Only Joking

A Welshman walks into a bar in New York and says, "Guys, do you want to listen to the latest Irish joke?"

The bartender says, "Before you tell the joke, maybe I should tell you that I'm an Irish American, my friend over there is Irish American, that couple over there are Irish American, that cop sitting there is Irish American, and that fella over there is my cousin from Dublin. Do you still want to tell the joke?"

"No, rather than explain it ten times, I think I'll just forget about it!" replies the man.

A slightly rewritten joke that I found here. It seems that - as Brits joke about the Irish, Yanks about Polacks, and the Irish tell stories about Kerrymen being dim - Indians tell Brahmin jokes.
