Joke

[chileno]

Voy a tratar de explicar el chusco.
La uva morada le preguntó a la uva verde, «Oye, cuando vas a madurar»
La uva verde le contestó, «Termine de sollozar (en inglés sollozar es whine
y whine es un homónimo para wine y wine significa vino en inglés.
La uva verde se enfadó/puso enfadada cuando la uva morada (dejó de cumplir una apuesta)en ingles se puede decir
welch on a bet. El chiste es que, no se si en Mexico es igual, Welsh es una marca de jugo de uva
La uva morada le dijo a la verde,"no me exprimes tanto por el dinero"(put the squeeze on es un dicho que significa
presionar alguien para consiguir una cosa). Tambien se puede put the squeeze on una uva para obtener jugo.

In addition to trying to explain the puns, this is also an excercise in correct Spanish usage. Please advise me of errors.
Thanks.


Exactly right. :) (minor corrections)

Don't worry Poli. I can understand your joke.

Good luck for the next joke.

I would like to add to Angelica's post........


one louse........more than one = lice
one mouse......more than one = mice

house.......houses (:thinking:)

Wouldn't it be nice if ....

one spouse........more than one = spice (:p)(:whistling:)

Not sleeping can cause damage to your brain!

Burning the midnight oil, again! :sleeping::coffeebreak:

It's not very clear your joke man.:thinking:

[chileno]

It's not very clear your joke man.:thinking: You used the term "se pasó" in another post of yours.

I will explain if someone else does not get it either. :-)

Ca'mao :wicked: Also: (Does anybody understand this Ca'mao thingy?)

[Vikingo]

I got the joke, but not ca'mao :)

EDIT: unless it's "come on..."

[Rusty]

My immediate thought was that ca'mao could be calmado. It is sometimes pronounced just as Chileno wrote it.

If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarium (sp?) eat?

:lol:

They should definitely be added to the whole listing... and the last one would be nice indeed. :lol:

A friend of mine sent me this about English language:

I recognize it! It's from a website. I forgot what the website was, though. do you know it??

[Rusty]

Jessica, many websites contain lists such as this. Do a search on any one of the sentences and you'll find them. Here's one in PDF (http://copper.chem.ucla.edu/~jericks/Funny%20or%20Interesting/Word%20Play/Alternate%20Pronunciations.pdf) format.

[Jessica]

oh ok but I remember the first time I saw them it was a certain one, but oh well

That's is with a Cuban accent.

In Chile it would be pronounced calmao :D

[Rusty]

In Chile it would be pronounced calmao :DYeah, this is how I've learned it.

[chileno]

Yeah, this is how I've learned it.

Like an Andalú ...

I went to a Spanish board and got The Matrix as told by a "gaditano" and that one the only thing I can think of is by a Gaetano? Maybe Bolborosa oo Sosia can shed some light. :-)

If anybody is interested I can send it in a PM, as it is very long. :-)

[CrOtALiTo]

You used the term "se pasó" in another post of yours.

Oh yeah, now I can understand you with your joke, but I believe that you sounded as a costeñito.:D

I have other joke.

Cual es el colmo de un peine.?

Que se le caigan los dientes:D

That was funny.

Apropósito. Busqué en google la palabra gaditano, y resulta que es el gentilicio de Cádiz, en Andalucía, ni ma' ni meno' :wicked:

[CrOtALiTo]

I don't know anything about that word.
