Yes. (Edit: Just read the other thread. Now I get it!) How about this joke, which is as old as I am. It's from the days of the 'Music Hall' where people sang and told jokes on stage. The joke would be told as a conversation between two people, and would start "I say, I say, I say" which signalled a joke:

"I say, I say, I say" - I have a dog with no nose!

No nose? How does he smell?

Terrible !

Los chistes te despejarán. Tienes que leer algo aburrido.

Perikles, I understand the joke . But I didn't understand "I say, I say,...".

It has no mind so it cannot think. It has no physical body but yet it moves swiftly. It has no physical appearance and therefore cannot be seen. It is not a king or someone in high authority and yet men follow its whims. Man needs it for everything he does. Man will not exist without it. What is it? And please translate it in Spanish. Thank you.

No tiene mente, por lo que no puede pensar. No tiene apariencia física, aunque se mueve con rapidez. No es un rey ni nadie con gran autoridad y, sin embargo, los hombres siguen (¿obedecen?) sus caprichos. El hombre lo necesita para todo lo que hace. El hombre no existiría sin él/ello. ¿Qué es? Y, por favor, que alguien me lo traduzca al español. Gracias.

No sé. ¿El aire?

It is just a formulaic expression (without meaning) with the message "Here comes a joke" from the days when a joke needed to be announced.

Do you mean that the jokes don't need to be anounced? We say: ¡Eh! ¡Me han contado un chiste más bueno...!

Por cierto, otro:

¿Qué le dice un lobo a una loba?
I love you.

@Irmamar, thank you for translating the riddle. Your guess is close but it is not the answer. Another clue: People are always anxious to know what it is even though they know what it is and what it does.
