Geraldine and Alice were sitting alone in the church after a sermon. Geraldine decided to try and tell another joke to Alice. As much as she enjoyed the company of her verger, Alice was not a brilliant audience when it came to her jokes. Every time, the joke came with some form of over-analysis until the humour was completely gone. Fair enough, she probably should have seen the response to the "stick" joke coming, but if Geraldine couldn't find a joke that made Alice laugh, she would go round the bend.
"Okay, I've got an animal joke for you," said Geraldine.
"Okay," said Alice in anticipation.
"What do you call a stag with no eyes?"
Alice thought for a moment. The wheels were scraping one another.
"I don't know, what do you call a stag with no eyes?"
"No idea." Geraldine laughed at her own joke like she always did.
And it started…
"Then, why did you ask me?" she said simply. "If you haven't any idea what the answer is, what was the point in asking ? I mean it was a complete waste of time and breath."
"No, Alice," said Geraldine desperately "The joke is that it sounds like I said 'No idea,' but really I said 'No eyed,' she paused for a second, 'deer.'"
"Well, it's all very well that you're making jokes, but the poor thing's got no eyes," she carried on. She was leaving Planet Earth again. "I mean it could have lost them in an accident. We have all our eyes and we have no idea how it feels."
"Don't worry Alice. You'll get the chance to know."
Why did she bother…? Why did she bother…?
