I am mortified that anyone in the Garden should feel my sense of humor is hard to detect. I offer the following, in the hope that it will lighten someone's day.

From "Margot Asquith, An Autobiography", speaking of Raymond Asquith

One day when he was at home for his holidays and we were all

having tea together, to amuse the children I began asking riddles.

I told them that I had only guessed one in my life, but it had

taken me three days. They asked me what it was, and I said:

"What is it that God has never seen, that kings see seldom and

that we see every day?"

Raymond instantly answered:

"A joke."

I felt that the real answer, which was "an equal," was very tepid

after this.

:wah:

Good joke, Spot. But don't be mortified. As long as you can laugh at yourself, it doesn't matter who else does. :D

Awww...poor Spot. Spot, we like you, we really do! But sometimes you are soooo serious that we begin to wonder if you really do have a sense of humor. Well, you obviously do! :D (It's hard to tell sometimes, though, since you are amazingly intelligent and your vocabulary is beyond some of us.)

Here's a couple of "Spot Jokes" for you:

See Dick work.

See Jane work.

See Spot watching Dick and Jane work.

Spot is no dope.

See the Wall.

See Spot run at the wall.

See Spot jump over the wall.

Spot has defected!:D
