One more linguistics joke
Some of you might already be familiar with this classic, but we thought it was pretty great:
A descriptive linguist went to the doctor and said, “Doctor, I have a rash around my mouth. What is it?”
The doctor inspected it and said, “You have perioral dermatitis.”
The linguist looked annoyed and said, “That’s exactly what I just said.”
Happy Monday!
