^^^ So wrong but funny. The red-thumber mustn't have read about your knowledge on the subject.
(Not a joke but relates to japies joke)
I did some work for a church a while back and was commenting on the excessive height of the fence between the church and school (about 5m ht). The priest says (and I swear this is true!)
"It was probably made that high to keep the kids out of the church grounds...or maybe to keep the priests out of the school grounds"
He then added (with a wry smile) "I think it's that height to keep stray balls from going over the fence, which reaffirms my previous comment".
