It's just different. American humor is so sarcastic...almost to the point where that's all it is, so it's refreshing to see humor that's more fun than sarcastic.
Stanky,
congrats on the job!!! Don't let any reptiles loose. And don't let anyone catch you in the back of the store taking a nap on one of those over-sized dog beds. Those things are huge!! I fell victim to buying one this weekend at costco and I have a 12lb chihuahua. Dang it!
