What's So Funny?
This joke relies on the mismatch of intentions. When the bartender asks his question, his focus (and surprise) is on seeing a DOG ordering martinis. When the dog answers, its focus is on the terribly high PRICES of the drinks. Humor often relies on switching expectations between the beginning of the joke and the punchline.
Feel Like You Belong is a sometimes serious, sometimes funny, always “touch-your-heart” real conversation about fitting into the American culture. It introduces guests who have made the immigrant journey to the United States. The stories–of both struggle and success–will help newcomers feel more confident in sharing their opinions and expertise, more likely to want to stay in the U.S., be more productive in their jobs, and fully invest in their communities.
