Some jokes from english misuse
我舅舅刚来多伦多没多久发生了车祸。警察来了问他当时的情况。他说 I stop, he not, so "BONG" ! * BONG* 就是那 撞车的声音
剛來不久和爸爸去買東西,買了之後發現隔壁賣的更便宜,就想退貨。 人家問爲什麽要退,我詞量有限,就指著我爸說:" he just wants his money back."
我想起来我一同学第一次来英国正好遇上入关检查特严,她妈妈让她给这边的一个朋友带了个金华火腿结果被狗狗闻出来了就被领取office了……
然后officer就要她解释用报纸包起来的东西是什么……
我那同学说leg……
然后那officer一脸被吓到的表情,问了句"Pardon" ....
然后我那朋友很大声重复说leg!
她说我当时想那officer怎么连火腿都不懂,还特地在腿上比划了半天leg啊leg就是leg啊……
在网上看到一个人说他同学刚出国闹的笑话,问他最近干什么,他说去看电影,然后问他有什么好电影,他说过两天有一部电影叫“COMING SOON”
刚来的时候想找份PART TIME的工作,看到有招工的,还有电话,我就打电话过去。。。当时刚来这里,好怕打电话。。。之后人家接电话,我一激动就说成: do you need a job?
以前有个经典的,也是说一人在国外看见交通事故,过后警察找他调查,他的回答是:
one car come,one car go ,two car bong bong ,one car die...
因为压韵所以记到现在。。。

Would it have killed you to write the damn thing in simplified characters at least?

Re: Some jokes from english misuse
She just copy-paste the jokes, that's why it's got traditional characters in it. If you use Google Translate (for example), it doesn't care if it's simplified or traditional and just translate the whole thing into English.
I guess there is some cultural gap, I didn't find them really funny. I understood all the jokes without any need to use a translation software, but they looked quite lame to me.
Ok, just clicked on the link, some funnier jokes (albeit same slapstick s..t) there.

Re: Some jokes from english misuse
Of all the Chinese jokes I've heard I have only found one that translates well enough into English to be funny. It goes like this.
Mao was on his death bed and he called Deng to talk to him before he died. "Deng, he said, after I die there will be some people that will wish to follow your ways. Deng said, "It's no problem. If after you die they don't wish to follow me I will just let them follow you.

Re: Some jokes from english misuse
Awesome. I'm going to remember this one.
From what my language partner told me a lot of Chinese humor is slapstick and puns is that right? It would make it extremely difficult to translate. Although I appreciate the difficulty of puns I don't find them as funny as most other kinds of jokes so I might be screwed for humor in Chinese >.<

There seem to be very few political jokes. Anybody cares to post some?
I only remember one from Russia:
Q: Who invented communism, a politician or a scientist?
A: Of course a politician - a scientist would have tested it on rats first.
Here is one that circulated in China some month ago:
本拉登说:中国是全球唯一绝对不能惹的国家!
原因是这样的:基地组织曾派出七名恐怖分子袭击中国,结果:一人在炸立交桥时转晕桥上;一人在炸公交车时没挤上车;一人在炸超市时,炸弹遥控器被盗;一人在炸政府大楼时,被保安狂揍:“叫你讨薪,叫你上访”;一人成功炸矿,死伤数百人,潜回基地后,半年没见任何新闻报道,遂被基地组织以“撒谎罪” 处决了;一人曾尝试炸广州,结果刚出火车站就把炸药包给飞车党抢了,半天没缓过神;一人去炸中国钢铁基地铁岭,被赵本山呼悠了;最近派一女恐怖分子去炸河南,被骗去做小姐了!
Translation:
Bin Laden says: “China is the only country in the world where you absolutely cannot cause trouble! That’s because al-Qaeda once sent seven terrorists to launch a surprise attack on China, and the result was this:
When the first terrorist went to blow up a grade splitting bridge for road traffic [where one road goes on top and the other below], he got dizzy and fell over;
When the second terrorist went to blow up a bus, he couldn’t get on because it was too crowded;
When the third terrorist went to blow up a supermarket, he found that his remote detonation device had been pick-pocketed;
When the fourth terrorist went to blow a government building, he was beaten madly to pieces by security guards, who exclaimed: “We’ll teach you to demand wages and appeal to the authorities for help!”;
The fifth terrorist successfully blew up a mine and killed and injured several hundred people, yet after his clandestine return to al-Qaeda, not a single news report about the incident appeared in the media for six months, so al-Qaeda punished him for the “crime of spreading lies”;
The sixth terrorist attempted to blow up Guangzhou, yet when he exited the train station, his explosive material was forcibly stolen by the “Galloping Band” (feiche dang) of motorcycle thieves, which left him traumatized for quite some time;
The seventh terrorist went to blow up Tieling - the base of China’s steel industry - yet the sad appeals of Zhao Benshan [famous actor and comedian from northeast China] discouraged him.
Recently, a female terrorist was sent to blow up Henan, but she was hoodwinked and made a prostitute!

These aren't funny - unless you're like 15 or have a really crappy sense of humor.
