A cultural sense of humour

Donut · 01-16-2003, 08:55 AM

I have a feeling that only Brits will get this joke (if anyone does)

Can you tell me if you get the joke here?

A crab walks into a pub and says to the barman 'can I have a large scotch and a pint of lager?'

The barman replies: 'I'm not serving you any more!'

The crab says 'why not?'

And the barman replies: 'because everytime you come in here you give it all 'that'!

Everyone in my pub thinks it's hilarious.

Ummmm... a joke may not be funny if you explain it... but its a damn sight more funny than a misunderstood (or not understood AT ALL) joke...

Parlez vous Anglais?

Yes Donut - that was for you - your joke is like a foreign tongue to me.

There's a PM in the post.

Davros. Don't feel bad. You need some specific knowledge to get this and I think only londoners could get it. I know it's possible because Lanesra got it when I told him on the phone.
