Descartes before dehorse.

A francophile would definitely consider that an outside joke.

In Cogito Ergo Sum, are both g's soft, hard, or hard and soft? Am I making sense?

When I took classic Latin in highs school, the g was always hard. It seems to me that in the Latin vernacular of the Catholic church that is not always the case.

But it's only an outside joke if it's considered funny by the person who does not know some piece of information. Wouldn't a francophile just look at you oddly and wonder what you meant?

I am comletely lost in the maze of defining what is inside and what is outside outside and what the joke is to start with and what I have to know and ... lost, lost, lost.

I finally remembered this one.

A married couple were looking for a new shirt for him. Having no fashion sense, the husband picked out 6 shirts that he thought were ok, and took them to show his wife. His wife pointed to the one she preferred and said "That's the one I'd get", and she was promptly killed by a cyclops.
