Did you ever hear of the flea joke? Vivien Send a noteboard - 02/02/2012 03:23:06 AM
It's an exam about animals.

Teacher: picks a card- Dog.
Student: Well a dog is a 4 legged animal covered in fur. Because of the fur, the dog will usually have fleas. And fleas are these tiny little creatures [he goes on and on about fleas, very detailed and accurate]

Teacher: picks another card- Fox.
Same deal- the student identifies the fur as an important characeristic and goes on and on about fleas.

This goes on for a couple more rounds.

Teacher: looks through all the cards, smiles widely when he finds the one he was looking for, and says: FISH.
Student: :( Unfortunately, fish have scales, so they do not have fur... But if they did have fur, THEY WOULD HAVE FLEAS!

I was wondering if you'd have to include Sholokhov there Larry - 26/01/2012 05:15:48 PM 835 Views
I think it's probably safe to conclude from that list... Legolas - 26/01/2012 08:15:35 PM 835 Views
Considering his first 20... Larry - 26/01/2012 09:30:10 PM 801 Views
Oh, nevermind, I'd overlooked his plays there on the 16th position. Ignore what I said. Legolas - 26/01/2012 09:42:03 PM 795 Views
You were absolutely 100% correct, though. Tom - 26/01/2012 11:29:50 PM 716 Views
It was more in chronological order, rather than in terms of quality Tom - 26/01/2012 11:35:10 PM 2684 Views
Ah Larry - 26/01/2012 11:48:25 PM 758 Views
It was that obvious? *NM* Tom - 26/01/2012 11:29:06 PM 304 Views
Apparently not for me Larry - 26/01/2012 11:34:29 PM 776 Views

Zamyatin? *NM* rebelaessedai - 30/01/2012 10:17:29 AM 368 Views
What did you want to ask about Zamyatin? *NM* Tom - 31/01/2012 08:38:31 PM 340 Views
I suspect she, like me, read a little too fast and wrongly thought she'd found an omission. *NM* Legolas - 02/02/2012 06:42:22 PM 345 Views
Shit, did I miss it? rebelaessedai - 03/02/2012 09:07:24 AM 844 Views
