> Blodne jokes annoy me, because they all used to be Polish jokes that got "politically corrected," and political corectness bugs me. It bugs me even more when applied in such a nonsensical fashion; if the reason for changing something is so as not to offend anyone, what sense does it make to change it do a different group? Especially considering that the set of "blondes" is much, much larger than the set of "Polocks."

I had a roommate in college who solved the PC problem by inventing a race. Whenever he told a racial joke, he used his made-up race of poeple that didn't exist, which he called "Smogarians." It worked pretty well, in most cases.
