    Jews sank the Titanic

    A plane leaves Los Angeles airport under the control of a Jewish captain.
    His co-pilot is Chinese. It's the first time they've flown together, and an awkward silence between the two seems to indicate a mutual dislike.

    Once they reach cruising altitude, the Jewish captain activates the auto-pilot, leans back in his seat, and mutters, 'I don't like Chinese.'

    'No rike Chinese?' asks the co-pilot, '....why not?'

    'You people bombed Pearl Harbor, that's why!'

    'No, no,' the co-pilot protests, 'Chinese not bomb Peahl Hahbah! That Japanese, not Chinese.'

    'Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese... doesn't matter, you're all alike!'

    There's a few minutes of silence.

    'I no rike Jews either!' the co-pilot suddenly announces.

    'Oh yeah, why not?' asks the captain.

    'Jews sink Titanic.'

    What? That's insane! Jews didn't sink the Titanic!' exclaims the captain, 'It was an iceberg!'

    'Iceberg, Goldberg, Greenberg, Rosenberg ...no mattah... all same.'

    I believe so, it was a bit like Enoch Powells famous " Rivets of Blood " speech.

    Maltese, I don't think I blamed sectarianism but it is fact that well over 90% of the work force were Protestants. Now you
    can say what you want, and believe what you want but the shipyards of Belfast and the Clyde were the birth place of the
    Linfield and Rangers supporters. Some people may say employing over 90% of one religion was political.

    The titanic over here has been talked about on every news and current affairs programme for nearly all this year but another
    boat with over 1400 lives lost 2 weeks later on the same route and never mentioned.

    I knew it was awful as I typed ... but I'd gone too far to turn back!

    Another thought in respect of the Titanic though - as the chief designer apparently had a lisp, I wonder did the Almighty misunderstand him when he decided to teach him a lesson ... or is that, unthinkable?
