Well I went hiking with our school any way half way up I rolled up my sleeves because I was geting hot when I got to the top one of the teachers cracked a "joke" that I (white men) were on a lower evolutionary scale because I/we was/were hairy just like a monkies.

Do Koreans have any idea of what comes out of their mouths sometimes?

Some Koreans say the darndest things. You should have shot back and said white guys have more hair since they have more testosterone than Korean men. Therefore, Korean men are actually more similar to women (or aren't really men at all).

Or would that be too nasty?

Yep, a few of the more boneheaded ones look at it as proof that they are more advanced than whitey!
I just chuckle with the idea that "how come, with all the focus on science and math here, none of them can win a Nobel Prize?".
The only one they could get was a swindled peace prize that they paid for handsomely and resulted in absolutely nothing!

I loved Japchae's response!

+ that could be another comeback:

"Body hair- that's why we win all those Nobel Prizes!"

a little off-topic, but here's what i expected this thread to be about:

what are some jokes that koreans often tell?

y'know, like we have the yo mama jokes (big culture shock over here), blonde jokes (not applicable), cultural minority jokes (doesn't work in a monoculture)...

what is a korean joke? is it aimed at japan? or maybe southeast asian factory workers? what are the joke forms, the content?

i'd also like to learn a korean joke in korean. someone tell one.

ROBerT.

Korean jokes only involve people making funny faces, men dressing in drag, someone speaking in a strange voice or someone getting hit in the head with a plastic hammer.

GO to a PC room. Lots of good jokes there.

"Gae sekki" hahahaha
"Ah, Shibal" hahahaha
"Mitchin Nom" hahahaha

Every 30 seconds later, it's funny again.

I heard this joke from one of my students. I tell it to my classes, and I pretend that it's hilarious, miming all the action, of course...

A rabbit is riding down the street on his skateboard. A tiger suddenly jumps out in front of him and roars "GIVE ME YOUR SKATEBOARD!"

The rabbit cowers, picks up his skateboard and says...

타 이것!

I'm not a MOD, but you are hereby BANNED until you apologize for that disgrace of a joke and come up with something better!!!!

Example: A hunter out for turkey had only one shell. His family was hungry. He saw a lawyer....and said, "What the hell.".

I'm drunk. I just made that up. Surely you can do better.
