*rimshot*

in school, among my small circle of friends, this kind of humor was considered the finest. quick, topical, you know, clever. some of the best was economical with words, like this one, other times bonus points were awarded for misdirection... I still enjoy this wordplay, but sadly, very few of my current circle "gets it". Certainly for the natural and appropriate reason that they're often just not funny.... but this one (which I regard as quick, clever, 5 out of 10 funny) would have failed to ruffle the hair of any of my day to day aquaintences.

So thanks wolf for validating my little joke. I wish I'd been able to hang out with you in school. would have been a howl.
