bilingual jokes
Oct. 6th, 2005 11:13 amI'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!"

Хоть пьян, хоть в бреду, блин,
Я в Дублин приду, блин,
Дойду, добреду, блин, туда!
Так пойду, найду, блин, дорогу в Дублин,
Пойду, блин, найду, блин, найду, найду!
И прямо в Дублин по ней дойду, блин,
Прибуду, приду, добреду!..
That's a song of bard Aleksandr Karpov, "долгая дорога в Дублин", you can listen to the rest of it here : http://www.bards.ru/archives/author.php?id=1641
