[silk] Good puns

[Ameya Nagarajan]

Sorry guys I cannot figure out how to reply to a message I receive in the
digest. (Have exited digest mode...)

Madhu, I'm sorry someone hurt you :D

Mark, that is brilliant!

Mohit, alas I'm generally allergic to whatsapp groups, but feel free to
pass good ones on to me :D


Cordially,
Ameya Nagarajan

This may get me tossed of silklist, and is also hard to convey in the written 
form but:

Q. What’s the difference between a lobster and a mahout that has been stepped 
on by his 
own elephant?

A.  No difference,  they are both crushed Asians.


(H/T John A. L. Cooke, former Curator of Spiders at the American Museum of 
Natural History).

(BTW, I firmly believe there is a special place in hell for those who explain 
jokes.  Just don’t do it.)

Hyderabad my home now :-)
I run a whatsapp group dedicated to puns & "mild/stupid jokes" :-)
