Jokes: "Most jokes entertain through plays on words, double entendres, the clever alteration of clichés, anecdotes embellishing individual or group stereotypes, or surprise twists to apparently familiar stories...
So it is a rare joke that translates effectively across a linguistic or cultural divide. That is why interpreters generally wince when speakers being to tell one."
Jokes, friendship: "Shared laughter is a step toward friendship."
Justice, charity: "Charity is no substitute for justice withheld." -St. Augustine.
