It took me a while but I figured it out..LOL

Never saw any humor in Chomsky’s politics that were rammed down our undergrad throats. Needless to say, my Anthro 101 professor sported a greying ponytail.

@Lewreader, I agree with u about Chomsky’s politics.Is the joke about “Satyr Day” or “Turd Day”?

Pretty sure the key word is “turd.” It doesn’t require changes in spelling.

i wonder how he learned how to read . . .

Once you notice it’s saTURDay you can’t not see it.

Funniest if you’re 12. Or Beavis.

By the time you’re old enough to understand this joke you’re probably too old to find it funny.

Are they saying that Chomsky was a cunning linguist?

GES Who, do you think they meant country matters?

Until well after I got my degree in linguistics, I was completely unaware of Chomsky’s political activism. I only knew him as the leading figure in my field.

@Runar. Linguistics fascinate me. Can you tell me which language(s) is(are) intermediate between the Centum and the Sadem languages of the Indo-European family?

There has to be an intermediate language(s) – I don’t think the 2 branches just broke off from each other

Manslaughter = Man’s laughter… if you’re Hannibal Lector

Saturday could be the “funniest” because it holds three words: sat, turd, and day
