What does this joke mean?


I didn't get this joke, could someone explain it to me

When they're looking at the nose Miles says, "Wow, it's in a lot worse shape than I thought, better lay off Armenian women"

reply



i suppose this joke has something to do with the belief that Armenian women have bad looking noses

It's funny how a jew would mention that. I doubt he meant that though. Why would they make his nose look bad?

I had to rewind and watch that joke again too. Does he mean a man with a nose like that better not procreate with an Armenian woman for the sake of the offspring?
