(Copied that one from a link I posted on the "onion-with-a-hair-in-the-soup" topic.)
At a live performance Chinese audiences do not usually react or clap, except in the case of a particularly famous performer or much-loved piece. But if an actor makes a mistake or something goes wrong with the scenery, everyone laughs uproariously.
One of their much-loved comic characters is Afanti, a man of the minority Uighur people.
One day Afanti goes to his landlord and asks to borrow a wok as he has guests coming and his own one is not big enough to cook all the food in. The landlord says yes, and a few days later Afanti returns bringing two woks, the original and a tiny one. "While I had it in my care your wok gave birth to this little one, so I am returning that as well", he says. The landlord gleefully accepts the simpleton's offering. Some time later Afanti again comes and asks if he can borrow the landlord's biggest wok and of course is told yes. Many days go by and eventually Afanti returns empty handed and sad of face. "Alas, your poor wok!" he laments, "It died." "What nonesense, everyone knows that woks can't die." "If they can give birth they can surely die," says Afanti, and calmly walks away.

Dunno Lydia. My turn to not get it.
Allow me to try another one:
Did you know the Belgian Ministry of Transport has introduced a new sign?
It reads "End of Roundabout".

Movie "Old School": Will Ferrel casually shoots himself in the neck with a tranqiliser gun. It totally cracked me up.
From the local audience: I witnessed gasps of horror, absolute shock and sympathy... (Including the wife)

Sorry WS, that first one is about as funny as a fart in an elevator.

you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward,
for there you have been and there you long to return...."

"living with Lydia" I think is a Singaporean show. WTF is that all about? Avoid it if you can see it coming. Unless you are looking to drain your will to live in 5 min worth of viewing...
