I guess more than jokes, what about riddles?

Are there any good lojban riddles?  I know they are not as popular as
they once were.

Respectfully,

Humor is generally culture specific. I know that at my house, things
that have us rolling on the floor would mean nothing to most people.

So, if you want to tell an English joke, use English (note that
Americans might or might not find it funny and vice-versa).
