    You're welcome. Although I don't like what it directly implies. :)

      OK, that makes complete sense, but I must be stupid all the same, because I don't see the fun in it... Seems more like something you'd read in a chinese fortune cookie to me... Well, never mind. It seems that some people think that it's funny anyway, so that's ok. 10363311 members can't think alike all the time...

      Good to know that you understood it. What you said was exactly correct, "all the members can't think alike". I would like to add one more line, "English is not the native language for all the members". If you don't understand any joke, you can seek an explanation instead of criticizing it. Anyway thanks for your comments. Have a nice time.

        And how exactly have I done that apart from saying that I don't understand it? :confused:

          Hey come on Karen. This is just a joke. If you see most of the jokes in the world are impossible ones or imaginary ones. My intension was to bring a tiny smile, that's all. :)

              :) I think, I meant the following line of yours. "I think this joke might have translated poorly " Ok. Johnny. This conversation is being dragged. Lets start a new joke . :)

                  Sure a new joke will be fine! :thumbsup: But you misunderstand the contents of the sentence you point out. It's no critique. If it HAD been, I would have written "I think YOU have translated this joke poorly" or "I think this joke might have BEEN translated poorly". This is like saying: "My mother hasn't aged well" - It's not critique of the mother, just a statement saying how time has passed... Same with the sentence you point out. It's merely a statement meaning: "The joke might have been funny before it was translated, but it is less so after the translation"... No more, no less. If you are the person who voted abuse on that post, I'm sorry, didn't mean it as abuse. You have misunderstood the intention of the post and the meaning of the sentence, but it's my fault for writing it in a cryptic way that is not obvious to people who don't have English as their primary language...

                          Yeah, but we need a tiny smiley for that one.
