Well, the only reason I say you won't understand is because you won't get the context of the jokes made, you'll have to know where I live, the backdrop of events going on in my country/state (this depends purely on the types of jokes I make). It's not that I think you're dumb or anything.
Those corny style jokes just don't get me.

American English has kept the Anglo-French spelling for defense and offense, which are usually defence and offence in British English; similarly there are the American pretense and British pretence; but derivatives such as defensive, offensive, and pretension are always thus spelled in both systems.
