I am not sure anyone can claim "this is the original" -- but the way I
always heard it was, "some people just can't tell a joke."
And while this is one of my favorite jokes, I can't image anyone who
has not heard it. Its been posted on FFL a number of times. I heard it
first perhaps 40 years ago. Perhaps its new to Turq. Regardless,
perhaps we can number it. "99". So we don't have to keep reading it.
We can just laugh.
