How can you judge if you cannot speak the language? Or understand the culture? For example, could you realistically compare Munich and Glascow?
I would have to say that just about any city in Minnesota had the best sense of humor. Just look at what they have for a govenor!!

I agree with Al up to a point, we can't understand the humor of a country without understanding the language. having said that , I find the English( and that includes Scots and Welsh, to have the driest , slyest, wittiest, whimsical , wicked sense of humor of ANYONE. Sorry that includes Americans, on whom the subtlities are often wasted.

Well, they're all "British" (the UK includes Britain & N. Ireland), but they're not all necessarily thrilled about that, either. Safest is to say "English, Scottish, and Welsh people," if indeed you do want to view them as all on a par, which in itself could be debatable!

Our Scottish host at the Ardsheal House, a fine and proper highlander decked out in kilt and sporran, happened to be walking by, while his lovely wife was telling us how he had undergone hip surgery while in China several years ago. He patted himself on the right buttock and said, "Yes, I've got 'Made in China' stamped on my left cheek." I loved that place and those people. They made me laugh and they made me cry.

If the amount of laughter in a city is any indication, it has to be Naples, where the inhabitants are overall the happiest I've ever seen. (Not saying they are the happiest, just that their outward appearance is of ones who are very happy with their lives.) But I agree with London, so dry it can be sardonic. Love to laugh in London (or anyplace in the UK, for that matter).

Lisa: Thanks for mentioning the Irish - dark humour, for sure! My Father used to say that only the Irish and the Russians (he was very fond of Russian literature) share the same "funerial" humour!
For me, the people with the best sense of humour (from those Islands West of the continent of Europe, with whom I share a commen language (being totally politicaly correct))are the Liverpudlians.
