Squire Thomas was telling me a funny story about Sir Kasimir. You have to understand, Sir Kas is a pretty quiet, laid back serious kind of guy with a dry wit. Anyway, there's a joke which goes:
Two cannibals in the jungle eating a clown. One says to the other, "do you taste something funny?"
There's another joke which goes: Two snowmen in a field. One says to the other, "do you smell carrots?".
Thomas had just told these two jokes in quick succession to Kasimir, and being in a jovial mood, Kasimir wants to pass these along. He turns to some friends and says:
--Two cannibals in the jungle: One turns to the other and says, "do you smell carrots?",
He realises his mistake, and says something like, "I meant, do you taste something funny?"
...and soldiers on with:
--A termite walks into a bar and asks, "where's the bartender?"
At this point the blank stares are getting to Kasimir.
"What did I say carrots again?"
