At dinner recently, my bride was talking to the children about a Panda we had seen at the San Diego Zoo a number of years ago. When told that the Panda looked sad, the children wondered why the Panda looked sad. My wife theorized that it might be because the Panda was so far from home, or that there were too many people staring at it.

I said, “I know why the Panda is sad, it doesn’t like people anthropomorphizing it.”

To my knowledge, it was my first off-the-cuff recursive joke.
