Jokes about Stupid People

I was thinking, it's interesting that you hear jokes about "stupid" educated people, but never about stupid farmers or framers or truck drivers. Course, I know there's plenty of those out there (the classic, Urban U is beating Rural U so Urban U fans take out their keys, shake them, and chant, "Start your tractor, start your tractor..."), and generally you wouldn't expect to hear "stupid farmer" jokes told by a farmer, but I almost sense insecurity in the fact that people tell "stupid college graduate" jokes. You know? Like, why would you denigrate a class of people if you weren't intimidated or insecure about them in some way?

That's not to say that they should be made intimidated and insecure by me, a college graduate. They shouldn't. Truly, I am intimidated and insecure at times about the amazing stuff farmers and handymen can do.

Ok, here's the joke, you've probably heard it before. And it doesn't bother me, honest:

A man comes to a farmer in search of a job. The farmer says, Sure, here's a broom, go over and sweep that building.

The man says, Sir, you don't understand. I'm a college graduate.

The farmer says, Please, just go over and sweep the building.

The man again says, Sir, you...you don't understand, I'm a college graduate.

The farmer frowns slightly, but repeats. Please, if you want a job, just go over and sweep that building.

The man is exasperated, and says the third time, SIR, you REALLY don't underSTAND. I'M a college GRADuate.

The farmer looks at him and his face lights up. Ohhhhhh, I see. In that case, here, let me show you how.
