Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about
1. Kenya
The Joke: Your family is so stupid, you give your chickens hot water so they can lay boiled eggs.
Why It's Funny: Mchongoano is a type of joke found in Sheng, a language that originated in Nairobi. Mchongoano is used in dissing battles, comparable to “your mom” slams in the United States.
2. Egypt
The Joke: Q: How do you entertain a bored pharaoh?
A: You sail a boatload of young women dressed only in fishing nets down the Nile and urge the pharaoh to go catch a fish.
Why It's Funny: Well, it’s not, really, but some sources identify it as one of the oldest jokes in the world.
3. Uruguay
The Joke: A girl asks an Argentine man for a light. He pats his trousers, chest, and back pockets.
“Sorry,” he says. “I don’t have one, but wow, do I have a great body or what?”
Why It's Funny: Argentine men have a reputation for excessive vanity among their fellow South Americans. No one enjoys poking fun at them quite like the neighboring Uruguayans.
4. Bulgaria
The Joke: A Gabrovonian has to mend his door, so he sends his son to the neighbor’s to borrow a hatchet. The child returns empty-handed; the neighbor had lied about not having a hatchet.
“Don’t bother about that miser,” says the father indignantly. “Bring our hatchet up from the cellar.”
Why It's Funny: The city of Gabrovo is a self-declared international comedy capital where the residents are notoriously thrifty.
5. Germany
The Joke: Q: How do you turn a Trabant into a sports car?
A: Put sneakers in the glove compartment!
Why It's Funny: The Trabant was the best-selling car in the former East Germany. The ride is a punchline for its cheapness, due in no small part to its grossly underpowered engine and plastic body.
I hope you liked this post and as always have a chilled day from the Viking.
