Depending on what's under the trench coat, you might say "Oh my!"

I could also say, "That's it?"

You could say anything. But if it not in context, they might look at you funny.

Yeah, because you wouldn't want to appear funny to a flasher.

What happens if two flashers meet? Do they just keep flashing at each other. Or does one get offended at being flashed at, and goes off in a hypocritical sulk?

As long as there is some mutual give-and-take going on, I don't see why it wouldn't be okay.

If you added a third flasher and painted them, you could have alternatve traffic lights.

With the quality of drivers I see, I'm afraid that would just lead to many accidents.

Massachusetts drivers have a reputation for being the worst drivers.

Hi! I'm Captain Stereotype, and I'd just like to add that Italian drivers are also lousy! Now back to your cartoon starring a central white character and a supporting cast that ensures that all other ethnicities are represented, but not in charge!

Is it still a stereotype if someone from that ethnicity/country says it is so?

It can be depending on the background of that individual. I was listening to a comedian from the southern part of Africa last week. He was saying things that annoyed him included his own government pretending to be impoverished and downtrodden in order to keep the charity money coming in. Regardless of positives in the country. They budget for the charity money. That kind of approach filters out into creating an outlook in some people of never being able to progress. So, they reinforce a stereotype and refer to it, even though they live there.
On the comedian, a funny bit was a reference to a racist right wing UK group. "It's their fault that I came to the UK. I was fooled by their advertising. The group blamed immigrants for taking the good jobs and the women. A good job and better dating was just what I wanted so I came straight over. They should rethink their marketing if they don't want people coming in."

I could split it into two posts, but I just remembered the joke as I was typing. Unless you meant "what a read" as in "what a load of …".

I was lazing in the garden this afternoon. We've had a couple of weeks of nice weather, and it's been nice to watch the cherry blossom fall in warm evenings.

If you thought that was profound, wait until I've had more beer...glug, glug, thump...ow...fallen over... can only reach ...punctuation... on keyboard...………
thoth lad didn't need to fall over, but does so automatically after a certain number of beers. Ironically, he's drinking Pavlov's Dog ale from Alloa.
