I wonder how many heads it will go over, I thought it was funny, just like the first one (which I did last year somewhere)

My apologies, I thought it was international, I have seen them around the world during my travels although sure it is of of British origin.

Aha! I guess I should have gotten it especially with this clue! We do have those here theyæ±*e just not very common. But thatç—´ no excuse.
Happy holidays to all.🍻

I never would have gotten it. I have never seen those striped candies, let alone know what they are called...and I still can't see how it connects to a sheep...Oh,...Well, I do now, but I didn't at first. I guess that goes in the same category as the joke about the plastic surgeon who hung himself...:rolleyes:

Thank you. I had never heard of a humbug. I *finally* figured out the significance of the sheep. Cute!

It is like any other "shared experience" type of joke. I am sure in the countries where that candy called a "humbug" is common the majority of the people there had no trouble putting 2 and 2 together to get the joke. We do it all the time, and I enjoy making jokes from movie lines and other shared experiences. But the joke falls flat when we don't have those shared experiences. We are very close to our other english speaking friends on other continents, but there are a few things we just don't understand. And a few things about our culture they just don't get. What is amazing is just how close we actually are and how similar our lives and experiences come together.

Merry Christmas to all.
