Geoff and Milo,

I'm confused. I don't understand why Milo liked the chicken joke best, first of all, since he didn't say, and I especially don't understand why Geoff deduced that Milo smokes just because Milo said he liked the chicken joke best. Will one of you please explain the malarkey exchanged between you two? And also please answer this question: Because I didn't understand the joke, does this intellectual lack on my part conclusively prove that I am incapable of ever understanding Finnegan's Wake even with a stack of reference books and a personal tutor?

Best regards,
WorriedWind
