Maybe that's true - what's funny in one culture may go over the heads of audiences somewhere else - but as your example proves, it's not an absolute.

Wish I'...I love the Bugs and Daffy comparison. Wish I'd thought of that - it's perfect.<br /><br />Most fans have their favourite from among the "Road to" pictures. "Bali" might be it for you, but I'd be very surprised if the others didn't give you just as many laughs.<br /><br />A story. When I was a secretary at my last employer we had a student co-op placement. She and her brother were from a Greek immigrant family and one night they watched a Bob Hope movie on TV. Coming from Greece she had no preconceived notion about old guy Hope. She came to work raving about how much she and her brother enjoyed the movie, and wondered if I had any recommendations. She renewed my appreciation for the longtime laugh provider.Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.com
