The British (and Irish) are famous for their sense of humour.
Many jokes are difficult to understand because they tend to have misdirection and double meanings. In order to undertsand the joke you need to understand both meanings. And whilst it one of the meanings translate the other probably won’t, but this isn’t the case for all jokes.
