But have you ever been able to tell a knock-knock joke successfully to someone who speaks another language? Just like translating any other joke... does it convey?
I tried telling my mom (Argentine) a knock-knock joke once... Knock-knock What's there?/ Si? No, Knock-knock Que te tengo q decir??? KNOCK-KNOCK Who's there? (por finnnnnnn!) Orange. Un que?! It was hilarious. Jokes really are the most difficult... |
