Korean Job Discussion Forums

[ed]

I heard a joke the other day and at first I thought "that's not funny" and later I thought "that was a stupid joke" and still later I thought about it some more and I began to laugh because I thought "it's so stupid it's funny".


I told this joke to my korean wife and days later she still says it's not funny at all.

what do you think?

John was sitting on a park bench and Bill walked up and sat down.
John looked ever and shocked said "good god!, why do you have a giant purple head?"

Bill said "I was walking on the beach one day and saw an old bottle in the sand. I picked it up and rubbed it and a genie popped out. "for releasing me I will give you three wishes." "okay, my first wish is to have a billion dollars." poof! he had a billion dollars.
"my second wish is to be the smartest man in the world." poof! he became the smartest man in the world.

John said "so how in the world did you end up with a giant purple head?"

"I used my third wish to wish for a giant purple head."

Not funny. And it's the second time that joke has been posted on this board this week.

There was a lonely maiden sitting by the cinders.
A fairy godmother appeared in a cloud of smoke.
"I'll grant you three wishes," she said.
"My first wish is to be a princess."
Poof! The lonely maiden changed into a beautiful princess.
"My second wish is to live in a palace."
Poof! The wretched hovel changed into a magnificent palace.
"My third wish is for that cat over there to change into a prince."
Poof! The cat changed into a handsome prince.
The prince walked up to the maiden and said, "Now aren't you sorry you took me to the vet?"

Rene Levesque dies and goes to heaven. He's before the pearly gates. He's about to step through the gates when St Peter slams the door shut.

"But I've been a good Catholic!" cries Levesque.

"Sorry," answers St. Peter. "New rule. French outside, English inside."

A joke that was only funny in the aftermath of the supreme court's ruling on Ford v. Quebec. The court struck down Quebec's "French only" sign law. In response, the Quebec government modified its sign law that signs outside were to be French only, but signs inside could have English (albeit that English had to be smaller than the French).

A joke from the old soviet days

A worker at a tractor factory saves and saves his money for 5 years and finally has enough to buy a Lada car. He goes to the Lada dealership and picks out a car. The dealer is writing up the contract and says "Your new Lada will be available for pickup in 14 months. Is that okay?"

"Sure, I guess," says the tractor factory worker. "But can you tell me if I should come in the morning or the afternoon?"

"Why does it matter? It's 14 months from now?"

"Well, I have to know because the plumber will be coming in the morning."

Apparently, soviets had developed an utterly black sense of humor to help them deal with life under communism, something we never really discovered about them in the west.
