today, i have come to the realisation that certain jokes can only be told in a certain accent.
for example, imagine this joke being told in a malaysian accent:
have you heard about the cowboy who came into town wearing a brown paper suit? he was arrested for rustling!not only will you get a "huh?!" from most people if it were to be told in malaysia, it would also sound horribly unfunny and lame. i even find it totally unhilarious in its written form - it's the kind of joke i used to gag at when reading joke books -_-
HOWEVER, it is also one of my GP's favourite jokes (told to him by a patient), and when he tells it in his english accent (i don't know for sure if it is an english accent - i think it is, but i know he's half scottish and he used to spend quite some time in wales and he has been in scotland for the past 26 years so...) it comes out sound quite humourous and we both laughed like idiots for a while after it was told. -_-
here's another one my GP has told me on two separate occasions, it comes up when somebody mentions the word 'kid':
oh! that reminds me! have i told you this joke before? 'doctor, doctor! i feel like a goat!' 'really, how long has this been happening for?' 'a really long time now, ever since i was a kid!!!'at which point he (my GP) will stare at you expectantly and with hope shimmering in his eyes waiting for a deserving (and favourable) response to this joke which obviously sparkles with intelligent wit and charm.
do you think i should tell my GP some jokes? i'm planning on telling him this tomorrow:
why did the skeleton go to the party alone? because he had nobody to go with!ha. ha. ha. i am hoping that it will strike some medical chord in him and that will become one of his favourite jokes...............................................
maybe i should tell him some gardening related jokes as well seeing as how he is totally obsessed with his vegetables and flowers and fruits (he has recently grown some tomato pineapples and he has no idea what they are HAHAHA):
shit i forgot the joke. wtf.
(this is me staring at the screen blankly for 3 minutes)
no. really. i forgot the joke. shit i need to get an mmse done -_- OH YES I REMEMBER IT NOW
which flowers can be found on your face? two-lips!and with that, i shall leave you paralysed in the wake of the immensity of my punniness.
sekian, terima kasih. :)
HAHA :D
