Hey, good evening, I’m filling in for Jerry Seinfeld tonight! Well, I’ve got to tell you the truth, I’m not just for tonight: this is Britain, his job’s been outsourced. (wink) You can tell by my jokes it was to the lowest bidder. What else would you expect from a Romanian? A man’s got to make a living. Would you rather have me cloning your cards instead? (grin) No, seriously. (bigger grin)
By the way, any more Romanians tonight in the audience? (pause) You know, ’cause I’m worried, I left my car open in the parking lot with 200 grand in the glove compartment… Just checking, I see nobody’s leaving the room, so there must be no more Romanians. Now you can really speak out what you really think of them. That will be 20 pounds for the research. (grin)
Don’t get me wrong, I love my people. It’s a good hard working people. Smart. Only the best part about Romanians is they can’t be taught political correctness. (amazed face) It’s impossible. I know this may amaze you, but we’re the most racist people on the planet: we hate the black, the Indians, the Chinese, the Russians, the Germans, we hate the overweight, we hate the gay, we hate the straight – the whole fuckin’ human race. And Romanians most of all! So we may be racist, but at least we’re indiscriminate. And we’re always right, so don’t contradict me! I put curse on you!
So we’re racist. Romanians are over 90 percent orthodox. Now, really, ho many black Orthodox Christians have you ever seen? Any black monks on Mount Athos? What does that tell you???
Imagine a black dude trying to make his way into the Orthodox clergy. Do you know how they scare children in Romania to go to bed? “Sleep, my son, or the black man will come and get you and eat you!”. Go tell the villagers in Dracula’s village raised to fear the black man that from now on their link with God will be father N’gumb Q’uusquwt M’bwugnu from Zimbabwe, bless his soul…
But they don’t do it with malice. It’s in their nature to be politically incorrect. The same way white men can’t jump, or black guys have a really big dick – you know, one each – or Chinese people are all Kung-Fu masters or all Native Americans are shamans. Or all British shop keepers are named Raj. See? It’s simple for us to just admit. If we offend a black guy, we can just go: I’m sorry, I’m sorry, didn’t mean to be offensive, it’s just that (pause…) I’m Romanian… It’s like a hereditary condition. I got it from my ma’. (grin). See, not “Yo ma’, it’s “My ma’”… I know it pisses you off, but I’m Romanian, “you can’t touch this! taaaaaaaa-na-na-na!”
Anyone here from the Army? God bless you, we love the Army. Hell, when you’ve got a bunch of guys armed and trained to kill, what would you tell them, right? “Boo, we hate the army, we think you’re just fighting wars overseas for multinational corporations and not in the defense of your people?” I’d like to see the man stupid enough to do that. No, sir, I looooooooooove the army!
The US Army’s got one slogan I particularly like: Be all you can be. That sounds so generous, really. You’d obviously expect an army to encourage diversity: Be all you can be. They thrive on being different from one another, don’t they?? Be different! That’s an order! You must comply! Do as everyone else, be different! Everyone else is! You’re special, just like all of us!
If I were in the army and the sarge would order me “Drop and give me fifty!”, I’d be in a jam. I’d probably pay the man his 50, and only then I eventually would drop. From heart failure. That’s us, Romanians, we’re not used to paying. Not with our own money, at least. Really, how lame can you be as a Romanian paying with your own credit card? There’s so many English people who can’t spend in a lifetime at least only what’s on the HSBC account…
So in the Army you can be all you can be. I’ve been in Iraq and in Afghanistan a couple of times as a reporter. So in the Army you go in as a man and you can become things you never thought you had in you: spare ribs, calf, liver, brain. The works.
But Romanians do love the army. That’s a fact, in the polls, the military in Romania is second only to the Orthodox church in trust and popularity. And you’re calling the poor Arabs armed religious fundamentalists! You know, in a country like ours, where God and the uniform rule supreme, I wonder why do we even pretend to have a democracy. We’re a poor enough country! Why have 10 political parties and elections all the time? Why have a government and a parliament with 700 seats that cost millions? Let’s spend that money on candles and rifles! That’s what the people really love!
But you know us, Romanians, we hate ourselves so much we can’t even bear to stay in our own country. So we actually staged all this democracy sharade just to enter the EU and get to clean carpets in the UK for minimum wage.
OK, enough about Romanians. Ever been to any night clubs recently? Yes, in London, I mean. Did you notice that some of the clubs don’t allow single men to enter. It’s either single women of couples. Did you? Happened to you too?
So I’m thinking: first of all, it’s unfair to all the gay men. Lesbians can waltz in, have their way. Single women can come in, drink themselves silly. Single men can’t. OK, we understand the logic, we don’t want single men getting drunk, hitting on some other bloke’s date and starting a fight. But what about the poor gay couples? Can’t they come in?
OK, I’m a security guard and two gay men come to the entrance. What do I do? “Hey, boys, are you single men?” – “Oh, no, sir, we’re gay and we’re together!”. I should probably have to believe that, right? No straight male is so desperate as to pretend he’s gay so he can meet single women, right? I should believe them…
But I’m a security guard, do I just take their word for it? I let these two in, soon everyone will claim they’s gay. “Oh, let me in, hottie pants! I’m as queer as they come!” How could I make sure? Really, should I get a shrink to stay with me at the entrance and evaluate every man? Sit them on the couch and give them the works and after an hour get the result: “Hmmm. According to ze chart I hev dravn, you are only confused, not gay. Out you go now!”
Do I get them to make out just to prove it? Will making out just be enough? What if the management ask for irrefutable proof that they’re gay? A quickie by the entrance will suffice, manager, sir?
But this is really not about the gay. Look at the world, people! Us, men, the fighters, the builders, the masterminds, the darers and the adventurers – we can’t enter a club without being accompanied by a woman. I guess you know what’s next… Soon they won’t let us out of the house unless chaperoned by one! And we’re still picking on the Arabs!
Thank you, I’m also available for funerals and union meetings!
