We just took the freshly baked joke of the day out of the laugh oven, and it’s ready to be served. This one’s entitled “Getting A Word In.”
A sociologist on an African jungle expedition was passionately taking pictures of native children at play. Suddenly, the youngsters began to yell. Feeling awkward and suddenly remembering that some Indigenous groups believe a person could lose their soul if their picture was taken, the sociologist sincerely apologized to the chief for her insensitivity. She then wholeheartedly explained how cameras work and patiently shared as much detail as she could. Several times, the chief tried to get a word in but couldn’t. When she was certain everything that could be said had been said, she finally stopped and flashed a proud smile. Smiling back, the chief remarked:
“Actually, the kids were just trying to tell you that you forgot to take the lens cap off!”
