This made me laugh

I would say Dutch and British humour is pretty close but not exact. Since the time of Robertson’s removing golliwogs from jam jars there has been - quite rightly - heightened sensitivity about giving offence. The flip side of that coin has been a certain encouragement to take offence and a spate of righteous teeth sucking on behalf of other people who probably weren’t anything like as offended.....patronising or what?!

Just don’t try and explain Zwarte Piet to a social justice warrior! A blank page for Miss Iceland would have been equally weak humour over here.

Meanwhile I struggle to find much US sitcom humour funny but loved Robin Williams. Then again, much reaction to Monty Python strikes me as about as spontaneous as when Kim Jong Un cracks a funny.....

Humour is inherently personal and depends on your state of derangement.

 

Please anybody, what exactly is this HUMOUR-thing, you all keep talking about?
And what on earth does it have to do with my Personal Computer?

Here’s an example herr hermann, say you take your bmw to the petroleum station to fill it up with fuel. Your tank will take,say, 25 marks worth of fuel and you manage to put in 25.5 marks worth of fuel! Funny, yes? No?

 

No. We pay with Euro.

But hey, the prices for fuel ain‘t my business anyway: I always gas up for 20,-€, therefore I am fully independent of any fuel price changes!

Hey @Havit ! You think, this was FUNNY ?
That would prove, Hans Hermann has some involuntary sense of humour!?
I‘ll report immediately to the bureau of Witzigkeitsvernichtungsangelegenheiten!

 

Bless you but you better go to the Doc before they ground you at work and get something to cure that

 

Hey @crispey
I am still pondering about your joke, yes?
Think, I got it: It‘s about the BMW, yes?
Now, now! This is funny! Gollywoggelly LOL-inspiring, holding-my-stomach-funny!
Sorry, it took me so long!
Best regards, Hans

On the subject of Gollywoggelly, there was a lad on an anti poaching unit in Kenya who used to take out guards on camps of poachers with his crossbow. When the Robinson jam factory in SA closed, he'd liberated a bag full of those Golly pin badges.

At the time I knew him he had eighteen of them let into the stock of his crossbow.
