Why, in the V&V do meat eaters break out the old:?!
*Note: I know some people actually DO hunt for food, so this doesnt apply to you people.
Answers: Vegetarian is an old indian word meaning bad hunter, if they, themselves get their meat from the store, if you call that hunting, I am speechless. Meat is more efficient, and pretty cheap, so in this way of thinking, can I call you Close-minded, lazy shopper.

It's just a really lame joke. Pick a race, ethnicity, dietary or sexual preference, and someone out there is going to have a lame, unoriginal joke that they think is the best thing since sliced bread.
Trust me, I'm 100% Polish, I have dated a Mexican and an Asian and I am now married to an Irish-Scot, and I have had insults and really, REALLY lame jokes told to me regarding me or who I was dating ALL the time.
It's just the nature of people. I think jokes about vegetarians are just as ignorant and prejudice-based as gay jokes, black jokes, Polish jokes, etc. People who tell these kinds of jokes have a certain audience and a certain sense of humor that I don't always appreciate (but it's always easier to hear jokes targeting OTHER groups, but once they nick at our own, it sucks... ah, hypocrisy, we are all like this).
I'm vegan, let me share some more jokes with you. Just learn how to laugh, it's easier to laugh than to make a big commotion:
Q: How many vegans does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None, vegans can't change anything.
Q: How many omnivores does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: None, they like to stay in the dark.
Q: Why did the vegan cross the road?
A: They wanted to protest for the chicken.
Q: Why did the omnivore cross the road?
A: Didn't someone see some nuggets walk by?
Q: Why do people kill animals?
A: Fur convenience steak.
((... For convenience's sake?))
Don't you feel better now? A little?
What???
Vegetarian is an old indian word meaning bad hunter - um, no it isn't.
Meat is more efficient - um, no it isn't.
Or are you making fun of meat-eaters that ask those types of question, I do know what you mean by this question. If you are, sorry no offence meant.
I'm not sure what your question is. Are you asking about why some people repeat old jokes?
I guess it's because they aren't smart enough to think of new jokes. A new bad joke is better than an old good one.
Also, vegetarians are pretty fair game to be made fun of. We aren't a "protected group" on the basis of religion, disability, race or sexual preference.
ha ha good one l have always wondered the samething
When people say that they just think they're being clever- same as the animal cracker joke.
You have believed a silly old joke! lol
They have also removed the word 'gullible' from the dictionary...
People are defensive and feel like they're being judged just because you're vegan. Those stupid questions (which usually consist of logical fallacies - one of them being "Appeal to tradition") usually arise from guilt and are intended to make you fit into their stereotype of vegans as miserable people. My advice: ignore them.
