The Danger of Reading (continued)

The other day my coworkers and I were talking about the upcoming company picnic and I was telling them that the attire should not be shorts because our boss has such pathetically white skinny toothpick legs.

I didn’t notice that he had come up behind me until he asked, “Do you think that’s funny?”

If I was reading Aristotle, I might have said:
Humor is the only test of gravity, and gravity of humor; for a subject which will not bear raillery is suspicious, and a jest which will not bear serious examination is false wit.

Instead I said, "No Sir!"
