Indeed, punctuation in the thread title is of paramount importance. Without the comma, there is no 'joke' intended. With the comma, the joke is obvious, especially when accompanied by a wry smile from the speaker. If also accompanied by a 'nod and a wink', well ye moight be in fer a time, eh? Depends onna colour a yer skates, roight?
