(General talk about) jokes and humour

ahh... right...

[Farseer]

Quoting this joke that I came across today and which made me guffaw and snort aloud. Stereotypical, as oft jokes are, as we females are all different no matter where we originate from, but hopefully it is received as it is intended...as humour.

Three Englishmen married women from different parts of the world.

The first man married a Greek girl. He told her she was to do the dishes and house cleaning. It took a couple of days before he saw any effect, but on the third day he came home to see a clean house and dishes washed and put away.

The second man married a Thai girl. He gave his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, the dishes and the cooking. The first day he didn't see any results but the next day it was better. By the third day he saw his house was clean, the dishes were done, and there was a huge dinner on the table.

The third man married a girl from Australia. He ordered her to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed, and hot meals on the table for every meal. The first day he didn't see anything. The second day he didn't see anything either - but by the third day, some of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye, and his arm was healed sufficiently for him to make a sandwich and load the dishwasher. He still has some difficulty when he urinates.

I am more like the second doing the third's jobs, I must admit , but that's because I *want* to be or, at least, my darned pride demands it. I'd be the third if it were asked or demanded of me though...!

the essence of that one is a classic...

Hahah, I love it. I would definitely be punching someone if they demanded it of me.

Rather similar to some jokes here about Swedes, Danes and Norwegians. (bad, neutral, good)
