Christmas Humor

Feeling a little bit of holiday spirit last night (in the form of too much cold medicine) on a whim I decided to do a google search for "Christmas Jokes." As you can imagine, there are quite a few Christmas-themed jokes out there. As you can probably also imagine, very few of them are actually funny. One in particular that I ran across is entitled "Hispanic Christmas." Well, hispanics celebrate Christmas, so maybe it's a joke that centers around particularly hispanic Christmas customs? Um, not so much:

"The night before Chreemas, on Thorsday I theenk,
I go to cantina to geet me a dreenk.
I dreenk saam tequila, I dreenk eet too fast,
Preety damn queek, I fall on my ass."

So in the first stanza we learn our joke involves a drunken Mexican with a Speedy Gonzalez accent. But the "joke" ends strangely. After "Speedy" encounters a Mexican Santa Clause, Santa clause speeds away but not without issuing one last admonition:

"He going away and the last theeng I heeer,
'IF YOU VOTE FOR BILL CLINTON, I BE BACK NEXT YEAR!'"

Huh? Okay so at first glance that seems pretty anti-Clinton. But wait, does that mean Mexican Santa's visit to Speedy was a bad thing? Or is he saying that Mexicans should vote for Democrats and he'll reward Speedy if he does? I don't get it. Maybe I should't, considering the "joke" is at least 10 years out of date, if not more.

I shall continue my search for elusive Christmas humor. More updates to come.
