�Tork�-stereotypes in Farsi/Shirazi cultu

The most of jocks about Azeri people are made by themselves. I remember many nights i sat with my Azeri relatives and they keep telling Azeri jocks all the time.

An Azeri man falls from the roof of his house to the garbage can in the street and it makes a big noise. People running hastily to him and ask "what's happened, what's happened?" and he says "i don't know, i just arrived"

very nice joke!

It is said an Azeri swimmer pulls himself up out of the pool and says "I wonder how the pool tiler could hold his breath for so long!"

I have a friend who is from Shiraz and he knows lots of jokes about people from Tabrez.  He told me once a joke about  "Khar e Tabrezi" it was about a chicken stealing Mullah.  Dont remember.

no i havent heard that. can you translate it?

all i got to say is this:

you know a country is unified, when you can sit a all the different ethnicities together, tell jokes about them, and laugh with no one getting offendent.

its a beautiful thing, something which is lacking in the west.

albroz, have you hears the rashti joke about the guys nose being pointy?

well i'll say it anyway,

a rashti guy goes to tehran (rashti's tend to have pointy noses).  he meets this guy and starts talking to him. the tehrani asks him if he would like to see a joke, the rashi guy says yes.

so the tehrani guy, puts his hand over a sharp object, and tells the rashti guy to hit his hand. at the last moment, the tehrani pulls his hand away and the rashti hand gets hurt.

so the rashti guys thinks of a way to get the tehrani back, he comes up with an idea! he goes to the tehrani and says, now its my turn to tell you a joke. the rashti guy puts his hand over his knows and says to the tehrani "hit my hand as hard as you can", at the last moment, the rashti guy moves his hand and he gets hit in the face.

the joke is supposed to be about how "stupid" rashti's are.

i apologise to any rashti's that are here, but knowing the iranian tradition, i dont think you really care.
