Joke Once upon a time, in a nice little forest, there lived an orphaned >bunny and an orphaned snake. > > By a surprising coincidence, both were blind from birth. One day, the >bunny was hopping through the forest, and the snake was slithering >through the forest, when the bunny tripped over the snake and fell down. >This, of course, knocked the snake about quite a bit. > > "Oh, my," said the bunny, "I'm terribly sorry. I didn't mean to hurt >you. I've been blind since birth, so I can't see where I'm going. In >fact, since I'm also an orphan, I don't even know what I am." > > It's quite ok," replied the snake. "Actually, my story is as yours. >I too have been blind since birth, and also never knew my mother. Tell >you what, maybe I could slither all over you, and work out what you are >so at least you'll have that going for you." > > "Oh, that would be wonderful" replied the bunny. > > So the snake slithered all over the bunny, and said, "Well, you're >covered with soft fur, you have really long ears, your nose twitches, >and you have a soft cottony tail. I'd say that you must be a bunny >rabbit." > > "Oh, thank you, thank you," cried the bunny, in obvious excitement. >The bunny suggested to the snake, "Maybe I could feel you all over >with my paw, and help you the same way that you've helped me." > > So the bunny felt the snake all over, and remarked, "Well, you're >smooth and slippery, and you have a forked tongue, no backbone and no >balls. I'd say you must be a mackem >
