Joke: Why did he die with smiling face?

lovelysnow · Post by **lovelysnow** » Mon, 12 Dec 2011 4:53 am

There are 3 dead bodies with smiling faces at a morgue. The morgue's manager is answering to a detective about why did these peoples die.
- This is Celtus. He DIED right after he knew that he won a 20 milions dollars lottery.
- This is Bo. He DIED after the court told him that they will let him divorce his wife without sharing his riches to her.
The manager walks towards the last dead body:
- And this is Tom. He DIED because of thunderbolt.
The Detective says:
- I can understand why the first 2 men dead with smiling faces. But I can't understand why did the last man smile.
- Ah, he THOUGHT SOMEONE WAS TAKING PHOTO OF HIM BUT IN FACT IT WAS THE LIGHTNING STRIKE

I am sorry if this story has some mistakes. I really did try my best to translate it from Vietnamese.
Thanks for reading. Thanks for Manager's help

Thunderbolt looks like flash, so Tom thought it was flash from camera...so he smiled because he thought someone took photo of him. That is why he dead with smiling face

I get it. I'm sorry, however, but I don't find it funny.

Oops (Rick Perry apologetic face).

A man walks into a pub and sits down next to a man with a dog at his feet. "Does your dog bite?"

"No."

A few minutes later the dog takes a huge chunk out of his leg.

"I thought you said your dog didn't bite!" the man says indignantly.

"That's not my dog."

I don't know what was the original post. Only saw MS's and, eventually, the edited version.

Yeah I get the joke but after reading the thread, I guess the humour got lost in translation.

Poor thing...

Wow-

Yes I do drink coffee but this morning I saw a piece of my paper sugar packet floating around in it.

I have a Hungarian friend who loves to tell translated jokes. It's funny to experience the different flavours of humour in different cultures. Here's an example:

Poor little Tamas had no arms. One day his mom was baking cookies, and they smelled delicious. Tamas asked "Mama, can I please have a cookie?" She said, "Yes Tamas, they're on the counter." He said "But mama, I can't reach them, I have no arms!" She replied "Sorry Tamas, no arms, no cookies!"
