Many years ago I was told that there was a joke in German that translates "Why is Canada called Canada? Because there is no-one there." Apparently the German word for Canada (Kanada) sounds like the word for empty or unoccupied. However I don't know what the word is, or the actual translation. Because online translators need the actual word and have no lists to go through I can't find it. Anyone know? |

I didn't realise the Germans had two jokes – I thought "road hog" – "hedge hog" was the only one…. ;-) |

There is a actually a third joke. Two German immigrants meet in Central Park. "Spring in the air," says the first one. "Why?" asks the other one. |

Then there's the time when my Great Uncle Staciewz decided to celebrate his arrival in the US with a night on the town. Asked some locals for advice on hot night spots and then spent all night in a warehouse wondering where all the painted ladies were. |

Henning Wehn has plenty of jokes. But he only became a comedian after moving to Britain…. link |
