I never said it wasn't, I said I didn't understand English humor. Probably will never fully get it either.

The English invented humour, but back then it was simply known as “being very silly”.

What is "English at all? (Anglo-Saxon mixed with celtic and piktish and of course a bit of Roman and some Jewish influence?)

There is humour in the Old Testament and I presume also in other ancient writings.

And I take a coffee, thank you.

A prime example of a German not “getting it”.
