That's the joke. I was delivering the ANTI-joke.

I don't think you understand what an anti-joke is.

Well why don't you enlighten me? What IS an anti-joke?

An anti-joke is a joke that's setup to have a decent punchline but the punchline is either anti-climactic, unfunny, unrelated, or some combination of the 3.

Right. And I've seen the "calling a tail a leg doesn't make it one" punchline in several G-rated joke books. And if the "calling a tail..." response is an established riddle/joke, then "5" is against type, and not funny.
