Sense of humor
I’ve noticed that people from so called ‘Western world’ manage more or less the same kind of humor. So it’s easy for us (those who belong to this), to get irony etc. But people from out of this western environment seem to get other code. Their sense of humor looks sort of naive or too simple to me.Of course this is just my opinion and I don’t intend any offense. I’m just trying to get the cultural differences.
Have anyone else noticed it or is it just me?

I would say, elective affinities!, But also I partly agree with LIVEINHOPE!
But I have noticed sometimes what is funny to some incites riot in others...All part of the mix I think,in this United Nations Meeting !!(CS Run Amok !!!!)...
Jana, we in Argentina also manage a lot of self-irony.
It seems to me that the humor helps to endure hard situations or bad conditions, and our country has passed several times with that.
So we are the first ones laughing of our own incapacity.
An Argentinean dies and goes to hell. As his father was German and his mother British, he was given the chance to choose. First they show to the guy the German hell, and it looked terrible. The executioners were lashing the victims without pity while they impaled them of a bed of nails. As if that was not enough, there were blazing flames of fire surrounding them so they couldn’t move without burning themselves.
The guy was terrorized and asked to see the British hell, but it was just as terrible as German one. So he walks on to see the Argentinean hell. What a surprise he gets when he sees to be a place of absolute peace and tranquility.
So he asks the guide why there’s such a difference with the
other two. The guide replies that actually it’s the same in all of them, but what has happened in the Argentinean hell is the executioners are on strike due they are not getting paid, the nails have been stolen and there can’t be any fire because there’s not fuel at all.
Yeah…sounds as a good idea. So you might join us and tell a joke
Parti, Ohhh it was just a cigarette break!!! I’ve never heard it before from here.
