      Yes. A little more subtle, perhaps.

        'A mate of mine told me he was shagging his girlfriend and her twin.
        I said, "How can you tell them apart?"
        He said, "Her brother's got a moustache."
        That joke wouldn't work in French (and other languages) because the first line would have to reveal the twin's gender ... et sa [sœur] jumelle / et son [frère] jumeau. That's English exceptionalism for you!

          Surely "sa jumelle" could still be the one with the distinguishing moustache cliching the punch line?

            I would describe this joke as more 'poubelle' than 'jumelle'.

              A good comment on the BBC News site:

              Thousands of tubes of Pringles were burnt to a crisp when a lorry caught fire on the M1 motorway.



              (Not sure if there's a more appropriate thread, but this one will do!)
