FOWC:Gullible

“Hey you know they’ve taken gullible out of the English and French Dictionary?”

“Really?”

“No you mentalist”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s a joke.”

“Really? why’s that funny?”

“Well it just is. It’s like this one”

“Which one?”

“This one… this…alright, my dog’s got no nose.”

“So what”

“So what? You have to ask me how it smells”

“Why?”

“Why? Because it’s a joke, thats why.”

“Well, what’s so funny about that?’

“You haven’t asked the question, so it won’t be funny unless you do.”

“What’s the question?”

“How does it smell?”

“Well, I don’t know, do you wash your dog?”

“Fuck off, that’s not it. You have to ask me how it smells.”

“OK, how does it smell?”

“It’s got a machine on its neck.”

“What?”

“To help it to smell, it’s like an artificial nose, the dog is deficient in the smelling department.”

“How is that funny? Poor dog”

“I just thought the obvious answer, “bloody terrible” was in itself bloody terrible and so I invented this answer, the machine thing”

“Well I don’t think it’s funny at all, I think its stupid”

“Maybe you’re right. Has your dog got a machine on its neck?”

“Don’t be ridiculous, I’ve never seen a dog with anything other than a collar on its neck, it’s a hypothetical question, this whole thing makes no sense at all.”

“Mmm, you’re probably right, see you tomorrow”
