Tell me something humorous about your culture..

hi vandy from US and southern California Isort of hate this myself and seldom do laugh as I worked as a nurses aide for years and the injuries from falls makes the falls not at all humorous to me. but my fellow Americans will watch this stupid supposed humor best American videos or some such name. Mostly they are videos of people in various pursuits getting their feet tangled or tripping over some silly thing and falling hard. People will just laugh their fool heads off ovet this stupid videos. also if an American farts in public oh my G laughter, it just really gross, never mind how embarrassed the poor farter is. they love things like the three stooges wheo mainly bop each other over the head and that just brings down gales of laughter. I have a sense of humor but its a more refined one.I had to laugh when after I had written in a respoonse that I was mylotting while eating a delicious hot dog with all the trimmings. My fellow poster responded to me" I thought you were a lovely lady . why you eat dogs? thats wrong." I am going oh my G and laughing like an idiot so I comment back" O h my dear mylotter, no I would never eat a dog. no I meant a beef wiener or perhaps you know them better as sausages. we love dogs , and we have them as pets,we would never ever eat dogs at all." He responded"Oh I am so glad,you really are a nice lady. so you have a dog as a pet too?" I had to reply "I wish I cou ld but pets are not allowed here at Gold Crest unless you put down a hundred dollar deposit and pay forty dollars extra on your rent. that I annot afford."

Ssssssh! Laughter in India on any culture comes at a price.... I cannot laugh as I do not want to end up there You can laugh at a silly and boring movie, toon, soap on TV many other things... but when it comes to culture, politics, superstitions - the things that can really make me feel like laughing... these are all banned But still one here - We should always think about us first, then family(ies) and then if anything left for the country.

Hi vandana7, here are a couple of them. The first one is To borrow comb from a Buddhist monk". And the other is To take off trousers before farting.

Sorry ma, but south african don't have a sense of humor. We don't find things funny. Hell, i don't even know if we have a culture. I don't have one, that's for sure.

Down here, Aussies laugh at things others don't see the funny side of... & that is funny to others in itself. We find word plays / double meanings funny & our sense of humour can be described as a dry & ironic, full of idioms & rhyming slang, which most don't understand or like. We laugh easily at others & just as much at ourselves. We have a fair bit of the "tall poppy syndrome". Our practical jokes have dramatically reduced in recent times & were often misunderstood by some, but laughed at by others. We often adjust our behaviour markedly in response to our audience at the time. We cheer on the underdog. To return one of our insults with interest has an endearing effect on us & strangely makes us feel quite comfortable! What do we do that makes others laugh? Wrestle crocodiles? Say "that's not a knife, this is a knife"? Bend Bananas? Act like idiots, clowning around in other countries? Get drunk too often & make a scene? You can take your pick.
