How many of you love your husbands? ha ha ha..

I did see that you were joking but I have to admit - subtle jokes often elude me, my dear friend - my strict Dutch Reformed background is too telling!  But I am learning! ...

"But I am learning! ..."

I think that we are all learning, I do think that we will ever stop learning.......which is probably a good thing.........and as the WT Study, a couple of weeks ago, said that one of things we should have is a sense of humour, (remember the smiley face?).........my problem is sometimes my sense of humour is a little too "warped"...........particularly for those whose second language may English..........add to that I am Australian, and some Australian humour can be difficult for others to comprehend sometimes.

My husband's mother was British and he has a very sharp sense of humor and he picks up humor from other countries very quickly - I am a bit slow - especially when it comes to things that rhyme with English words (my first language not English) like cockney jokes. But I do appreciate a good laugh (when I understand it).

Where I am from the smiley face means sadness, so I was very confused and sad

Goodonyamate, or just, 'onyamate ...........which means loosely translated "that's really good my friend!"

 this was similar to the smiley face that was in the WT Study (only it was a red/brownish colour).......that said, a Christian should have a sense of humour.

I was shocked the first time a Brit called me a "mate".   I thought they only refer to men in this way - and he also just meant my friend!   Now you are reiterating the same lesson....onyamate!  .....

JW insider?  Where are you from?  Just curious.....

@Bible Speaks  I  love  my  husband,  but  without  your  "hahaha"    what  is  wrong ?

[John Lindsay Barltrop]

Sister Arauna..............or it could be G'day cobber..........although the word cobber (or mate) is not used as much as it was years ago.

My husband knew this one too!
