The good thing about being on an 11-day cruise is that you get to tell jokes at dinner, provided your dining companions are not Jews, Protestants, or Baptists. This is because:
Jews do not recognise Jesus;
Protestants do not recognise the Pope;
Baptists do not recognise each other in the liqour store.
During the cruise, I was reading a book on philosophy and jokes, essentially how they can actually explain each other. The book's two authors gave a further twist to the familiar joke above. This is their corollary:
If you go fishing with a Baptist, he will drink up all the beer;
If you go fishing with two Baptists, you get to drink up all the beer.
Was the book "Plato and a platypus walk into a bar"?
