I have ants. They invade my kitchen. In this house the morning starts with slapping sounds on the work counter. But I understand A.N.T.S. is something else. And smack too. Is it a verb? Is it mineral, animal or vegetable?
Gary is not the only one who doesn't get a/the joke. I have been too polite to ask, but do explain about A.N.T.S., somebody.
I can appreciate family jokes, but now I am in the family too, I'd like to know. Seriously, since we are a constantly extending family, it might be a good idea to remind oneself from time to time that newbies cannot read minds.
