Make’em Laugh

For this assignment the instructions were to tell a brief joke in a language that is not your native tongue. I have taken a couple semesters of Spanish in school, but am still far from fluent. I hope my Spanish is decipherable! I began by typing “spanish english joke” into Bing. I found the website: http://www.spanishpronto.com/spanishpronto/jokes.html The joke that I choose to tell is:

Un policía detiene a un transeúnte y le dice:
A policeman detains a transient and says to him:
A ver, usted, deme el nombre.
“Let’s see, you, give me your name.”
¡Sí, hombre! ¡Y entonces cómo me llamo?
“Yeah, right! And then what would I call myself?!”

I put police sirens in the background so it would seem like the police man has just stopped someone on the side of the road and left the sirens on. At the end of the joke I added an audience laughing as if I was doing some sort of stand up comedy act. I got all of my sounds from freesound.org and then used soundcloud to record and upload my clip. Hope you enjoy!
