Wait a minute!!!  The (highly significant) difference between
making fun of your own and making fun of someone else has
already been discussed on the net.  Every societal group has
its own Chelm.  For me to tell Texan, or Midwest, or Southerner
jokes to someone in Batavia shouldn't give Batavians the cue
to start making fun of a group of Americans.  Let's stick to
our own Chelms, and not jump on the bandwagon just because
someone within that ethnic group (and with some sensitivity and
affection) has broken the ice about Chelm.
