I’ve read over that a dozen times now, and I still have no idea what the joke is supposed to be. You’ve come up with the “colorless green ideas sleep furiously” of humor.

> [@Itself](#): > > I’ve read over that a dozen times now, and I still have no idea what the joke is supposed to be. You’ve come up with the “colorless green ideas sleep furiously” of humor. Congratulations, I guess. It was back in 1976 in St Petersburg, Flordia when I saw a man with a five hundred dollar resturant check pay with a credit card and leave no tip on the card. The party in question was reminded that he should’ve tipped at least %15 wtih a waiter coming over to the table and acting like he was going to pour a cup of coffee, but he tripped instead. It was quite shocking and on purpose 🙂 ---
