Joke of the week [393 = year 8, #29] "multi-purpose"(or "generic") ethnic joke (1)  (January 25, 2010 - January  31, 2010)

                                                                                                                      German version

A Prussian, a Bavarian and a Swabian [insert any other  tribe, such as Saxonians, Berliners, East Frisians] are sitting together drinking beer. A fly falls into each one's mug. The Prussian pours away his beer with the fly and orders a new beer. The Bavarian picks the fly out of his mug with his fingers and continues drinking. The Swabian picks out the fly and then forces it to spit out the beer it has drunk.

                                                                                                                   English/British version
An Englishman, a Welshman and a Scotsman are sitting together ... ["Adding insult to injury", one could also include an Irishman who gulps down his beer saying something along the lines of "Great, I could do with a spot of meat."]

If anyone feels offended, he or she is welcome to it! (What about coming up with your own multi-purpose ethnic joke?)
