The
Iranian & the USMC General
The
Iranian Ambassador to the UN had just finished giving a speech and walked out
into the lobby of the convention center where he was introduced to a United
States Marine Corps General.
As they
talked, the Iranian said, "I have just one question about what I have seen
in America."
The
General said, "Well, is there anything I can do to help?"
The
Iranian whispered, "My son watches this show called 'Star Trek' and in it
there is... Kirk who is Canadian, Chekhov who is Russian, Scotty who is
Scottish, Uhura who is black, and Sulu who is Japanese, but there are NO
Muslims.
My son
is very upset and doesn't understand why there aren't any Iranians, Iraqis,
Afghans, Egyptians, Palestinians, Saudis, Syrians, or Pakistanis on 'Star
Trek'.”
The
General leaned toward the Iranian Ambassador, and whispered in his ear,
"That's because it takes place in the future..."
