Water Good Joke

In the middle of the first year programming lecture this afternoon, for no reason that I can think of I said:

“Did you know that every year 2,000 road sweepers drown in Venice?”

Total silence.

I think it was the way I told it.

If it makes you any happier Rob, I laughed.

I laughed. Perhaps the first years are just timid.
