drink water while in the ocean.

Laughing about life:How the British joke with each other
British people have their own sense of humor.
British people are quite cheeky(厚脸皮的).They.like to make fun of themselves and laugh at
just about anything.They'll make fun of each other,lightly insulting (one another and
then laughing about it.For example,if your friend trips over you and says"Enjoy your trip?"we
call this kind of joking between friends,"banter".
British people love being sarcastic when you say one thing but mean another.Like if
your friend has got a bad haircut and you say,"Wow,that's the best haircut I've ever seen."
when you both know it's really bad.Similar to this is the understatement,like saying"It's a bit
windy"when there's a huge storm outside.
They also love their embarrassing situations.The British can be quite embarrassing people,
not knowing what to say in social situations or saying the wrong thing to the wrong people,or
just being a bit weird in public.Mr Bean making a fool of himself in front of people is
a good example.
Another thing they love doing is being"deadpan".This is when you say funny things with a
serious face as if they're not a joke.
So,the next time you meet a British person and don't understand their humor,don't worry,it's
very understandable.
Dad's hair comes back
Teacher:When your father sees this report,his hair will go all gray!
Johnny:Nice!That will make him very happy.He's been bald (for years.
Ask a stupid question
Sam:Do you know how to make a stupid person curious(好奇的)?
Thomas:No,how?
Sam:I'll tell you tomorrow.
