ok, its a french joke... in english (for the most part).

a guy walks into a resturant. He orders up a good glass of wine. The waiter gives him the wine. A fly flies in the resturant, and lands on his glass. He calls the waiter, and says "Moinsur (sp...), il y a un mouche sur mon verre"
The waiter looks down and says
"UNE Mouche"
the man looks at him
"Vous avez des bonne yeux" (You have good eyes)

If you dont speak french, then i can try to explain it to you

True, that happened with the German jokes as well. Every noun has a "gender" that didn't translate into English. But some of them just didn't make sense bcuz they contained some kind of German saying that didn't mean anything in English.

there are somethings in other languages you can do, without doing it in one language...
that makes no sence. My joke, doesnt work in english, because the article (The, a An) they dont distinguish between male and female. Thats why it doesnt work in english. Think about it

My parents used to tell me jokes in German, but whenever I tried telling them to my friends in English, they kinda lost something and I just felt like a jerk. Oh, well. They should learn German dammit!!!

Yeah that can be kind of funny. It might also work in German. I know they they use masculine and feminine nouns. And "The"'s are dependent on the gender of the noun. (16 ways to say the word The.) I don't remember how it applies to "A or An" though.

Bubu is right... the joke sucks in english, and is ok to a frenchman (quebequer! (sp))

ok, one line at a time...

a guy walks into a resturant. (i hope you know this)
He orders up a good glass of wine. (most popular drink)
The waiter gives him the wine. (simple...)
A fly flies in the resturant, and lands on his glass. (you get the point)
He calls the waiter, and says
"Moinsur (sp...), il y a un mouche sur mon verre" (ok, here is the main part. Moinseur = mister, there is a fly on my glass)
The waiter looks down and says
"UNE Mouche" (a fly (feminin)
the man looks at him
"Vous avez des bonne yeux" (You have good eyes)


Ok, here is the joke to all you non french speaking people. When the fly landed on the guys glass he called the waiter. he said there is a fly (in the masculin form of the word) on my glass. the waiter looks down and says a fly (stressed the feminin use). The guy says to the waiter "you have good eyes", suggesting he could see if the fly was male or female. The waiter saw the fly, and was correcting his grammer, because the word for fly (mouche) is feminin, so he used the wrong article to indicate that (he used the male article UN, instead of the female article UNE)
Does that help?

You'll have to explain it because I don't speak french, and it doesn't seem that funny. Which isn't surprising since the French consider Jerry Lewis to be a comic genius.
