A guy goes into a bar, there's a robot bartender. The robot says, "What will you have?"
The guy says, "Martini."
The robot brings back the best martini ever and says to the man, "What's your IQ?"
The guy says, "168."
The robot then proceeds to talk about physics, space exploration, and medical technology.
The guy leaves, but he is curious.
So he goes back into the bar.
The robot bartender says, "What will you have?"
The guy says, "Martini."
Again, the robot makes a great martini, gives it to the man and says, "What's your IQ?"
The guy says, "100."
The robot then starts to talk about NASCAR, Budweiser, and John Deere tractors.
The guy leaves but finds it very interesting, so he thinks he will try it one more time.
He goes back into the bar.
The robot says, "What will you have?"
The guy says, "Martini," and the robot brings him another great martini.
The robot then says, "What's your IQ?"
The guy says, "Uh, about 50."
The robot leans in real close and says,
"Isnt it terrible the way Biden stole the election?"

(20 posts)This isn't the first time I have seen jokes here making fun of people with intellectual disabilities. I worked with children and adults with low IQ and to insinuate that trumpers are low IQ is a slap in face to people with intellectual disabilities and their families. Would anyone here find it funny if we replaced the low IQ with a woman or a person of color? I doubt it so let's don't do it to people with intellectual disabilities. Many of them are sweet, kindhearted, caring people. They do not deserve being maligned in that way.

Not all people with intellectual disabilities are republicans, but all republicans are mentally disabled whether iow IQ or mental illness, or plain hateful and evil. Every single one.,

(3,134 posts)Comedians often use stereotypes, hyperbolas, and surprise, like in the joke, and they mean no harm. Many in DU laughed because they saw the unexpected stereotype and hyperbola. Once a joke is analyzed, it loses its humor. Only Trump mocks people with disabilities, but he's neither funny nor even human.

(3,134 posts)accommodate everyone based on his own stereotypes. Nobody was laughing at a disability, but in our culture it's a well-crafted joke.
