"A straw man argument is a distorted (and weaker) version of another person's argument that can easily be refuted (e.g., when a teacher proposes that the class spend more time on math exercises, a parent complains that the teacher doesn't care about reading and writing)."  I.e. you argue what the other person hasn't even said rather than argue against what they actually said.

😊. thanks Mr Bush. This one reminds me of the scene in the very first Beverly hillbillies episode, where Jed was trying to decide if he wanted to leave the hills of Tennessee and move to Beverly Hills in California.

Mr. Clampett:
Can I afford a place like that?

Mr. Brewster:
Mr. Clampett, with your money, you can afford the Taj Mahal !

Mr. Clampett :
OK! I?ll take it!

Mr. Brewster :
Oh now, Mr. Clampett, I was just making a joke.

Mr. Clampett sincerely answers:
OK,;  go ahead .

:grin:

I liked the straw man joke. Great "dad" humor. How about ..


Three logicians walk into a bar.
The bartender asks "Do all of you want a beer?"

The first one says, "I don't know."
Second one says, "I don't know."
Third one happily says, "YES !"

A pun, a play on words, and a limerick walk into a bar. No joke.

We need jokes because we live in this world. If this was happening anywhere else, it would be a joke.
