Version 1:
Their jokes SUCK. It’s always the same silly “jokes”, sent by juvenile “n’importes” who regurgitate the same dumb jokes week after week, and the editor is not even awake when he receives and publishes them: anyway who reads them? Maybe it’s the centre of attention of the same oxymorons who sent them in the first place…

Version 2:
It’s you. The joke you published is way too intelligent for you. You will laugh only when the subject is intellectual enough, with unlikely word games in-built in the “joke” (like: what is that thing which has four wheels and flies? Answer: a garbage truck).

Man, you must relax, keep cool, faut de tout (vraiment TOUT) pour faire un monde… Week-End Scope used to be my reference in mauritian culture: news about everything, insightful, and plenty of inspiration for a youngster like me in the 90’s. But then, it changed a lot: not even an editor’s column now. Anyway, it’s still way better than the ethnocentric 5-plus, snobbish/euro-centric l’express or pretentiously arriere-garde like Mauritius Times, and way too sober/overcritical as Le Mauricien / Week-End…

Bien à vous
