I guess it just isn't for you? :P I'd compare it to programmer jokes, but I honestly thought Schrödinger's Cat was the bit requiring the most specialist knowledge.

[up] Yay!

I think the problem with your joke is not anything to do with Schrodinger's Cat's concept and specialization involved...but rather, that ocelot is not a commonly used word.

I had no problem with it. That's the thing about puns — not every one is going to get every one.

If I said, "I enjoyed my vacation in Paris, but the breakfasts were kind of skimpy — they only ever gave me one egg, instead of two. When I asked why I couldn't have two eggs, the waiter said "One egg is une oeuf.", only people who speak some French will get it. That doesn't make it a failure.

So I told the other day, I told my mom to stop egging my little, brother to join the orchestra club in his high school, because honestly, it's going to take more than that. Thanksfully, she listened to my advice.

Now she throws chicken at him.

Speaking of chicken, one of my friends in college asked me to write a poem about chicken. Alas, I never took any course in poultry.

EDIT: Oops, double post.

That is one of the things they say about a chicken crossing the road - that it is poultry in motion.

I tried writing some poultry when I was little, but I chickened out of it, because I felt I didn't have the poetential.

I was once asked to make a chicken dinner. I didn't know what to make, so I just winged it.

How do you call someone who made themselves a bike out of scrap metal?

An upcyclist.

A recyclist would fix an old bike. An upcyclist would build one from scratch.
