Told a joke that in retrospect was not a good idea

[SilberUrS6]

The saying in comedy is that if you have to explain the joke, it really wasn't funny.

So, the joke goes "What do you use to go hunting for Christmas trees? An M249."

Know your audience, folks.

Well, the good news is you don't owe me a new keyboard.....

A few months back, I was in a store across town, (an area that has become heavily Indian populated)
And when I was leaving, I said

"Open Sesame"

like we use to do as kids, not realising that anyone was paying attention (didn't say it loud either) and then I realised everyone was giving me dirty looks.. Oh well.

I was at a home depot picking up some Post Haste for setting the bottom of my fence posts and a guy with one arm was wrestling with a bag of cement.
I was smart enough to ask him if he needed a hand.....
He didn't flinch and accepted my help but I felt like an ass.

Hmmmm. Alibaba was Arab, not from India...

Even if they were Arabs, there's nothing negative about saying "open sesame" as far as I know.
