      But then the joke that fox is telling wouldn’t make sense

        It still is funny but in a slightly darker way.

    gekkering

    I didn’t even question that this is the verb a fox would use to laugh with.

      Fun fact: I almost embarrassed myself and wrote “geckering”, but my wife corrected me at the last second.

      Geckering is how monkeys laugh. Foxes gekker.

        And here I thought my English was pretty good, and I thought you just made this up!

          There’s also an audio file for gekkering but that’s the pronunciation for the word, not the actual example…

    I translated the joke

    A fox walked into a tavern and said, ‘I can’t see a thing. I’ll open this one’."
