I think that's my favorite joke to tell, ever. When you deliver the question to white people, they lean in and get that conspiratorial "it's secretly fun to be racist" half-smile on their face. When you hit 'em with the punchline, they feel like assholes.

I didn't think this was that funny since I've never seen 6,000 black shoes in a shoe store, or 6,000 lazy black people in a post office. Maybe that's just me.

I guess you must work for the post office Mephisto.
It does say "racist jokes" Do you even get jokes or do you need to stand up on the chair so when the joke goes over your head, it bounces off the wall and hits you on the way back by?
Ohhh...WTL said you were one of the kids on the short bus...
