Much of Vaschpers posts make no sense to a western mind. Different sense of perception.Usually amusing though.

Well, partially you are right
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_jokes
But this article has wrote by Americans. For example, this joke from it sounds like American joke:

"Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson were going camping. They pitched their tent under the stars and went to sleep. Sometime in the middle of the night Holmes woke Watson up and said: "Watson, look up at the stars, and tell me what you see." Watson replied: "I see millions and millions of stars." Holmes said: "And what do you deduce from that?" Watson replied: "Well, if there are millions of stars, and if even a few of those have planets, it’s quite likely there are some planets like Earth out there. And if there are a few planets like Earth out there, there might also be life." And Holmes said: "Watson, you idiot, it means that somebody stole our tent.""

But really Russians tells it in another way:

"Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson were going camping. In the middle of the night Holmes said: "Watson, look up at the stars, and tell me what do you deduce from that?" Watson replied: "May be it means, that tomorrow it will be a good weather?" Holmes said: "No, Watson, it means that somebody stole our tent."


Americans tend to "chew" their jokes. And, in my opinion, there is no single "Western" sense of humor; French humor is very different from American
