Irrelevant badinage and like nonsense

The remainder of this post, and the following few, came from Gould Campbell, RIP...?. — jdaw1

He has a beard, patches on the elbows of his jacket and teaches art - what more evidence is required? :shock:

A title is a title, and I would like to thank my parents, my wife, and all those who have made me what I am for helping me achieve this accolade. {wipes tear from the corner of his eye} Thank you all.

And you are not the first to miss it. I believe the eugenecists fell prey to the same misreading.

I apologise for being so busy this week, and away from my computer for so much of the time, that I missed this extremely witty display of badinage. You are both wrong, about something or other.

My wife married Mr Right. I married Mrs Always Right - although I might have to confirm that.

Is it wise to have this conversation where your wives and vindictive ex-mistresses can see it together?
