Reply to comment by johnsolomon in I went to the zoo today and there were 2 baguettes in a cage by MrRickSter

I'm sorry for asking. I am French and wonder all the time if the humor I see on this site is English or American, Where are you from?

The French are not fond of and do not like to contemplate German humor.

Da, of course! For instance. Dis you ever hear de one about the two men und the bear?

>!the men, who were taught to always respect nature, said to the bear, "No, thank you. We would like you to leave now. The bear, being a wild animal, did not care about their respectful request and mauled them to death!!<

Haha, silly men. This is not how you deal with a bear!

Editors note >! I'm not actually German and have no idea if this is funny or offensive. If someone I'd offended, let me know, and I'll delete it.!<

Thanks, but I better hurry to keep it up. I'm 78yo. I was an average bilingual for the first 39 in Quebec and spoke, write, and thought exclusively in English for the other 39 in Ontario. I have lost my French and still didn't get the genius of the English language. I'll probably go to hell in the French section, where I'll be 'devilled" for eternity to have let them down. I got this last quoted one from thesaurus.com, from which I will live until the end.
