so a jewish guy and a chinese guy are on the subway, going to work together. they ride the same train everyday, and eventually a friendship develops. they also develop a joking rivalry against each other, so they often brag to each other. one day they're talking about their races, and the chinese guy brags: "my race developed the first known system of writing."

the jewish guy responds, "well my race developed the first great religion"

the chinese guy says, "my people built the great wall"

the jewish guy shoots back: "my people built the great pyramids"

the chinese guy says, "my civilization has been around for 3,000 years"

the jewish guy responds "well my civilization has been around for 5,000!"

the chinese guy's jaw drops and he says "holy shit! 5,000? what the hell did you guys eat for the FIRST two thousand years??"

sorry if any of the facts in this are wrong, it's an old joke and i am repeating it from memory, so the bragging things are probably not exact.

made funnier, though, by the fact that i had chinese tonight (i'm jewish)
