Humor is a very personal thing. However, if you want to know the language and culture, you need to know and understand the jokes, even if you don't like them :-) I've seen a few words in your blog that I'd like to comment on, and I'll try to do it ASAP. I hope you'll find the comments useful. Yep, I agree that Spanish humor may not suit all tastes. Humor is a very personal thing.

Thanks! I read you every day, but don't always comment. I don't always have something to say, but this word - traje - I think I'll get a lot of mileage out of it. Hmmm. How would I say THAT (a lot of mileage) in Spanish? Very useful word! Thanks!

Personalmente, no me gusta todo del humor español. A veces, es demasiado diferente del humor holandés ;-). Si tienes una recomendación para la palabra del día; mándame un mensaje.

Here's the first one: En España hay otro tipo de "traje" que se usa coloquialmente, el "traje de pino" que, como habrás imaginado no es otra cosa que un ataúd. Así, de alguien a quien le queda poco tiempo de vida se puede decir: "A ése le están preparando el traje de pino". Eso sí, recuerda que es coloquial y humorístico (aunque de un humor bastante negro), nunca lo uses para referirte a alguien conocido o podrías meterte en un lío :-) Hi,
