    I know you are joking. but let's not confuse slapstick and humor.

    An example of humor that does not translate.
    A Rabi and a priest walk in a bar.
    The bartender looks at them and says, "Hey what's this? some kind of a joke? "

    I am missing the wonderful jokes about the previous guy...

    That was so humorous, we could laugh the whole days and 4 years. Now, no humorous jokes (or any...) It's a bore...

    What's the idea that somebody has to be with a party unless he can have a opinion...

    (I never have been with any party. Is it so that the party (or the current govt) will tell you what's humorous and what's not?)

    You might be hilarious in whatever language it is you're native to but in English you're a painfully unfunny contrarian and point missing spambot.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Just out of interest BB, what language are you fluent in?

    Were you brought up in Greece?

    I frequently tell this joke to Arabs (well the ones that drink) and they find it hilarious without exception:

    Mohammed gets home from school and excitedly tells his dad that he got a gold star from his teacher. His dad asks him how.

    He says "Well the teacher asked Johnny to give the numbers from one to ten, and he could only get to four, so I put my hand up and said them all up to ten so I got a gold star".

    His dad says "That is because he is an infidel and you are a muslim".

    The next day the kid is even more excited. "Dad, Dad, I got another gold star!".

    "What for?" says Dad.

    "Well the teacher asked Johnny if he could read the letters from A to Z, and he could only get to M, so I put my hand up and read them all and I got a another gold star!".

    Again Dad says "That is because he is an infidel and you are a muslim".

    On the third day Mohammed comes home looking pensive. His Dad asks him "What's wrong?".

    He said "Well today I was in the toilet and Johnny came in, and his willy was only little and my willy is big. Is that because he's an infidel and I am a muslim"?

    His dad says "No son, it's because he's nine and you're 26".

    Just out of interest, in how many languages are you funny? Beside the native one that makes a laughing stock of yourself...
