A good joke is honest.
I find things funniest when they are unexpected, blunt and have a strong element of truth.
The Beginning of Life
A Catholic priest, a Protestant priest and a Rabbi are arguing about the beginning of life.
The Catholic priest says, “Life begins at conception!”
The Protestant priest says, “No, no! Life begins at birth!”
The Rabbi looks at his colleagues in wonder and says, “Are you kidding? Life begins when the kids move out of the house and the dog dies.”
Lost in Translation
As a mother of young children, I can definitely see the truth in that joke.
But it’s a rare joke that transcends cultural and linguistic barriers. The joke above would probably not seem all that funny to my family in Spain. While some of the jokes they tell are completely lost on me.
And that got me thinking…
About Monty Python
Because Monty Python is funny in whatever language. Am I right? Of course I’m right.
