Hi. I read a joke in english but could not get the point. Who can explain?
A: Mississippi is a long word; Can you spell it?
B: It's M I S S I S S I P P I.
A: Wrong, that's I-T.
Thanks.
It, the word, is spelled i t.
It's all about semantics.
Mississippi is a long word.
Can you spell it?
Yes. It is spelled I-T.
What about Mississippi?
What about it?
Can you spell it?
I already did.
No. Can you spell Mississippi?
Heck, no.
Thank you. It was cute. I couldn't stop smiling for minutes!
Really?
I'll have to try that joke on Joe Nation some time.
Hey, I meant your reply, gustavratzenhofer, not Joe's. Moreover, what does it mean "trying the joke on somebody"? You used it above.
Yeah. What do you mean by that?
Stumble It!
