Category: 'English' Jokes These wry jokes, which derive their humor from unexpected twists in the story line, are known for some reason as 'English' jokes ISN’T IT OBVIOUS? During the workweek at lunchtime, a secretary used to frequent the same restaurant, located conveniently near her office. She soon noticed another permanent guest of the establishment, wearing a nice carrot in his left ear. Being an Englishwoman who does not meddle in other people’s affairs, she did not comment on the unusual ear-wear and after finishing her meal went quietly on her way. Then one day, the man came in with a fresh green cucumber in his ear. This time the girl’s curiosity overcame her usual reticence and she turned to the man: “Excuse me for my impertinence, but I could not help noticing that you have a cucumber in your ear.” “I am really sorry,” – replied the man, – “but I just could not get a carrot at the greengrocer’s today.”
