tanja_70: As much as I try…….that is out of my power to understand some “idioms” which seam like jokes.

Just laugh and act like you do - never let the face reflect what the brain does not understand.

But I do not like to make any reaction on things which I can not understand.
Can you imagine: someone says something rude to me, and I should smile????

Ok..... American jokes are typically like this "Mislead someone and then take them by surprise with a comment" such as,
**All of this is misleading**
Bob was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife was
really pissed.
She told him "Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the
driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in 6 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE !!"
The next morning he got up early and left for work. When his wife woke
up, she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box
gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway.
Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, brought
the box back in the house.
**Now surprise**
She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.
Bob has been missing since Friday.

___________________________________________________________
a common dilemma even for those of us that do understand...
some jokes just are not funny ...
why laugh ... just make a quizzical look
and talk about the weather or something...
if one feels that there is something of value to be had in understanding ...
then just ask (a friend preferably) ..."what is so funny about that"
of course too much information
may be good or bad...
*open an insight into the teller of the joke ... scary.
*reveal a trait about a culture that thrives on making light
of its flaws.
*lighten the heaviness of the craziness all around.
in any event
when in doubt ... learn
