A Little Humor

The following is a joke I heard over and over and over on my vacation:

Me: terima kasih (thank you)
Indonesian: Osama-sama Bin Laden

(hysterical laughter)

The first premise of the joke is that “sama-sama” means “you’re welcome.” The second is apparently that Osama Bin Laden is a funny name. I would like to say I found it offensive, but that lame joke repeatedly followed by laughter was enough to make me join in every time
