Ha, ha! Very good indeed, Harry! The American and the Englishman were out-wished!

I'm rather isolated here in Yokohama, but I'll keep my eye out for a good American joke for you-- which will more likely include whisky instead of vodka. (The two drinks of course have the same Indo-European root-- the word for water!)

Oh! I missed that one! So Russian women are very frugal, eh? Or is it a comment on the state of the economy?

Haw! That's like:

Husband: 'Make me a sandwich, dear.'
Wife (waving her magic wand): 'OK-- you're a sandwich!'

Lol, that's a new one for me
In russian you would have to use 2 diferent pronouns instead of me (мне and меня) and you also would have to decline the noun (sandwich) in 2 different ways, so in russian your joke would not be funny

this one is cool too (I just read it the other day and it stuck to my mind)

A little ponny walks into the bar, comes up to a cowboy and asks him to order her a drink, to which the cowboy replied:
---Why dont you do it yourself?
---I cant says the ponny in a low voice I'm a little horse

< groan... >

That sort of short, punning joke is called a 'groaner', LS.

What did the mayonnaise say to the refrigerator?
'Close the door-- I'm dressing!'

Lol
Why are they called "groaners"? Because people not laugh but groan at them?

Here's another groaner.

What begins with "t", ends with "t" and is full of "t"? (The answer is written in small print below)

a teapot
