Make ‘Em Laugh was a wee bit challenging, considering I don’t really know any languages other than Spanish and English. Trying to pronounciate words I wasn’t familiar with was so difficult. I chose to do a joke in Italian. I chose this joke because I’ve always wanted to learn italian and what better way to start than by learning silly jokes? I’m sure we are all familiar with the saying “If the mountain will not come to Muhammad, then Muhammad must go to the mountain.” This is a saying that I grew up hearing. To me it means that not everything will come when I want it, but I have to go out and work hard to get to where I want to be.
Italian Joke:
Se la montagna viene da te e tu non sei Maometto…
Corri, perchè è una frana!
English Translation:
If the mountain comes to you and you’re not Muhammad …
Run, because it’s a landslide!
I do wish I didn’t sound so monotone when telling the joke, but I felt like that was impossible for me because I was trying so hard to pronounce correctly. Once I’ll learn Italian I might be able to do it with a better flow.
Worth 2 stars
