I think I understand the beginning :
Someone bought some shoes which were too big and he …
Am I right ?

Here’s a Soussi joke ( soussis are the Moroccan version of Scotsmen - meant to be stingy )
kul anu3 l-flus 3rreru bash y3mlu jtima3.
All the kinds of money (different coins) decided to have a meeting.
kulshi ja ila khms centim.
Everybody came, except the 5 centime (the smallest coin, worth very little)
kulshi 7iran, faini ?
Everybody wondered, where is it ?
3lash majatshi ? (note the ‘i’ at the end of the negative - nothern dialect)
Why didn’t it come ?
faja, khms centime majak d qTr bel3rq.
Suddenly, the 5 centime came dripping with sweat.
SaqSauha, " fain t3Tlti ?"
They asked, “What kept you ?” (Where were you delayed)
qalet, " s-soussi 3ad Tqlni."
It said, " The Soussi only just let me go."

“howa ye7tarmo” is tickling my curiosity i wanna know what y7tarmo means.
thanks lise_c great joke hahaa, i got one classic, which is in english:
One day a Soussi’s grocery store was on fire… When they informed him, he gave a missed call (buzz) to the firebrigade
wa7d chra sebbat kbir 3lih w howa y7tarmo
it means :
a guy bought some shoes which were too big then he respected them
(in morocco when we say : flan kbir 3lia … it means he is older than me , and automatically we must respect him , in this case the guy has respected his shoes for bein bigs lol )
LOL i get it i’ve heard this expression before, maybe in turkish
Nice jokes guys, everyone waiting for more…
& following this quote (Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it), a special thanks for Lise cause you made me happy for something in ur joke
Alright…I wanted to share some jokes with you, but most of what I know are about “elsa3ayda” & may some wouldn’t understand them…
So I’m waiting to hear more from you’all
Gretchen, agreed 
Look what I’ve found by chance…a site for moroccan jokes, nokat maghribia
There’s no joke I understood 100% to share. Only the one below with the translation hoping that I understood it correctly: (PS: I’ve read it in arabic so some words or vowels may need to be corrected. Also any wrong translation I’ll be grateful to be corrected too)
Wa7ed tl3 leltobes wchaf w7da jalsa w3ajbato. D7k liha wd7kat leh. Ghamaz liha wghmzat leh. Meshy 3ndha qal liha nzly f elblaka eljaya. Heya nzlet w howa jls fi blasat-ha
(A man/boy rode a bus where he saw a woman/girl sitting and he liked her. He laughed to her and she laughed back to him. He winked to her and she winked back to him. He went to her and told her to get off to the coming/next station. She got off and then he sat in her seat.) yalla ed7ako

A guy went to the Netherlands, and he doesn’t speak Dutch, he only know that good morning is “dakh”. He arrived there at night, and the next morning he woke up very early hanging out in the city, waiting for someone to pass by to tell them “dakh”. A woman passed by and said “dakh” to him first. He got stuck, and didn’t know what to say back, so he said “derdellakh”.
The joke is told that way, but dakh is not correct… there is also another Moroccan joke that contains this word (dakh) as being good morning in Dutch… i think that translating the joke made it lose its funny aspect… its very tricky to translate jokes btw.
nice to meet you too
