Answers:
it's just not funny, sorry!!
This is more representative of our humour:

2 nuns in a bath
1st nun says 'where's the soap!?'
2nd nun says 'it does rather, doesn't it!?!'Www@Enter-QA@Com

I think the jist of the joke is that an Englishman is so easily pleased and uneducated that a joke told as a child will keep him occupied his whole life!.

It doesn't really work because there is no stereotype of English people being less educated than any others!. Traditionally these types of jokes are told about the Irish in the UK and Poles in the US, although no longer considered funny or relevant!. I would imagine someone has taken an old Irish/Pole joke and replaced with English as it is more politically correct to do so!. Www@Enter-QA@Com

Here is a funnier joke!.

An American comes over to England, to stay with his cousin, and asks his cousin to show him some of the top English things!.

First he takes him to tower bridge in London,
The American says, "call that a bridge, back in the US of A, I got a bigga bridge than that over my pond"

Next he takes the American to Wembley Stadium,
The American says "call that a stadium, back in the US of A I got a play area for my kids bigga than that"!.

English man thinks for a minute and hands the American a potato!.
American says "call that a potato, back in the US of A we got potatoes the size of pumpkins"

English man turns round and says
"Yeah but you need them bigger to fit your F****** mouths"Www@Enter-QA@Com

Steriotyping!.!.!. goes a long way in jokes!. Blondes, Poles, English, Americans, Irish, Sardarjis, Mexicans!.!. anyone is made fun of!.
The people who said obnoxious things above would really enjoy the joke if it was told with another 'nationality' or 'race'!.

Ok, the second nun joke is obvious, 'wears the soap!?'Www@Enter-QA@Com

I could understand the joke if the subject had been American, but not English!. English people have the sharpest wit in the world and are the quickest to understand a joke!. Americans, on the other hand, usually need jokes explained to them!. They don't understand subtle humour either!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I'm english and get it!.!.

Its implying we english have really crap minds, so wouldn't understand the joke until we we're old!.!.!.

As patriotic as i am, i can still have a laugh, even at Englands' expense!.!.!. that jokes not even funny :(Www@Enter-QA@Com

Pip pip!
Who's there!?
Cheerios
Cheerios who!?
Aren't you glad it's a cereal!?

By the way I'm English and I used some of England's stereotype sayings!.

Your joke is ok, it made me smile but not laugh, I don't get the nun joke!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Well, I don't get it but I'm not English or a man!. I am American and guess what!? I don't own a gun!. A bit of British bitterness on here today!. I thought the Cheerios was cute though!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Erm maybe he's a bit slow so when you tell him the joke while he is young, he wont get it and then he'll finally understand it when he's old- therefore keeping him happy in his old ageWww@Enter-QA@Com

If you change the " Where's The Soap " to " Wears The Soap " and use your imagination, you will understand the joke!.

I think it means that it will take him that long to get the joke you told him!.
