Actually, this one is *not* really funny, even though it is very un-PC
(the kind of joke I like). The only "funny" thing about it is that, at
this very moment in history, we have a totally reverse situation in the
US: On the one hand, we have a president who is a white guy but who, if
he strays off his script for a second, cannot string a grammatically
correct sentence. And a presidential candidate who, although he's black
(or "striped", if you will), inspires thousands with his beautiful
speeches, even ad-hoc ones.
From: D.C.
A zebra dies and arrives at the Pearly Gates. As he enters, he asks
St. Peter, "I have a question that's haunted me all of my days on earth.
Am I white with black stripes, or am I black with white stripes?"
St. Peter said, "That's a question only God can answer."
So the zebra went off in search of God. When he found Him, the zebra
asked,
"God, please - I must know. Am I white with black stripes, or am I black
with white stripes?"
God simply replied "You are what you are."
The zebra returned to see St. Peter once more, who asked him, "Well,
did God
straighten out your query for you?"
The zebra, looking puzzled, answered, "No sir, God simply said 'You are
what
you are.'"
St. Peter smiled and said to the zebra, "Well then, there you are. You
are
white with black stripes."
The zebra asked St. Peter, "How do you know that for certain?"
"Because," said St. Peter, "If you were black with white stripes, God
would
have said, "You is what you is."
