PCB......think of it this way, not all people of Polish heritage will appreciate Polish jokes, and others are able to laugh at themselves. (same with Italians, people of Jewish faith, African-Americans.....etc, etc, etc.)

And the reason it is funny is because of the difference in the "age". The same way a TV show about an alien from another planet can't understand our human ways. And it is funny to watch them cope out of their league. Things were done very differently in the years B.C. and through the first centuries after Christ and are simply NOT how things are today.

I hope this helps you some, and I hope I didn't bore anyone else.

I personally find it hilarious and true.
