First, in Albanian:

Q: Pse është një peshë e bari si një mouse?

A: Sepse kafshët hanë atë

And now, rendered unto English (because I know some of you use that language):

Q: Why is a load of hay like a mouse?

A: Because the cattle eat it


The above ordering was used on the advice of my colleague Victor "Every One's A Gem" Nicholas, who is an authority on Albanian stand-up comedy and has written a monograph entitled "Uncle Joe The Prankster: The Practical Jokes of Stalin".

I admit my Albanian is a bit rusty, but I thought it said:

Q. Why do writers on The Spoof love the mouse?

A. Because they like to have something in their hand.

Which reminds me of the ten most funniest things Hasni Mubarak ever did.

Good to see you appreciate irony. I'd hate to think I was wasting my time here.
