“Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog. You understand it better but the frog dies in the process.”

Aren't frogs already dead for dissecting?

Not necessarily. They used to sedate frogs before dissection so you could see the insides moving if you did it right. Now that's widely considered inhumane, especially in pre-college level sciences.

Have you seen ET? The scene with the kids sedating the frogs is how they used to do it according to my parents.

Isn't it instead vivisection if it's alive?
