This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It was a joke about the famous hotel chain Rendezvous with Rama.
"Pretending to misunderstand what you said" is one of my favorite joke structures.

Sometimes I'm good at making jokes, but I'm almost always terrible at understanding the jokes of others.

This could be a very serious problem.

No no see you're supposed to say "no, that's a book by Arthur C Clarke, you're thinking of other thing that kinda has most of the same sounds"
