Naff joke, or language barrier? Help!!!!!
OK - here it is. Feedback required. Here is a joke. The question is: does anyone, anywhere, get this joke? You dont have to find it funny (hey, if I'm telling the joke, the quality is, by definition, dubious..) Just tell me whether you understand what the joke is. I'm 0 for 3 on Canadians i've tried this joke on. 3 people still trying to work out why i even think its a joke, and one person wondering whether insanity has finally set in...
2 nuns in a bath.
1st nun: 'where's the soap?'
2nd nun: 'yeah it does, doesnt it?'
Please help! My long term stay in Canada, if it happens, may depend on the belief that I am not speaking a completely different language here! Not to mention my hosts' patience with me...

I don't get it!
Not to be crude, but...
If the joke is referring to masturbation, then I get it.
But it is not funny, and speaks to a basic lack of understanding of the female masturbatory process.
If it is about something else then I do not get it.
Thanks not_anonymous - when CBC was further trying to clarify the joke after he told it to me, the word he left out was "down", whereas I was thinking "wear" as in, wearing a sweater (which didn't make much sense) - not "wear" as in how your tires wear. I get it now! I am just not sure if it is us Canadians that are thick or the english sense of humour.
I've just freaked myself out.
When I just read you were having trouble with a joke I immediately thought of the two nuns in a bath joke.
Imagine my surpise....
It too me years to get it too. Not sure it was worth the wait.
The joke about the grasshopper is cute! But Matt...you are right, the joke telling does get you into trouble.
Is the nun thing an Irish joke? Maybe that was the problem, you crazy Irishman.
Do you realize that last night, when I asked about you being Irish, your face got all red? Fun stuff!
As a Canadian...and as from "Fortune's Canadian World"...
Ha ha ha....
Yo, eh buddy think about it eh? How's the Habs's doing in hockey followed by - eh? man you go for poutine where eh?.....
