The difference between telling a funny joke and being funny is whether you ask if they are koalified to make such distinctions.

My friend and I once met a koala holding a little plaquard saying "Bear X-ing" and an arrow pointing to herself. My friend said "She's not a bear!" and I replied that he should look again at ursine.

Ursine means bear, and sounds like "her sign"

It is good for me that you were here to explain, and it was also good of the person to whom you were responding to ask so that I didn't have to embarrass myself by doing so.

Since I have added nothing to this conversation, I'll leave with this.
