You haven't driven me off. I'm out in the Atlantic in another time zone. I found it great fun.

OK, while Kal is checking if he's circumcised, let me inform you, he's not laughing at his own jokes. He only makes others laugh.

What kind of person laughs at his own jokes? Kal is smart, I assure you!

Faina, both my father (did) & I (do) laugh at our own jokes. Say what you want about my cerebral capacity, but my pappy was always the smartest guy in the room. The funniest, too, even when he was dying.

Sorry, didn't mean to hurt you!

I can still see my father laughing really hard at his own jokes. With good reason too - he was funny (and I was his biggest fan.) I always seem to think I'm more amusing than my family thinks I am.

Nah, Faina, not to worry. Dad was much thicker-skinned than I, and I'm sure he'd have found the question amusing.

Anyway, what I really meant to say is this:

Question "Who laughs at their own jokes?"

Answer: "People who enjoy themselves."

Which would be my dad. And Suki's dad. And Suki and me.

I'll swear on a stack of Bibles that my Dad, while under Hospice care, had a small grin on his face while he reached up his hand with his pointer finger sticking out wanting me to pull it.....2 hrs later he died.
A comedian to the end.
