You've made me a little bit braver for not taking offense . I would like to ask a question....actually anyone who knows the answer could help me out here....I cannot seem to fathom the Australian sense of humour. Besides Dame Edna (who as far as I'm concerned is hilarious because "she" has more of a British sense of humour) I don't seem to really catch on when I'm in a group of Aussies and they laugh. To my ignorant mind, it appears that they are laughing at nothing....just for the sake of laughing. Am I blind/missing something or will I eventually click? An Aussie asked me what I considered to be was funny and I answered "The Simpsons" and she said, "nah, we don't find American humour funny. That's too slap stick". I was going huh??? I love American humour!! To me that's not slap stick. But we were having an honest conversation so I told her that sometimes the Aussie sense of humour seems very lame. She answered that that is the whole point. I asked if they are laughing at the actual lame joke, or the fact that someone dared to be lame. She didn't really give me an answer....she just said it'd take me a few years to get it. Boo hoo, I don't wanna wait a few years!! I want to understand and be NORMAL, lol. I also find Monty Python to be hilarious...Borat too. Tell me April, what do YOU find funny? And to anyone else reading this, please shine some light on this subject...anything at all...I am curious what you think and feel.
