So I was out at dinner the other night with some work friends and one of them made some small joke at my expense. I reacted and defended my decision or whatever it was that he was mocking, and he told me to take it easy since he was "just taking the piss out of me". Basically an Aussie way to poking fun at someone. He then went on to say that he has noticed in the American's he knows that none of us can take a joke, and all defend our decision or something. Note sure I agree with his assessment, but I have found myself taking the bait when people make jokes lately. So who knows. Maybe he has a point.
