In response to: Some days ago, I posted a joke and for my surprise, it was not understood by many English speakers. That made me thinks about the different perceptions that we have according with our own culture, environment, language, etc. That gave me the following idea: could you show us what you think is the most characteristic joke in your region/state/province/country? I don’t mean the best joke (in fact it would be very silly), but the most characteristic one. Are you able?

After leaving a West Virginia Courthouse. A tearful woman looks to her now ex husband and gently asks... "Does this mean we aint brother and sister no more too?"
The Sesame Street bus is plodding along downtown. At the first stop, a great big fat woman climbs on, and sits next to another fat lady. "Hi", says the first one. "My name's Patty". The other one remarks, "What a coincidence".That's my name, too". The bus continues. At the next stop, a very gangly, disoriented youth steps aboard. "I'm Ross ss ss", he stutters. "And my folks say I'm special". He takes his seat, and the bus continues. At the last stop, an unkempt, goofy looking character gets on. Ross seems to know him, and says, "Hi ya Lester!" Lester walks to the back of the bus and sits down, takes off his shoes and socks, and begins rubbing and scratching the bottoms of his feet. NOW--WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?
two obese patties, special ross, and lester pickin' bunions on a sesame street bus. (apologies to Big Macs!)
Not a joke, but VERY regional.. A few years back Sun (Sin) City and Sun (Sin) City West, Arizona made national headlines and one very popular magazine. It seems local Sheriff Deputies caught a few of the "older generation" getting it on in their golf carts in various parking lots around the area. I don't have a golf cart, but I am seriously considering buying one.
One of my favorite places is my back yard, which is a golf course. Nothing like laying under one of the trees and, well, you know..
It is always best to check the time though, it can be a real shock the first time you are getting it on and the sprinkler system comes on..
ninamil: What is the best business in the world? Buy an Argentine for what he's worth and then sell it for what he thinks it's worth. ...
Well, these jokes speaking about the arrogance of the Argentineans are just 50 % true. As a matter of fact, this arrogance comes from “porteños” (ppl from Buenos Aires). I live in the interior and people here have nothing to do with it. Here I’m going to post another joke that shows another face of us. This to show how we laugh about our own disgraces(Munching, I hope you'll get this one ):
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.

Getting up he felt something wet on his pants.
He looked up at the sky and said,"Oh lord please I beg you let it be blood!"
