- While this can be funny, I think there are people who have no TV and
- no child.
-
- Remember the good joke formula:
- you need 3 persons to tell a good joke: the one who tells, the one who
- hears, and a third who doesn't catch it. Just make the joke funnier.
-
- BTW, I catch it. I am a working software engineer and must recognize this
- world is moving very fast. WIthout the newsreader or reading the relevant
- magazines, I can easily lose the track. And if I was not reading the
- saturday newspaper nor listening to TV news from time to time, I could
- ask: hey, what is that Kuwait war? Who's that Clinton they talked about
- in that funny sketch (BTW, there is a lot of USian jokes we just can't
- catch outside of USA).
-
- Ever heard this one? A farmer comes to the general store and say he wants
- a Hooz-tawkin. The salesperson just don't catch it. Never heard of a
- Hooz-tawkin. The farmer says: but, you have one and I want one me too.
- SP says: can you show me. ANd the farmer shows a phone. SP says:
- well, this is a telephone. Why do you call this a Hooz-tawkin? The, the
- phone rings. SP says "A moment please. ... Hi, Who's talking?"
