Situation:
What happened?
Sabine posted the joke about what heaven and hell would be like depending on which people from certain European nationalities had certain jobs. 

Expectations:
What did you expect (if anything)?
I don't think I had many expectations about it, except that I hoped I would understand the humor behind it and felt like I did.

Interpretation:
How did you make sense of it?
I suppose I saw it as though Sabine didn't mean any harm
by it to anyone, but was just trying to share something to make us
smile.

Response:
What did you do in response, and what was the result of that?
I smiled and chuckled because I thought it was funny. I had heard it before and laughed then too.

Questions:
What do you wonder about other(s) motivations/feelings/thoughts etc?

Because humor is very contextualized as well as culturally influenced, I think humor is a difficult thing to predict in cross-cultural situations and I wondered how funny the joke was to other people.

Was it offensive at all to anyone?

Was it funny to each of you (yes or no) and why? What makes things funny or not funny?

In particular I wonder for Temtim (and maybe Diego and Minjuan - although they have traveled more) - if the joke made sense enough to be funny?

And for everyone - how do you think humor is different where you come from in comparison to other places you have visited or interacted with in some way?
