I was recently asked “Was ESET a bad program or a good program last year?”
“Yes,” I replied.
The crowd laughed, but I was a bit saddened when I realized they didn’t understand the joke the way a mathematician does, and merely thought I was being inane. One lass even asked “are you a poli-sci major?” in a true bout of irony.

The crowd never understands the joke well enough. Don’t hold it against them.
