So they hire a young man to become the new warehouseman. Happens the best man for the job is Chinese. Barely speaks English, but comes with the best references.
Young dude gets all trained up to work the warehouse. "Young man, you'll be stationed in supplies." With that, he's off.
Not to be found at the end of the day, they send out a search party (big warehouse). Well, shucks, I don't know. Let's look for him tomorrow.
Days go buy. Weeks. Months.
Young man is forgotten.
Until one day, out from behind a big ole crate, out jumps young dude.
"Where have you been? We've been looking for you for months"
and young dude replies:
SUPPLIES!

Not really funny, with just a hint of racism.

But I knew it was coming. Someone had to. No hard feelings...

No, racism is a joke I heard the other day involving an Eskimo, a gay guy, and a black guy...
This was just making fun of accents that asian people (specifically Chinese) tend to have when they learn English. Personally I thought it was funny. Heck, in one of our presentations at school we used a friend's accent (Boston) to make the class laugh before we started.
*Phone Rings*
Me: Big Rob's Motorcycle Shop, How can I help you?
Him: Yeah, I need a part (sounds like pot in his accent).
Me: Umm, I'm sorry sir, this is a motorcycle shop, we don't have kitchen utensils.
Him: No, I need a part for my bike!
Me: Umm, I'm sorry, I still don't understand you. (Look at the class, what's he gonna do, boil the bike?)
Him: NO, I need a paRt for my motoRcycle.
Me: Oh, a paRRt for your bike.
Him: Yeah, a paRt. (All pissed off at this point)
Me: Ok, what kind of paRt do you need?
Him: Yeah, I need a carb (sounds like cob)
Me: No, you need to speak English! Ya know what, they don't pay me enough, screw this! (Hangs up)
No matter what Corbin here is talking about with boiling corn or whatever, we're here to give a presentation on carburettors!
We had the class literally laughing for a few minutes before we could start.
