So my niece Ashley is in 3rd grade and she laughs sometimes about this kid Duncan in her class because he "talks funny" (he's from Scotland...). Every day they do vocabulary where they pick a word and randomly point to three kids and have them say the word and use it in a sentence. Yesterday's word was "contagious". Teacher points to one kid and she says "contagious... my daddy's laugh is contagious, when he laughs everyone laughs". Teacher points to Ashley and she says "contagious... I had a cold last week and my mom says I couldn't go to school because I was contagious". Teacher says "very good, your turn Duncan" Duncan says "me daddy and I was driving down the road and we see an old lady painting a picket fence that had to be a kilometer long. He said it'll take that contagious to paint that fence there."

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

Was that ^ meant to be a dad joke or a bad joke?
