Dear Respondents

There was a complaint that there was no "humour" in my posting so I give
you a
universal joke below that you may apply how you will. Incidentally it
was not to impress or shock but to suggest that it is the
individual that gives power to words and empowers the one that wishes to
hurt. Our children's verse is true
"Sticks and and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me."
Are there other Lowland versions?

The joke:

"Have you heard about the ........... who was so stupid that even the
others noticed?"

Edwin Deady
