NW: Surely you jest? This was a quote from the Amos & Andy radio or TV show. It was
not
my English. The dialect adds flavor and rhythm to the humor. I have enjoyed this story
as very amusing for many years. Most jokes come down to about 6-8 types. This one is
based on a basic misinterpretation of what was said. Unfortunately, if one has to take
the time to explain a joke, it usually loses the comedic effect. Additionally, one
learns in first or second grade what a quoatation means. Perhaps a review is in order?
Cheers,
