Silence, for a time.aethereal_girl:So, you were going to tell me about something else that was funny.dhole: A-ha-HA!
Laughter.aethereal_girl: Now that was funny.dhole: Yeah, that one wins.aethereal_girl: It was a meta-joke -- one whose humor is based on the very idea of funny. A high modernist joke.dhole: Like if Ezra Pound sat on a whoopee cushion.</span>
