Paddy's in Japan on business. The night before a golf game with his Japanese business partner, he decides to go to a brothel. While on the job, the girl screams, “SUNG WA! SUNG WA!” He thinks this must mean “very good! very good!" so hammers on, all proud! The next day playing golf, the Japanese businessman sinks a long putt. Paddy wanting to impress, yells “SUNG WA! SUNG WA!” the Japanese man turns around and replies, “What do you mean... wrong hole?”
Bonjour, are you really sure it was Paddy, not Rastus or Abdullah. Oh no ! that would be politically incorrect for a moderator. I don’t mind jokes about paddy’s or any other nationality, I’m not Woke, but I do object when someone is fearful to use such terms. Oh, let’s just say Paddy I can get away with that, don’t really see why you should to be honest. Anyway, It was more likely a frog.

I think the “no replying after 9pm” suggestion could apply here! I was more concerned about the hooker, quite frankly.

I don't feel 'fearful' to use such language; it just seems (nowadays) polite to avoid causing unnecessary offence or reinforcing odd-fashioned prejudices. So just very easy to adapt the joke from 1980s to 2020s sensibilities by saying, "A businessman is visiting Japan...." or "John is visiting Japan..."

The ducks all went down with bird flu and the vet has taken them away for tweetment.
The pigs have swine flu and I have to apply oinkment.
