(V): I'll be glad to answer that question. But first, where did that question come from? I mean, you posted it in response to something I posted and I'm not seeing a logical connection. I posted a joke.

It was a JOKE.

a JOKE!

A joke is a phrase or a paragraph with a humorous twist. It can be in many different forms, such as a question or short story. To achieve this end, jokes may employ irony, sarcasm, word play and other devices. Jokes may have a punchline that will end the sentence to make it humorous.

A practical joke or prank differs from a spoken one in that the major component of the humour is physical rather than verbal (for example placing salt in the sugar bowl).


Purpose

Jokes are typically for the entertainment of friends and onlookers. The desired response is generally laughter; when this does not happen the joke is said to have "fallen flat" or "bombed". However, jokes have other purposes and functions, common to comedy/humour/satire in general.




So I'm just trying to figure out how you came away with the question when CLEARLY what I posted was ONLY ment to be a joke.

Did you not get it? I can explain further if that will help.
