English people and their humor :)

Ioan Alexandru

Two Americans are talking. One asks: "What's the difference between capitalism and communism?" "That's easy" says the other one. "In capitalism man exploits man! In communism it is the other way around!"

We study and learn new things our whole life and yet we still die without knowing everything.

So, how are two Americans English?

Come to that, what is "humor"?

It's humour where there's a quota no the number of vowels that can be used.

Humor is any one of the four substances that fill the human body according to Greek medicine.

I would say he's Amish, they describe the Merkins as "The English", but that raises a larger question, why is an Amish person using a computer?

Humour or humor is the tendency of particular cognitive experiences to provoke laughter and provide amusement. And to reply to the other question... it's an english joke. And english jokes tend to be sarcastic or "dry". :wtf:

No, you say it's English people, not an English joke.

Humour I know, humor is a mystery. Also you'll find that every language and country is capitalised as they are proper nouns. Except for france, they don't count.

Did you hear that sound? It was a cultural reference going over your head. ;P Nagy is well aware that "humor" is the American spelling of humour. However, as an Englishman, he is obliged to pretend not to understand whenever anyone uses the American spelling of a word. It's the law - if we don't do it, the Queen will come round and have us executed for treason. And whilst Americans speak a (mangled) version of the English language, even they would object to being called "English people". As for Americans understanding sarcasm...

It was just a joke. :sigh:

The former is good, and the latter is bad. Communism equals socialism, so it must be bad :suss:

American jokes tend to be sarcastic or cruel. English jokes tend to be funny.

No, no, no! We don't have to be afraid of communists or socialists, any more! Now we've got ter'r'rists!
