I heard it before. I got a chuckle out of it. Amusing, but not a knee-slapper. And I don’t find it offensive. ---

Shoot, they’d only have to go as far as Cambodia next door. Cambodia drives on the right. It used to drive on the left but one day about 15 years ago suddenly switched to the right in an attempt to stop the flow of stolen cars being smuggled into the country from Thailand. But who in Cambodia can afford a new car? So you have all these right-hand-drive cars driving on the right! ---

Even I don’t find it offensive. It isn’t making fun of any actual people. And, no, you wouldn’t do it in a speech, but that’s because it’s horribly lame. It’s only funny in an ironic way, OP. As in, how in the world can that guy find that joke funny? It’s an old joke from a kid’s joke book. Unless you have a killer delivery and can pull off the hipster schtick, it’s not funny. Sorry. ---

You called it that. And nothing I said should have brought you to believe I’d think Steve Miller must be ten people. But for some reason you think Abigail and Brittany Hensel count as one person.
