It just flows.<br />There's an old British series called Keeping Up Appearances with an hilarious main character named Mrs. Bucket (she insists that Bucket is pronounced Boo-Kay)<br />We South Africans are a nation who laugh a lot. No other country laugh at themselves like we do.

At the same time, I agree that we can find humor in our own live experiences and situations, we don't have to take life quite so seriously that nothing amuses us!Josie Two Shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18388032819905416258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2941371995600376751.post-74480545202333434842017-04-14T10:07:54.749-05:002017-04-14T10:07:54.749-05:00I'm with you on the jokes.

I don't know if you'll get the reference but there are a lot of running jokes that tend to get lobbed at Scotland, usually based around diet, such as references to the deep fried Mars Bar, which is meant to be a delicacy here. Basically I don't like anything that is said to get a cheap laugh; I prefer my humour on the more witty and original side.Nick Wilfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03841776353790635132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2941371995600376751.post-617198305782594312017-04-12T06:45:24.013-05:002017-04-12T06:45:24.013-05:00I come from a long line of witty people.
