A body has washed up on the riverbank.
It is of a male, approximately 5'6" tall, with a straggly beard, brown long hair, tattoos, and an Irish accent.
Cheers.

Someone needs to let the rest of us in on the joke!

The 'Irish accent' IS the joke!

...and Lene is quite right!

I was browsing through Uncle John's Bathroom Reader while the ads were on the TV.

This report was in an Oz newspaper, and make its way into the Reader. I thought that it was very funny.

I shall try to find something funny to redeem myself.

Cheers

It's more the fact that a dead body could still have an accent, but then if it does have speech, this body must be alive and brain dead.


Culturally the Newfies, Canadians, Swiss and Belgians would have been targets for this kind of joke. Where would the Irish be so treated?

We Canadians are used to this, especially as a Quaybayqwah!

In the UK. I've heard jokes in Canada where the term 'Newfie' replacing 'Irishman' was the only difference from jokes at home.

In the US it could be Creoles, Geechees, Hawaiians, Hispanics, Philippinos, Chinese and inner city Blacks among many others who might have a distinct dialect. The fact of the matter is that making fun of someone’s accent is a universal form of black humor; and it is just as disgusting no matter where it is invoked.

In Hawaii, we have a rich cultural diversity and as a result many accents and dialects. We also have a large military presence and have many soldiers and sailors and airmen who are perhaps not used to it. One of the mistakes that many of them make is to assume that because someone speaks with a different accent than they are used to that the speaker is somehow stupid. For most, they only make that mistake once.

My wife and I were at home watching television. I had the remote and was switching back& forth between a fishing channel and the porn channel. She became more and more annoyed and finally said,

"For God's sake! LEAVE IT ON THE PORN CHANNEL!
You already know how to fish!"
