<Chuckle> Very clever, Mr. Hookom... You "groan", but you also manage to
subtly suggest a pun of your own. Reminds me of something I once heard in a
priestly homily. If I recall correctly it went something like:
"..and I don't want to be hearin' any of you telling jokes or funny stories
about holy things. You know what I mean, ..like the one about the lawyer who
died, and when he got to the Pearly Gates, St. Peter says to him..."
The priest felt compelled to provide something like a dozen examples, to
ensure that his flock understood the gravity of the situation. Sadly, the
congregation seemed to take it all rather lightheartedly; however I did
notice that the collection plate was overflowing that day, so perhaps that
was some compensation for the shepherd.
Cheers!
