    Stop crying and just tell the joke anyways. Better to lose a good friend than to lose a good (but aged) nub.

      I recently stood near with two distinguished professors of architecture who were talking about a colleague obsessed with replacing concrete with a material derived from a fungus.

      They were about to move on with their conversation.

      I rudely interrupted, apologised for my brain, and explained their colleague had a point, because concrete structures were less roomy than fungus ones…

      … because there’s not mushroom.

      They regarded me as one may look at a developmentally challenged toddler.

      No regrets here though.
