    German:

    1. Joke: “Hi” is spoke like “Hai” German for shark. So when two divers meet and one says hi, the other thinks, where is the shark??

    2. Joke: “to meet” is translated in german as treffen. Treffen can also the mean to hit. So the joke goes from a freindly meet up between hunters to both of them hitting eachother while on the hunt and dying.

      What did the sand say to the shark? Hihi

      What did the shark say to the sand? Hi sand
