A bloke from Chigago is cought away from home in a horrific blizzard, that lasts for 2 weeks, and ends up in a hotel for the duration. When the weather forcast finally predicts the end of the storm the guy rings his wife... "Honey, I have missed you so much, these last 2 weeks have been hell for me... lets spend some time in Hawaii to treat ourselves" so they book, unfortunatly they cant get on the same plane and the wife is to follow him out some hours later. He goes from his hotel and gets on the plane, unfortunatly there is a muckup in bookings and although he argues the point he ends up flying another airline. on arival he is blown away by the heat... he makes his way to the hotel where there is a message for him from his wife "flight delayed, ariving tomorrow". the guy goes takes a shower and is about to go for a walk on the beach when he decides to send a fax to his wife telling her all is well. In his haste to get to the beach he accidently dialed the wrong fax # and it landed in the hands of a newly widowed preachers wife, when she read the Fax she let out a scream and fell dead......the fax was as follows.....


Dear wife,
Just now arrived. Argument at the gate and I ended up going to the opposition. You wont believe the heat here honey, told to expect your arrival tommorrow
Love always
your husband

Pretty funny, if not hilarious. Just one tip for telling it a little better, it sounds real funny to hear a story about a "bloak" from Chicago. If he's from Chicago, he's either a "Guy from Chicago" or at the worst he's "This dude from Chicago."

There are simply no "Bloaks" from Chicago. ;-)

Ah, not up with my "Americanese" :)
Over here its "Bloke" or "Fella"

Also, nobody in America 'rings' anybody, they call them.

And 'muckup'. Never heard of that on either. I can get what it means by the context though.

The funny part I thought, is that people are telling jokes with American locations, but they aren't in America. I'm not sure I have ever heard of that either :-)

Just some helpful hints for telling jokes as Americans tell them (not that I want everybody to be like Americans, if that is what you think) :-)

LOL I think it is funny that we speack the same language but totally differantly, ie to "call" someone here can mean to ring them but normally would mean to yell to them..like you would call someone across the street. for the record I think that joke uses american cities because we dont get the extreme weather over here. To say we had an horrific blizzard in Auckland would conjure up images of an inch of snow mabey

That was a great joke!! Got any more?

Unless you have not noticed, there is a semblance of civilised life with different English colloquialisms and slang in the backwaters outside of the USA.

I am sure Americans would have more difficulty (more likely find it impossible) to relate a British, Irish, South African, Australian or New Zealand joke using vernacular peculiar to those locations.

As an English teacher in Japan, I can tell you it is no easy task dilineating between the different vernaculars. Even within the United States you have different words for everything.
I joined a Gaelic (Irish) football team and I dont speak their brand of English! Many times, I must ask (after all have finished laughing) what the hell the joke was.

Good joke, I enjoyed it!
