unlike me, until now I still don't have the guts to tell jokes here.

Well, not all of us get endless loads of crap in our email, some of us filter it out

Kakero · 04-27-2003, 09:57 PM

no not that, it's just that the jokes that I know of are not in english.

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.

Gangrell · 04-27-2003, 10:16 PM

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.
