Gangs of Chicago

A guy was sitting in an airplane when another guy took the seat beside him. The new guy was a wreck, pale, hands shaking, biting his nails and moaning in fear.

"Hey, pal, what's the matter?" said the first guy.

"I've been transferred to Chicago," he answered nervously. "They've got race riots, drugs, the highest crime rate in the country..."

"Hold on," said the first. "I've been in Chicago all my life, and it's not as bad as the media says. Find a nice home, go to work, mind your own business, enroll your kids in a good school and it's as safe as anywhere in the world."

The second guy stopped shaking for a moment and said, "Oh, thank God. I was worried to death! But if you live there and say it's ok, I'll take your word for it. By the way, what do you do for a living?"

"Me?" said the first, "I'm a tail gunner on a bread truck."

What's next, you going to make a joke thread about the CIA flooding inner city neighborhoods with crack during the 80s? Perhaps the Tuskegee Experiment?

Kids killing Kids is not funny.

I'm one of the less "PC" people you will ever meet but I find it odd that you find humor within the current situation in Chicago. I'm not defending those who perpetuate this cycle but it's not a joking matter IMO.

ETA:

In your defense, I have a warped sense of humor and often get told that my jokes are twisted. Now that I re-read my post it looks like I over-reacted but my sentiment still stands.

Take care.
