Definitely sounds like the kind of joke I'd like if I understood it.
- omegaham 1y agoA more obvious setup to the joke is "Is there a doctor on this plane???" "Well yes, but I defended my thesis in comparative literature..."
- rkomorn 1y agoUgh. Of course. That makes a lot of sense. Didn't come anywhere close to getting it on my own though!
- linsomniac 1y agoRight, but what makes it work for me is that you have to bring the setup to the table. I think The Far Side is similar in a lot of its humor.
