Thanks, Tom. Glad you’re getting a kick out of the show. Your point is made and taken regarding the nature of a good (bad) groaner.

The Brit Historian Philomena Cunk is my authority on Shakespeare. She says Shakespeare had it easy when he went to school because in those days no one had to read Shakespeare.

There is a third category of people. You did a good job describing how Jon is a Specialist and Jerry is a multipotentialite, but you left out my category. We borntoosoonmultipotentialites are those who would have been really good at something which did not exist during their lifetimes? For example, did you know that Shakespeare would have been a great pickle ball player? In my case, I think I would be the world’s best repairer of time machines.

Multipotentialite with bad timing? I feel ya. Sometimes I think I’m like Merlin going backwards in time (from the future).

Another great episode with S11 E27, however the second groaner was so good, I don’t think it is fair to call it a “groaner.” Groaners should be more like this: Q. Do owls care if they get hoarse? A. They don’t give a hoot.
