Last night I had a bit of a stand up style joke.
I'll see if I can tell it well.
Basically...it goes like this.
"People always seem to stereotype others based on their creative impulses. Something like 'not a hard worker because they have chosen to have a tattoo on their forehead'. Something like that. But I think this is harsh. I mean it may be true, but you only need to look at one man to prove it wasn't. Adolf Hitler. Look at what he achieved and he was a lazy shaver. Imagine if he wasn't so casual with regards to so many things; so haphazard about his own personal facial hair. Think about what he could have done if he put his mind to it and actually tried once in a while..."
So it was something like that. Basically riffing along the lines of Hitler not shaving meaning he was lazy and what could have been...
Over and out.

The Australians
Here is a sketch about stereotypes...
Steve: All right Bruce?
Bruce: Ah, g’day Steve. How’s it going?
Steve: Not great. I just read an article about how people stereotype Australia.
Bruce: Oh i hate that. They have these ideas about us and...hey can I get you a beer?
Steve: Ah cheers man. Fosters?
Bruce: Or 4X.
Steve: Nah, Fosters for me.
Bruce: There ya go.
Steve: Ta.
Bruce: So stereotyping?
Steve: Yeah...oh I’ve just noticed your hat.
Bruce: Ah check out those corks. Quality, eh?
Steve: It’s great! So how’s Sheila?
Bruce: She’s good, yeah...oh hang on that reminds me. Sheila! Could you put some more shrimp on the barbie?
Steve: And the kids?
Bruce: They’re great. Out every day with our kangaroo, Skippy. Solving crimes, that sort of thing.
Steve: Oh that’s cool.
Bruce: So what about you?
Steve: I'm going to watch Crocodile Dundee later.
Bruce: Nice! I love Crocodile Dundee. Great documentary.
Steve: I’ve also got my trip to Uluru tomorrow with the family. Meet the old Aborigines.
Bruce: Yeah! Nice. I love Ayers Rock. And how’s Sheila?
Steve: She’s fantastic. Absolute ripper. She’s swimming with Flipper at the moment and then tomorrow when I’m at Uluru, she’s going to be singing at the Opera House.
Bruce: Oh that’s cool!
Steve: With our old mate Rolf Harris!
Bruce: Awesome!
Steve: Yeah, not before we see the little one play the Dame Edna 7th Annual Beach Volleyball tournament though. Should be cool.
Bruce: Excellent. So anyway have you been watching the cricket? Or the rugby?
Steve: No, Sheila’s been addicted to bloody Neighbours and Home & Away the past few days. Plus the koala’s keeping us up. It’s just not getting on with the platypus at all.
Bruce: Ah that’s a shame.
American: G’day boys!
Steve: See this is what I mean!
Bruce: Stereotyping! We never say that. I suppose you think we have knives like these on us all the time too.
American: Ha! That’s not a knife! This is a knife!
Steve: What? Jesus! That’s a gun! Get your podgy finger away from it!
American: Huh?
BANG
