    Fair point, actually. For some reason, dentist's appointments are always considered a valid reason to fück off, aren't they?

    a) It's not racist anyway. You were doing a voice of someone who just had dentist work.

    Just thinking about that joke. If you say two thirty quickly over and over again it sounds like tooth hurty anyway - where did the Chinese bit come in - it doesn't involve the usual "l" or "r". Or maybe I am just overthinking it

    I believe the original joke was 'When does a Chinaman go to the dentist?'

    Tooth hurtee, innit. That's how chinamen were alleged to speak, back in the good old* days.

    Hmmm. What if I put a lampshade on my head, pull my eyes into slits and start saying 'Ahh-so. I am Ching-Chong Chinaman'?

    I think it's ok.

    You should apologise to him but make it sincere but as long winded as possible. and it end it with. Racism is never acceptable. it bugs me long time.
