Ok, so this is out of place - EXCEPT - is shows what you may expect when Wall Mart arrives in your country of choice ... A blonde was weed-eating her yard and accidentally cut off the tail of her cat which was hiding in the grass. She rushed her cat, along with the tail over to WAL-MART! Why WAL-MART??? WAL-MART is the largest retailer in the world!!!

OK, more in the line with our concept fo British humor. How does it measure up, Leslie?
Subject: The Maid
A lady was quarreling with her maid, and the maid decided to tell her some home truths. "I'll tell you, madam" she said "That your husband has told me himself that he thinks I am a better housekeeper. She continued, 'that I'm a better cook and laundress than you are!' And she gloated 'He even says that I am prettier than you are.' But that's not all - "I am better than you in bed!"
"I suppose he told you that too??" demanded the lady.
"No" she replied. "The gardener told me that!"

Kaima Yes, much more in tune with British humour. I see shades of 'Lady Chatterley's Lover' in the story, particularly at the end!
But I do like and have been enjoying the Mleczko cartoons - they are also a history of Polish life.

Kai Did you read my two jokes in 'Jokes, Jokes .....'? Now they are what I would say are typical British jokes - understated humour. Leslie

I am very happy they are being posted on the forum; it tells us a lot of the humor and perspective of the Poles. Kai Do take note, please, I am not abusing the Britts at the moment! When I do, it is only because they speak almost the same language and 100 years ago their ego was up where our (American) ego is today. Nothing personal, and no serious offense intended either.

Some clips of very good shows you've found, Pieter - I personally have always loved the show Coupling! Me too, Suzanne, I even stayed up one time when they showed a lot of Coupling episodes, the one after the other, for hours on a Dutch chanal on staturday night (sunday evening), I think it's my favorite with Asbolutely Fabouless and Sensitive Skin. I am just a great fan of Joanna Lumley, the Britsh star actress.

Well, not knowing who Tommy Cooper is, I will guess this has to be Aussie (Australian) humor. I certainly could not follow it all, so if you have English (of any dialect) as a second language, accept this as a challenge to stretch your understanding!

Kai Education! Tommy Cooper was an English comedian/magician who made jokes as he was doing his magic tricks which always went wrong. He wore a red fez. Very funny man.
Thank you for his jokes - I always thought he was one of the best of our comedians. His catch line was 'Just like that' as another of his tricks went wrong!
