Oh… The feather-brain child has returned?.. (pulling out umbrella and opening it)… Glad I kept this thing handy. Been wondering when I would have to start looking out for poop bombs again. On the plus side, at least you have shitty aim. (See what I did there? 
) Still, as the Boy Scouts preach, always better to be prepared.
Of COURSE they are joking. Duh! I figured it should be OBVIOUS that I am WAY more intelligent than AI. The only reason I let @Cognostic and @Canuk write my prompts is because I am helping them develop their own “intelligence”. It’s been an arduous and lengthy process, I agree. But that’s just the kind of pal I am. @Old_man_shouts_at_cl is just jealous because he missed the deadline for the open enrollment course I offered. With any luck, he can hop onboard next semester.
Remember, Doc, you are fighting for FOURTH place. As I said, I already hold 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in the intelligent humor category. In all fairness, though, I do have to agree you would be in “first” place among the others here. See? I give credit where credit is due. That’s just how humble I am. 
Edit to add:
@Jimbo In this particular case, listen to what Old Man says. He speaks words of Great Wisdom.
