[primitive]

-- A Phong, A Drushocka and Xiati walks into the cantina.....

The bartender (Taz) takes one look at them and says, "What is this? Some kind of joke?!?!?"

To stamp out burning ducks.

is a real old one. I'm sure I heard it in kindergarten. I say again, does that just sound funny in French with a German accent or what?

To be honest, i have never heard that joke before. Anyway, one has to wonder how they collect data and how representative their method is.
I don't think it's very scientific.

In Canada, Moosehead is a beer.
In USA, it is misdemeanor.

IIRC the moose is the largest deer in the deer family.

It can weigh almost a ton and Canada has a lot of them.

The numbers of moose in Canada may be one of the causes of all the "Canadian" moose jokes.

IIRC, one province has more moose than people.

Anybody care to venture which province that is?

..I'm an english speaking Canadian living in Quebec,.. I have the right to remain silent, anything I say can and will be used against me by the Language Police. I have the right to an atourny, if I can not afford one a unilingual french speaking avocat will be provided for me...

I read this somewhere way back, I find it really funny. Personally I'm bilingual so I don't have this kind of problem, My problem is that the french think I speak with an english accent and the english think I speak with a french accent! Probably because I throw in words from both Languages and this confuses them!

Nuf said! Cheers!

Oh that is too funny, I'm trying to picture the average conversation in my head.

Once I was making random calls to component vendors, and one was located in (pronounced) mOn-rA-'[a']l -- the nice receptionist lady answers the phone, "Hello, Bounjour", and I was stunned for a second or two.

thinks"She said hello twice ... am I supposed to greet her back twice? "

So, why wasn't Jesus Christ born in Italy?

They couldn't find 3 wise men and a virgin.

I told this to my father and sister, and they both said, "Nothing in that joke is specific to Italians, you could have put any nationality there, why are you dumping on ours?"

I told my mother, and she looked at me puzzled for 3 seconds, then put down the iron, put her head on the ironing board, and laughed hilariously for a solid minute.

Some people have more fun just being a contrarion. That's their choice. But if something could be funny, you should give it a chance to move you.
