[A Jewish guy walks up to the pearly gates and is greeted by St. Peter.]
Jewish Guy--"Yeah, yeah, I know. I've been discriminated against all my life. I know I’m not getting in, just tell me where to go."
St. Peter- "Oh no, we're not like that here. I tell you what, spell God."
Jewish Guy--"Really...that's it? G...O...D.
St. Peter--"Perfect, you're in. Please follow the golden winged arrows...next."
[So next a Polish Guy walks up.]
Polish guy--"Yeah I know, I've been discriminated against all my life. I know I'm not getting in upstairs. Just tell me where to go."
St. Peter--"Oh no, we're not like that. We welcome all kinds. Can you spell God?"
Polish Guy--"God, sure... G...O...D. That's it?"
St. Peter--"Yes sir, here's your pass. You'll find refreshments in the waiting area. Welcome home."
[So then a black guy walks up.]
Black guy-- "Yeah man, I've been discriminated against all my life. I know the drill. Where's the black dude section?"
St. Peter--"Oh nooo, we're not like that; spell Chrysanthemum."

But the best joke have a grain of truth in them, no?
They didn't let the Cuban in because they asked him to spell "explain" and he said, "e-s-p-l-a-i-n".
I can say this joke because I'm Cuban.
Well, aren't you "e-special!" ;~)
(do people make you say "sheet cake" so that they can laugh, BTW? )
Amy--you are always such a trouble maker. I love it.
Dave and OReilly--thanks for the super hard words. Any one of them would have worked better than the one I chose actually.
Bonnie--I thought about mispelling chrysanthemum, but I thought people would just think..."couldn't she have run the spell checker?"
Lea--of course you're right. Jokes are hard, but I figured at least someone would get a chuckle...maybe not you though :) I understand. Actually I think I told this joke better in writing than I ever have in spoken language.
For everyone who thought it was funny...thanks.
