This is embarrassing, but I'm afraid I don't understand the joke.

Don't worry, it wasn't a very good joke anyway!keithdalby wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2018 8:13 pmThis is embarrassing, but I'm afraid I don't understand the joke.
A dissertation is the paper written by a PhD candidate. Your three-year-old must be brilliant if she can get a PhD (or if she can use RPN)
I'm known for my bad jokes. When my wife read that Monday is MLK day in the USA (Martin Luther King Day) she though it said MILK. I told her on MILK day we had to listen to a speech called "I have a CREAM" instead of the speech Dr. King actually gave: "I have a DREAM"

Re: RPN is child's play
This I know, having written one for my Master's degree and part of one for my (as yet unfinished) PhD, but there are too many unconnected dots for me to understand the joke. There's no wordplay or ironic humour. Now the MLK joke works as a joke - if it weren't so insensitivetoml_12953 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 3:12 amA dissertation is the paper written by a PhD candidate.keithdalby wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2018 8:13 pmThis is embarrassing, but I'm afraid I don't understand the joke.
At the universities where I've studied, we call it a PhD thesis. Sure it's the same thing though. But... in all honesty, RPN isn't difficult at all, so I just couldn't understand the joke.

Re: RPN is child's play
Hi Keith!
I like that, given she's not just only playing with it
But if she uses RPN, which is nevertheless a little bit different than things are teached normaly, she might also do other things from a different approach.
Thumbs up!

And, generally speaking, jokes which must be explained aren't the right ones for the respective audience.

Thank you! At last there's someone who appreciates good humor or at least my humor!Leechpool wrote: ↑Tue Jan 16, 2018 1:03 pmYou are being too hard on Tomi_12953; I got the joke and think it's quite a good one! loltoml_12953 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2018 7:35 pmI know.
