This is one my friend told me a while ago, I don't know if it's necessarily funny, but I just found it clever:
An American prisoner, An Indian prisoner, an Asian prisoner, and an Irish prisoner on death row were standing outside waiting to recieve their sentence.
But the Asian man came up with a clever idea. "Earthquake!" He chanted and the prison guards along with the prisoners looked around in fear to find the earthquake. In the ruckus, the Asian man chuckled and ran away to freedom.
Once the Indian man saw this he indeed thought it had been clever, he wanted to escape as well, so he tried it on for size. "Volcano!" he shouted and once again everyone panicked and looked around for the volcano. As they looked away, he too chuckled and ran away to freedom.
Now the Irishman was seeing what an ingenious trick this was, so he was going to try and escape as the other two had done. Thinking quckly he shouted, "Thunderstorm!" and the guards and the only prisoner left besides himself looked up into the sky, and as they were the Irishman chuckled and snuck away to freedom.
Now the American was the only one left, yet he knew what he had to do. All of the others had had success in their trickery, and he planned to be no different. Thinking quickly now, as the guards were becoming flustered, he took up all the strength he could muster and shouted "Fire!",
and was shot dead.
That's why America will be a land of Asians in the near future.
