Those are funny,

the dog one reminded of a response to an Airedale chatroom, someone had asked if Airedales are tough... someone responded "they're not tough at all if you marinate them for 24 hours before slow cooking them", It's the responses to that response that were hysterically funny, there were people who got really offended to a reference about eating Airedales. People had to tell them come on people it was a joke.

A true story regarding this subject.
Many years ago when my wife's English usage was still quite primitive I told her by phone that we would go to the Theater and out for dinner and that we would have fun. Total silence! Soon after, I found out that in her language, "to have fun" meant "to make fun" of people. She thought I was twisted and it took 2 weeks to negotiate my way out of that one. To this day , while driving, and she says turn left, I still need ask "this left?" or "the left on the right".

I remember the friendly jibes between myself and the jarheads on my ship. I gave them hell, but they gave as good as they got.
How many jar heads does it take to change a lite bulb?
Just one. But you have to screw him in real tight. 😁

I remember the night my friend and I in the Air Force had relieved two Army Rangers who had completed jump school near Barksdale of a couple of hundred bucks and drinks for hours shooting doubles pool. It devolved into insults and talk of kicking butts, I can give it as good as it gets. On the way out to the parking lot my friend whispered "we are going to get our butts kicked", I said I know. We get out there, and I'm squaring up with the bigger one but they were both big, and I start laughing, my guy almost hit me, and asked what was so frigging funny? I said here we are, we are on the same side, and we should be friends, but here we are getting ready to kick each other's butts, my guy starts laughing, and my friend and the other guy were looking at each other with a WTF look of disbelief, but my friend started laughing too, and so did the other ranger...we went back in and finished off the drinks we had lined up from wins. My friend and I laughed about how close a call that was every time we thought of it, which was a lot.
