It wouldn't be a joke without a reference point.  And seriously, I don't
get the reference.  That you consider it obvious enough to let it stand
on its own means that you perceive this communication differently than
I do.

That does not necessarily mean that Eli doesn't get it.  But for one
thing, he _is_ similarly thick-headed as I am, and for another, if
I don't get it, it might mean that my fate is shared if not by Eli still
by a number of others who consequently will form an opinion of this
conversation that may differ from the one you consider self-evident.

Make of that what you will.
