Two jews walk into a bar. The bartender is a muslim. They all get along very well, sharing jokes and swapping personal stories for hours. The bartender doesn't drink himself, but he pours generously and the patrons tip well. After a few hours, one of the jews turns to the other and says, "here we are, two jews and a muslim. How come our people can't get along like this the world over?" The bartender thinks about it and says thoughtfully, "because we live in the richest country in the world. Dignity comes at a low cost when you're not forced to scramble for bare necessities and tear each others' throats out over living space. Without poverty, ideology is an unloaded gun." The other jew laughs and says, "I'm not touching that one!"
And so another would-be awesome joke peters out.
