A history professor and a psychology professor are sitting outside at a nudist colony

History professor - "Have you read Marx?"

Psychology professor - "Yes, I think it's from the wicker chairs."

Like I said, it's an academics joke... means it's not funny... one of my academic friends told it to me and literally fell off his chair laughing... whereas I got up to make a cup of tea :D

Mr cannedmoose

Somewhat corny but I smiled.

A bit like "where's the soap"?

Tends to be the way re... 'pure' academics (i.e. those who have never worked outside an educational institution) are an invariably odd bunch

About 25,000 so far in this chapter with about 10,000 more to go, then I need to edit it down to about 20,000... worst thing is that you end up writing about 1,000 words a day and end up using about 300...
