I remember a Don Rickles line from 30 years ago.
It went something like this (him talking):
“I was in Japan last month, and I can tell you the Japanese people are so polite. Everywhere I went they said, ‘ah-so’, ‘ah-so’.”
He’s always been abrasive, but at least he knows it. I wouldn’t hold anything against him at his age.
So THAT’s how us grade-school kids showed up one day with a *new* joke about Asians? Wow... I never knew how/why that became something we all joked about - it was truly VERY scandalous as we were at a parochial school, not only was it in “poor taste”, but included a psuedo-swear word! I’m just glad the nuns never heard us talking like that! :)
