jokes

Adam, you mentioned that you didn't get the autarch joke: it means he knew what was going on all the time, and the irony is that he, ruler of all, is never allowed under the bed where she shunts all her other lovers (ie - he wants to have everything all her lovers have, and that includes hiding from an authority figure). It is supposed to be funny because of its situational irony - under the bed should be the last place the autarch wants to go. I'm sure you understand that - there isn't anything more there. He knows about her other lovers and doesn't care. I really like the punch line that goes "let go of my arm, master". he he. Marc Aramini
