A Pakistani Ambassador to the UN just finished giving a speech, and walks out into the lobby where he met President Bush.
They shake hands and walk together in the long verandah when suddenly the Pakistani said, "You know, I have just one question about what I have seen in America."

President Bush says "Well your Excellency, anything I can do to help you, I will do."

The Pakistani whispers, "My son watches this show 'Star Trek' and in it there are Russians, and Blacks, Chinese, Japanese and Indians but never any Pakistani, Afghani or Arabs.
So my son is very upset. He doesn't understand nor do I about why there aren't any Arabs, Pakistanis, and Afghanis in the Star Trek show."

President Bush laughs and leans toward the Pakistani, and whispers in his ear,
"Because... the show is all about the future"

to neatly link this gag to dance, there's actually a guy telling a version of it on the first track Robert Hood's Nightime World Part II album.

Except of instead of Star Trek, it mentions Logan's Run. And black people, rather than Pakistanis etc. Sounds like it's taken from a Richard Pryor standup.

Not sure if this helps... I guess the context of the gag is an inseparable part of its meaning, maybe.

I was heading off to the bottom left hand corner, about 1/2, 3/4 of the way, and i didn't really get on a big 'strongly disagree' that much except for 1 or 2 of the obvious red rags.

I think that we will all be about the same angle, though i would be interested in the DEVIANTS - particularly the ones who don't say

heh. Id have to agree with clay on that...and...the whole quiz was clearly left-leaning in the way it was worded and shit

I was just kidding about my score btw. I scored libertarian left as well, but I already knew that
