Aussie sense of humour compared to US

[happyroo_bunji]

I post regularly on a predominately US populated forum, and I found that I seem to stick my foot in it when it comes to humour.  For example I posted about the "suppository" gaffe.  I found it funny because of the mistaken use of the word, I could see myself doing the same and lastly because of who said it.

Well, I was told its not funny at all, shouldn't make fun of someone because of what they say etc.

SO my question is, do you think Americans have a different sense of humour?

Well today was interesting...... There were about three people I wanted to **bleep** slap.  A tiny bit of background info, this board I'm talking about is to do with sleep apena.

One person was sooking that although they woke up feeling refreshed and not tired after six hours, they wanted to sleep at least 7 1/2 hours.

Another one was literally crying (said so in her post) because she had a sleep test and found she had apnea.  She was acting like it was cancer and the end of her life.

The third one was just being a rude p***k. How I wish I could say what I really wanted to him!  The americans were being far too polite to him.

Looks like I'll have to institue a self imposed holiday on that site

My husband has actually lived longer in Australia than in Canada....has been here 40 years now.  But he is still a "foreigner"...and his American and Canadian relatives now consider him a "foreigner" too.

His parents were born in the UK so the boys grew up in Canada with very proper English parents and grandparents.  I believe it made for some interesting family gatherings at times.
