Brazilian Joke(s)
I looked a bit thinking that I could find a different Brazilian joke. Little did I know that a second language would be handy. Apparently the Portuguese have many Brazilian Jokes but sadly none in English that I could find. On the other hand folks in Brazil do tell ethnic jokes about folks from Argentina. (Now who would have thought...) There are a few Brazilian jokes here but I am not from Brazil so I guess the humor is lost on me. Perhaps if we sent bushco down to Brazil, the natives might be inspired to tell stupid American jokes. This link is moderately entertaining and the last joke at the bottom of the page is posted here as an example. That link to the page is at the bottom of this post for those who may be interested in examining more Brazilian jokes.



A Brazilian enters the Police Station and confesses to the Chief.
"I came to turn myself in, I committed a crime, I can not live in peace"

Sir the laws here are very severe and must be obeyed, if you are guilty there will be no getting out of jail time because of your guilty conscious. Exactly which crime do you wish to confess to?

"I ran over a man", replied the Brazilian.

This is bad, you may indeed wind up in jail!

"It was an Argentinian on the road near the border", explained the Brazilian.

Oh well that is different my friend, you can not blame yourself if those Argentinians are crossing the roads all the time without checking to see if someone is coming.

"But he was standing on the side of the road", the Brazilian added.

Well then it was quite likely that he was going to cross that road anyway, if not you then someone else would have hit him.

"But I did not have the decency to inform the man's family of this", the Brazilian explained.

My friend had you informed them, there would have been manifestations, popular repudiations, protests, fights and even more people would likely die! No sir you did the right thing, if anything, I think that you are a pacifist and deserve to have a statue built in your honor.

"But it gets worse...I buried the man by the side of the road", sobbed the Brazilian.

You are indeed a true humanitarian! Anyone else would have left the body by the side of the road to be eaten by the buzzards and hyenas...

"But he kept saying that he was not dead", the Brazilian confessed.

AHA!! Lies of course...What do you expect out of an Argentinian.

2. You need to change your header
I think people are avoiding this thread. And that's a funny joke.

But there is wisdom in your advice so if possible I will amend the header from Brazilian Joke(s) to Brazilian Joke(s)...but NOT "that" one.
Thanks.

On edit...nope I could not edit the header...oh well. I suppose I can't blame folks for not looking.

4. Well, I was pretty sure that at least the first one, considering possible
copycats, would not be THE Brazilian joke, so I felt safe :)

7. Oh nooo very few liked my Brazilian joke
or more likely most chose not to click here because of the "once bitten twice shy" phenomenon.
Well I cast thee back out into the waters my little thread...get thee hence and findest thou a worthy responder!
