that they had heard that one out of every ten children being born in the United States was Mexican, and they didn’t want to take a chance on having a Mexican baby because neither of them could speak Spanish.

And here’s more hilarious and troubling proof that Americans are dumb.
