Hehehe the banana one is cute.
Yeah, what I was trying to say is the sort of humour where there is NOTHING to figure out, that's it exactly.
I think the classic example is 'Why did the chicken cross the road?'
But some knock, knock jokes probably DO have a an actual 'joke' to them, and that IS often (always?) a play on words of some sort. So it's possibly a language barrier? It's hard for me to even remember English isn't your native language when you are perfectly fluent in it, but I suppose there ARE some weird little sayings and nuances in English. Especially the Australian version! (or so I am told)
