Wanted: Translators

This is also hilarious. Although in a more tragic sort of way:

The most senior Labour Party official in Britain was caught up in a bizarre racism row last night after he was accused of insulting people who speak with a Scottish accent.

A formal complaint of racism was made against Labour General Secretary Ray Collins when he asked for a ‘translation’ of comments made by a man from Glasgow.

Union official Mary Fee was so outraged by the incident at last week’s Scottish Labour Party conference that she protested to Labour officials. And after she contacted Mr Collins directly, he made a grovelling apology and said he had not intended to cause offence.

Seriously? The “‘I’m offended”-line is getting a bit worn out now.

The French

I like jokes. Most people do. Especially ones about the french.
