Chinese walks into a bar in America late one night and he saw
Steven Spielberg. As he was a great fan of his movies, he rushes over to
him,and asks for his autograph. Instead, Spielberg gives him a slap and
says, "You Chinese people bombed our Pearl Habour, get outta here."The
astonished Chinese man replied, "It was not the Chinese who bombed your Pearl Harbour, it was the Japanese". "Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, you're
all the same," replied Spielberg.
In return, the Chinese gives Spielberg a slap and says, "You sank the
Titanic, my forefathers were on that ship."Shocked, Spielberg
replies, "It was the iceberg that sank the ship, not me." The Chinese replies, "Iceberg, Spielberg, Carlsberg, you're all the same."


This particular joke won an award for the best joke in a
competition
organized in Britain and this joke was sent by an Indian

I think for a joke to work, you have to be able to imagine a universe where it could happen. We can imagine a talking dog walking into a bar but there is no possibility of me imagining Steven Spielberg being anti-Japanese or not knowing that it was the Japanese and not the Chinese that bombed Pearl Harbor. And anyway, it was James Cameron who sunk the Titanic and not Spielberg.
