(45)While most British people don't take these jokes too(46)seriously (serious),foreigners are often puzzled by them.A recent survey found that most foreigners(47)who/that visited Britain found that the British are"arrogant (傲慢的)",unfriendly and have almost no sense of humor.
Do foreigners not understand British humor(48)or are the British just not so funny (49)as they think they are?McKinstry certainly thinks the British are funny."Accusing the British(50)of having no sense of humor is like telling Rolls-Royce that its cars are down-market.
