We're doing a unit on humor and culture in my Swedish class right now, and one of the exercises was a list of jokes (all translated into swedish, of course) that were found to be "funniest" by certain countries-- apparently a scientist actually did a study on it. This was the Belgian joke, which I laughed way too long over. The only other one that even made me chuckle was the German one. I wonder how much my sense of humor was affected by the fact that I spent a chunk of my high school years in Germany and not in the U.S.?

I like those.
This one is my favorite:
A guy walks into a bar.
He says, "Ouch!"
