The refrigerator landed on him!

It kind of went on forever like that. After they finished, I asked them what they found so funny about these jokes in particular. "Because it's an elephant!" "The refrigerator was from the plane!" Ah yes, of course. haha.

This can only lead me to conclude 1 of 2 things:
1- they don't actually like these jokes, but they laugh because a foreigner said they were funny
or
2- there's a reason there are no Chinese comedians (nice try but Margaret Cho's def Korean)
