I'm with Nightcloak on this one. Yes the 'butt' of the joke was the IRS but I guess if you are the constant victim of racism then to see another racial cliche in a joke (however funny) or anywhere else for that matter would offend greatly.

C'mon Arvon! please take more care in posting your usually very funny posts please.

Constant victim of racism? If that joke constitutes racism, everybody on earth could describe themself as a constant victim of racism.

The Rabbi looks like the hero making the idiot IRS look like a mean-spirited fool. The IRS is the butt of the joke. Wouldn't be suprised if a Jew made it up actually.

Besides, Jews aren't the only males circumcised. I'm circumcised. Subsitute "Rabbi" for "Matron" and put the setting as a hospital instead of a Synagogue, and the joke still stands.

In any case, I could be wrong, but aren't religious institutions exempt from tax? My Dad (an Anglican Priest) paid taxes, but his church didn't.

My New York church fills out tax-exempt forms for purchases as well.

Keep up the funny jokes Arvon, don't let this self righteous masturbation in print get you down. I thought it was funny, and I am unclear on how this could stereotype Jews aside from the fact that they circumsize their kids (just like most of us guys in the U.S.)

Word of advice Nightcloak, get a grip.
