The humor flew right over my head. Care to explain?

  I'm beginning to doubt if there was any humor there in the first place. > When in Rome, do as the Romans do. I mean if it had been a French city I could say that a pun about French Spacing is there in the joke. But Rome isn't a French city. So still very confused if and what the joke is.

  My apology for a slow response, but I took the phrase 'when in Rome...' to be a reference to the scripto continua style seen on Roman monuments. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scriptio_continua https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scriptio_continua
