Tell a joke or a story from your culture that is funny. You may have to explain the humor so those of us who are not from your culture can understand it. You could also describe a funny TV show or movie and why you think it is funny. Everyone has their own sense of humor, and a lot of times this is part of our cultural identity.
This entry will be due midnight Monday, April 14th. No entries accepted after Friday the 18th! Have fun!

The little story I'm going to tell about is usually narated in my country in the news papers. This story is about missing class:Toto, a kid,who didn't want to go to school called his professor and said:
- Hi,Toto is suffering from and illness and he won't go to school today.
And the professor replied:
- Who's calling?
-This is my mom; said Toto.
(laugh...)
This is a little story but I think It's funny due to Toto answer. In fact, Toto said to the professor: this is my mom! If it was Toto's mom the ringer, she would probably say: this is Toto's mom. Therefore the professor can doubt because someone wanted to imitate Toto's mom.
The story that i am going to tell is about the definition of the politics.
One evening, in front of the TV, a child asks his dad: “Dad
explain to me what is the politics
The dad Answer “It is very simple, my son. I will give you one
example. Let us take the case of our family:
* It is me the dad who brings money; I am the CAPITALIST.
* Your mom manages this money; thus it is the GOVERNMENT.
* Your grandfather checks if all is going well; thus it is the PARLIAMENT.
* Our made constitutes WORKING CLASS
*you, you are the PEOPLE.
*Your little brother that is still sleeping, is the FUTURE. “
The child listened very well!
The night fall, each one is gone to the bed. The child in the sleep, hears
his little brother to cry. In fact, the little brother urinated.
What to make? he wonders.
Very anxious, the child goes in room of the made, and curiously, he finds his dad in the bed of the made.
Upset, the child will see the grandfather in his room, which
satisfy to observe.
Disappointed at the same time, the child is going to lay down again, letting the little brother crying.
The following day, proudly the dad asks the child “Then my son, did you reflect and understood what is the politics?”
The child answers “Yes dad, your definition was clear: capitalism benefits from
the Class worker, while the Government sleeps, and the Parliament looks without anything to say. Nobody don’t take care of what the People think, and the Future is in the shit."
I let you appreciate!!!
Toto is one of the major caracters used as a bad students to tell jockes and funny stories .so one day in his history class,they had to study for a oral questoin/answer quiz.Toto did not study until the next morning.the teacher started asking questions to all his clasmates who responded correctly.then comes the turn of Toto,the teacher asked:
-in history,what happenned in 1842
Toto said :
-in 1842 i wasn`t born yet.
everybody started laughthing,even the teacher could not help with a laugh because Toto did not study and was trying to avoid all the questions he was being asked.
Toto sounds like a funny character! In the U.S. we often tell "blonde" jokes that make fun of blonde girls for being airheads (stupid). This sounds similar to your Toto jokes. Maybe you can tell some more in class on Weds.
Della, I have heard your joke before in English - this must be a popular joke to be in different cultures! I think it is funny and you did a good job of telling it - it is a hard one to do in your second language.

In dream, if you saw a dragon, you have to buy a lottery ticket because usually Korea poeple consider lucky it. But if you saw a dog in your dream, they they think a very unhappy.
A few days ago, I dreamed. In the dream I saw a dragon. Very big and the color is gold. The dragon fly up for the sky. So I thought that "It's lucky" for the dream.
But suddenly a huge dog came up in front of the dragon and the dog bit the dragon. Oh my god, "Dog."
Even though It was just dream, I got a flu at that time.

This is very famous Turkish figure history from Nasreddin Hodja.
