Chitchat #3 Titanic Too

Bob Chen

This is not a third installment of movie critiques for the box-winner "Titanic" (after S.S., Lau and Warren Li). It is an ethnic joke I heard years ago with new updates. Here it goes:

Two men, one white one oriental sitting at a bar off Waikiki in Honolulu. The white (could be a red-neck, skin-head, or any bigoted WASP) turned towards the oriental and punched him in the face. The latter, after checking for wounds, said to the white: Why did you hit me? The white replied, in a matter of fact fashion, that was for Pearl Harbor. The oriental complained, but I'm Chinese! The white said: Chinks, Japs, or Nips, Gooks; they are all the same to me. The Chinese sat quietly for a while and swung around and pounded the white to the
floor mercilessly. The white got up and asked: Now, what is this beating for? The Chinese replied calmly, that is for the sinking of the Titanic. What do you mean? said the puzzled white. The Chinese said: Anenberg, Ellsberg, Ekberg, Gutenburg, ICEBERG, Kleinberg, Lindburgh, Rosenberg, Speilsberg, and Steinberg; they are all the same to me!!! I'll furnish a list of all the names if any lighter does not believe that they are (were) real people.
