This has to be the start of the definitive list of stereotypes. Included are: 1) All typical Indians ever do is get drunk (in Gallup, NM). 2) The medical and legal professions are where "you will find many Jews", the strong implication being that there is nowhere else that you'll find many Jews. 3) The thing Mormons care most about is an expensive business suit. Mr. Sutin: I'd like to see the statistics you've got to back up these claims. From what scientific studies or census were they taken? Anyone got any other gems to contribute to this list? Perhaps we should continue it in net.jokes! Ken Reek, Rochester Institute of Technology seismo!rochester!ritcv!kar
