And besides my responses to Ki was more like being on $100,000 Pyramid game show hosted by Michael Strahan than being a punchline or even a nonhumorous punchline by your standards. He gave the definition and I provided the vocabulary word, there was no punchline involved.

... and in case you don't know, this is an example of a joke with a punchline:

Q: Why did the blonde get fired from the M&M factory?
A: Because she was caught stamping ɯ's on the candy.
