The husband stood in front of the bathroom mirror, carefully flossing his teeth.

"Oooh!" he would sigh every once in a while, or "Aaah!" as the little thread did its work.

Suddenly, and seemingly without provocation, his wife stomped into the bathroom and gave him a swift kick.

Bewildered, the husband demanded, "What was that for?"

"I'm sorry," his wife replied stiffly, "but I just don't believe in sighing flossers."

Mneh... what?

I don't get it.

:confused:

StormyMystic, you just have to remember that ALOT of our members are not American and English is their second language. So they may not get a joke that is a play on words. I speak French, Spanish, and German and I know I might not get a play on words. The members from English-speaking countries might not get a joke that was too "American" if you know what I mean.

thanks but usually if a jokes is in other language and you tried to translate it into another language. the jokes will lose it's "funnyness" you know? ;)

Hmm, good point but it was worth a shot I guess.

Kakero is right. Usually those translation things don't pick up on idiomatic expressions or plays on words or whatever. Good thought though. Comforting to know that there are a few things still that the human brain does better than a computer.

I don't belive in Jame lokes either... But I belive I might have just been swayed into leeing the sight...

*bang* ... *Bang* ... *BANG*

Yearghh.... and I just was thinking about something to eat... not any more.

And I'm feeling slow, since I only caught it on the rebound. Back to eighth grade for me...

[img]graemlins/whipitgood.gif[/img] Bad pun! BAD! [img]graemlins/whackya.gif[/img]

does willow know you have her stick???
and hey careful with the whip

I'm afraid the joke doesn't work unless you have an American accent. Flosser and Saucer just don't rhyme elsewhere.

One of the most challenging things I've had to do in my past was translating during business meetings. Half the group were French speakers, and half English (or American, if you prefer).

Nothing is more exciting than having half the room burst out laughing at a comment while the other half looks at you to see what's so funny :D

It's a bit like "What's the difference between a buffalo and a bison?"

You can't wash your hands in a buffalo! [img]smile.gif[/img]

I get it...
*long groan*

I got that one, Donut.

that one I also don't get it Donut. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Kakero, you have to say it with an Audtralian accent.
