In my sermon yesterday I quoted Rene Descartes' famous line, "I think, therefore I am". Then I went on to tell the following joke I heard on Terry Wogan last week.
Descartes is in a bar and has had a few drinks when he says he's going home. The barman says, "One for the road, Rene?" to which Rene replies, "I think not," and then disappears.
It took a few moments for some to get the joke and I even noticed someone explaining it to the person next to them! What interests me is, given that the Descartes' quote was not given as a preamble to the joke on Radio 2, how many listeners got the joke?
