I always miss the punchlines.

The services at the church are translated - English to Sotho, or Tsonga, or Zulu or who knows maybe all three at once. BUT there are lot of jokes and they always deliver the punch line in an African language. The church is rocking with laughter and I am clueless. Tonight, the joke involved God and Chuck Norris. But, honestly, I have no idea what was happening.

I would think that mentioning God and Chuck Norris in the same breath would be enough to make anyone laugh without understanding it...so that's something, small, but something.

Chuck Norris fact: "God wanted 10 days to create the universe. Chuck Norris gave him 6."
Can't believe that Chuck Norris is famous enough to be mentioned in a South African religious service. That's just odd.
