    hello, I live and work in paris and because I am lazy my French is not getting any better and my English is starting to come out garbled! I have a joke in English that makes me curl up laughing (it's strange but it doesn't seem to have the same efect on others) The problem is I find it totally impossible to translate in to French. So, please I am looking for a translator or an Englishman (oh heck, go for it Elizabeth, or Englishwoman) to laugh at my joke. Yes yes I can see the pity in your eyes "this is one expat who has been here far too long. Extra details you don't need; I write, cry laugh, winge, walk, take photos but I never ever...
    Thanks.
    ps the joke is very funny.
    pps the thing that isn't funny is just how many years ago I first heard it!

    Hiya,
    Let's put it here (if it's readable ;-)) and we'll see what we can do...

    There was a man waiting for the bus. He had three heads, no arms and only one leg. Eventually the bus arrived and the conducter said,
    "Hello, hello, hello. You look 'armless enough, hop on."
    Yes I know that perhaps it is possible to translate it in to French but nobody ever laughs! Please don't tell me that you don't even find it remotely funny in English.
    Hopping on one leg for your verdict.

    Well... The problem is that there is no joke in French with arm and harm, so it's not really possible to translate... that's the reason why French people do not laugh...
    But they've got play on words as well in French, just ask them.

    (I hope you did not wait too long on 1 leg?)
