    handler(message)

Hi Luis, thanks for flagging this.

What's the exact phrase you used for "tell me a joke"?
Just wondering why it went searching for a Chuck Norris joke in particular.

If jokes are unavailable in a language we should be handling that exception and either saying so, or taking the english version and attempting an automated translation.

It's literally Spanish for 'tell me a joke'.
No more, no less. (trying to be precise, not rude.)

Now that you say that... I did not notice the 'chuck' word in the log. Just tried that same phrase now and worked perfect. It's weird because that's the only logged mention and as you can see, it's not in the utterance log...

Thanks for your help!

Nevermind...
pyjokes.pyjokes.CategoryNotFoundError: No such category chuck in language es ^--- NEWEST ---^

Same phrase, 'tell me a joke'

The skill randomized a category for that query so some sort of handling needs to be added if the language doesn't support all categories
