I only have basic medical knowledge, I can do some decent stitches... patch a head wound, maybe. Nothing that advanced. [ why waste time teaching a mere cargo pilot anything that could be useful, beyond only basic things? ]

What is it?

"What did the fish say when it swam into the wall"..."dam"?

[9S narrows his eyes at the page.]

That's stupid. Fish don't talk.

[ Bodhi to his credit, keeps a straight face throughout the joke but it's the reaction that has him chuckling. sorry, 9S, he couldn't help it - and had hoped you'd find the book amusing as he did.

maybe not, though. ]

Well, yeah. But it's a joke, see.

[twoaffirmations]

I thought jokes were supposed to be funny.

[9S is a tough crowd, but despite not finding the joke funny he couldn't help reading on.]

Looks like there's more in here, let's see...

"What do you get when you combine a rhetorical question and a joke?" ...Huh? There's no punchline here!

[onlydoubts]

[ Bodhi shakes his head at the second joke.. ]

That's because it is the punchline. A rhetorical question is one that there's no answer to, you know?

...Oh! [He can't believe he missed it.] Heh, that one's kind of funny.
