I've begun leading an English conversation group at the American Information Center here in Ekaterinburg. Next meeting we are going to talk about humor, and it's been suggested I take some examples of bilingual jokes. Unfortunately, I don't know a lot of them. If anybody knows any, I would appreciate some help!

Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

A Russian tourist in London has decided he wants to see more of the UK. He goes to the bus station and at the ticket window says, "Two tickets to Dublin." The cashier, also a recent Russian immigrant, replies, "Куда, блин?" And the tourist says, "Туда, блин!"

Because it is not bilingual. The question was about Russian-English bilingual jokes.
