    It’s a silly joke for little kids of preschool age and it only makes sense if you include the right sound effects. It’s supposed to go like this: Two balloons are floating along, one says to the other: - Hey look a cactussssssssssss! - Where isssssssssss it?

      One that works in English:

      A superconductor came to a bar and ordered a beer. The barman said - I’m not giving you a beer! Get the fuck out of my bar! The superconductor left without any resistance.

        An argon atom walks into a bar. The barman says: “We don’t serve your kind here. get out”. The argon atom doesn’t react.

            Oh hey the German version of this joke is also one that doesn’t translate! “A neutron walks into a bar. The bartender says: Sorry, only invited guests.” In German, “geladen” means both “invited” and “charged”.

      What’s the Czech word that’s being use for the “issss?” Since “cactus” ends with an “s” sound in both English and Czech, the joke might translate directly.

        The second question is Kde ho vidíššššš? Which ends on a sh sound and the last word of the sentence means see, as in Where do you see it?
