Here’s a nice long anecdote of a politically incorrect joke on rec.humor.funny usenet group in the 1980’s that put it on the map and raised the ire of several universities to make it one of the first to be banned.

A Scotsman and a Jew went to a restaurant. After a hearty meal, the waitress came by with the inevitable check. To the amazement of all, the Scotsman was heard to say, “I’ll pay it!” and he actually did.

The next morning’s newspaper carried the news item:

“JEWISH VENTRILOQUIST FOUND MURDERED IN BLIND ALLEY.”
