The Jailhouse

[AKvetch]

Mr. Houston, kudos for an excellent post. You have done excellent research, and provided new versions of the Tates story for the enjoyment of the thread. I would not, of course, your good fortune in responding to a story that CHURAK had not posted on iHub.

Inasmuch as you have said you thought the Jailhouse was turning into a civil place, I am slightly confused, however, by your comment:

...in the spirit of feeding both the punnary and the appetite for plagiarism.

It would seem that you are baiting Churak. For example, in the last link of your post, more that half the jokes are ones that I have posted to the thread. Since I make no claim to have written them, this creates no problem for me (rather, there are so many duplicates, why bother telling you, since I'd have to provide links to all of them). But back to Churak -- he is of the opinion that if he posts a joke on iHub, it and all its variants may not be posted on iHub unless there is a disclaimer in the post recognizing the works Churak has posted here. From your reading of this thread I thought you would know that by now.

For your sake, I hope Churak doesn't give you a hard time about several jokes within the "Get Thee to a Punnery" list nor the variants of the Porpoise and the Grass House story, and the identical "Knick-knack" story. He has a penchant for using a certain word, that amazingly, he cannot see as applying to himself.

Thanks again for the good post.

AK

p.s. If this thread is becoming too civil, it's only because Sheriff Matt has not been dutiful in making arrests. Perhaps you can stop by the KKD and get Matt out of there before he becomes a Hutt*.
