intermediateOver the next few days I am going to share some jokes with you. Understanding jokes in another language can be very difficult. Usually jokes use both the language and the culture to tell a funny story.

Here is the first one…

JOKE 1

My wife sat down on the couch next to me as I was flipping channels.

I said, “Dust.” And then the fight started…
