^ FYI, guys, it's "homeopathic" (note "th" rather than "t") if you're trying to look it up in English.

Right. Okay, thanks for the explanation. I understand it now. It's not funny, but I understand it. I thought when I finally "got it" I'd LMAO, but no.....

However I'm still laughing over Larson's Mary had a little lamb one, though. That's hysterical!!

Like I'm sure the Mary had a little lamb one is to non-English/Americans who haven't been raised with that little nursery rhyme of Mary Had A Little Lamb.

Thanks for the explanation, I didn't get it either!

Interestingly, the premise of that cartoon sounds very familiar. It is the same as the story of how John Lennon and Yoko Ono first met.

From the usual source:

"In the fall of 1966, Ono was in London for an art exhibition, Unfinished Paintings and Objects, hosted by the Indica gallery and bookshop in Mayfair.

Lennon was invited to the gallery to see Ono’s works the day before the show opened. Although some report the date as Nov. 9 (due to a mistake by Lennon), the day was actually Nov. 7, because Ono’s show began on the 8th and continued for the next 10 days. The Beatle had the mistaken impression that the exhibition would be of a sexual nature, involving a woman artist in a bag. When he showed up, he was greeted instead by a variety of conceptual pieces, including an apple and a bag of nails with ludicrous price tags.

“I thought this is a con. What the hell is this?” he later told the BBC. “Nothing’s happening in the bags. I’m expecting an orgy, you know ... and it’s all quiet.”

Disappointed, Lennon was skeptical about the displays, and the artist herself, who greeted him with a card that read “breathe.” The singer complied with a pant. Lennon was suspicious that he might have been invited as a “rube” who would spend some of his recently acquired fortune on these avant-garde pieces.

Lennon’s mood turned, however, when he checked out a piece that caught his eye. Ono had placed a ladder that led up to a canvas on the ceiling with some tiny type that required the use of a magnifying glass.

“And in tiny little letters it says ‘yes.’ So it was positive,” Lennon told Rolling Stone in 1971. “I felt relieved. It’s a great relief when you get up the ladder and you look through the spyglass and it doesn't say ‘no’ or ‘[••••] you’ or something, it said ‘yes.'”

His curiosity increasing, Lennon engaged Ono in regards to her piece “Painting to Hammer a Nail In.” The pop star was eager to try his hand, but the artist was reluctant for him to “ruin” the work before the exhibition’s opening the next day. She asked him to pay five shillings per nail, but instead the two agreed that Lennon would pay imaginary money to hammer an imaginary nail.

“And that’s when we really met,” Lennon told Playboy not long before his 1980 murder. “That’s when we locked eyes and she got it and I got it.”

Homeopathic = take a drop of medicin - mix it w swimming pool of water - claim that the achieved product is stronger than original - even if there might not be a single molecule of medicin in it.

Vesa is offering a coin that similarly is "raised in potent" - take a dollar - dillute it until there´s hardly a molecule left - and voila´ - now it is one billion $ . . .

And I'm now trying to figure out how this long story has anything to do with the original joke. It's not happening. At all. :ROFLMAO::LOL::p
