# Far be it from me to pretend to know
what went on inside the head of a famous french surrealist, but I believe the point he was making was that it was only a PICTURE of a pipe, not actually a pipe.

# OK...
1) Jokes are never funny if you have to explain them

2) The "this is not a pipe" thing is not supposed to be a joke. it is art.

3) Spacefish's pic, taken as part of a running gag that long standing B3tans will recognise, is actually quite funny.


Use this information wisely.
