Actually, I thought I might get such letters but did not.  I changed
the ethnic groups because the original version of the joke refers to
ethnic groups which no longer exist.  Even though the joke is somewhat
offensive to these groups, it does not call for people to run through
ethnic neighborhoods beating up Greeks, Germans or French.  Jew-baiting
is something beyond ethnic jokes.
