Funny Joke About Tourists
Three tourists were traveling in South America: a redheaded Irishman, a black-haired Frenchman, and a blonde American. They all found themselves in a bar in a small Latin American country which was ruled by a strict dictator. As luck would have it, they got into an argument and a bar fight soon started. The local military police arrived and arrested them.
At their trial before a tribunal, they learned their luck was even worse than they had thought. The bar was owned by the brother of the dictator. The three of them were promptly sentenced to five years in solitary confinement.
Before they were taken away to prison, the judge said, “You are foreigners to our country. I will grant you each one favor: You may choose one item to help you pass the time in our prison. What do you wish for?”
The red-headed Irishman asked for a five-year supply of fine Irish whiskey. The black-haired Frenchman asked for a five-year supply of fine French wine. The blonde American requested a five-year supply of cigarettes. The judge granted all three requests, and the three were led off to prison and thrown into individual cells down in the dark, damp basement of the prison.
Five years later they were let out one by one. First the Irishman was released. He staggered out, drunk, barely able to stand, and quickly stumbled out of the prison without saying a word. The Frenchman was released next. He swaggered out, rather drunk himself, and walked out into freedom. The American was released last.
As the American stepped out into freedom, he said, “Does anyone have a freaking match?”
