    Cookie A little slow on the uptake there?

    I was working in the yard last weekend and realized the joke behind Lt. Dangle's name being "Dangle" on <i>Reno 911</i>, 3 or so years after the show first started.

    Have you ever gotten the punchline of a joke or realized some obscure humor long after the initial joke has passed?

    Whenever I re-watch old Simpsons episodes, I "get" a lot of jokes that flew right over my head when I was like 9 years old.

    A little off tangent, but the actors from Reno 911 came to one of my classes last week. That swear quite a bit.

    I watched the episode of Rocko's Modern Life where they go grocery shopping last week and noticed something rather naughty. At one point, Spunky gets attacked by a meat wrapping machine and put out for sale. A giant bull man grabs Spunky and Rocko attempts to change his mind by mentioning various chemicals the meat could contain, such as CFCs, MSG, and even PCP, at which point the bull says "I like PCP." and walks off with the meat.

    Being twenty years old I realize how twisted that is in a kid's cartoon.

    "A little slow on the uptake there?" is my middle name. Yes, even the question mark is in there.

    There was something couple days ago that I realized that I thought was brilliant, that I should have realized like a long time ago, but I forgot what it was. o_O;; Story of my life, eh.

    Oh yeah.

    A lot of the stuff my friends say, too. They talk so fast and stuff I don't always get it right away I just laugh and pray they don't ask me questions and then they're off my back thank god.

    I didn't understand any jokes until Geordi installed an emotion chip to my neural net.
