I learned a life lesson dealing with a French Quebecer for work. I thought he was something of an ass. It took a number of years, but I finally figured out he was actually a nice guy, trying to be funny. Cultural differences/perceptions. He might well have been quite the cutup in his.

Jokes do not translate worth shit, especially when they are a play on words.
An Englishman is trying to convey an expression to a Russian, He does not speak Russin so he tells a Frenchman who also speaks German and he conveys it to a German who speaks Russian.
The Englishman says "The sprit is willing but the flesh is weak"
The Russian understands "The meat is rotten but there is plenty of Vodka."
