Japanese Curry Joke

Curry and rice is a very popular dish in Japan usually made from a mix. Here's a famous joke about it:

A Japanese couple decide to invite their Indian friend over for dinner. Hoping to impress, the wife makes curry and rice. At dinner, the wife anxiously asks,

"How is it?"
"Delicious.", the Indian man says, "What is it?"

A Shogi Merry Christmas

When my wife and I turned on the TV on Christmas morning, we couldn't stop laughing at the shogi guys dressed up like Santa.

So no Tori!

This is my samui Japanese joke:

A-san: Asoko no tori desu ka? あそこの鳥ですか?(Do you mean that bird?)
B-san: So no Tori!その通り!(exactly!)

so no tori "exactly" sounds the same as "that bird."
