British (Anglo-Saxon?) humour. Since you said "humor", Curt, presumably
Anglo-Saxon, not specifically British.
Sorry Gian Uberto Lauri, this is an international list, but it is also an
English speaking one. Native speakers will occasionally stray into humour
which is not obvious to all nationalities.
They have nothing strong to share, except a knowledge of English idiom and
expression.
