What you have linked has absolutely nothing to do with accents or language barriers. All it is is a couple of knock-knock jokes.

:wtf:

I can hardly see anything in relation to accents. It's a 'simple' joke. Not an especially entertaining one, which makes me laugh, but the punch line is at least clear.

That's an interesting perspective, but I think you're underestimating the importance of the silver bells and cockle shells.

WTF,  is it just me or are those quotes out of nowhere? I can't find the post where ZB or Aldo actually mentioned what the other is quoting.

Incidentally, this is most likely an urban legend. I found this joke on Usenet as far back 1999.

I noticed, but I expected a bit less childish debate from you two.

Well, carry on.


Formal language makes fun arguments, BTW.

If we don't refer to the thread becoming spam, it could be saved from lockage.

Considering the debate (if we can call it that) started with "oh, do shut up", there really wasn't anywhere to go but down.

Besides, this has all been much funnier than that lame joke. Aldo just has sand in his vagina this weekend.

I think it all pertains to the subject of the language barrier. Everybody's messing with each other's language...:D

And then, of course, you decided to be all mature about it in your next post. :rolleyes:

Seriously, some people just need to learn to not always have the last ***** and learn to laugh at a ****ing joke. Seriously.
