WATTS AND KNOTTS (jokes)

KNOTT : "Who's calling?" was the answer to the telephone.

WATT : "Watt."

KNOTT : "What is your name, please?"

WATT : "Watt's my name."

KNOTT : "That's what I asked you. What's your name?"

WATT : "That's what I told you. Watt's my name."

[A long pause, and then from Watt,]

WATT : "Is this James Brown?"

KNOTT : "No, this is Knott."

WATT : "Please tell me your name."

KNOTT : "Will Knott."

[YOU LEFT THE TALKERS AT A POINT WHERE THEY WERE TOTALLY CONFUSED, READTHE REST OF WHAT HAPPENED...]

WATT : "Why not?"

KNOTT : "Huh? What do you mean why not?"

WATT : "Yeah! Why won't you tell me your name?"

KNOTT : "But I told you my name!"

WATT : "Didn't you say you will not?"

KNOTT : "Not not, knott, Will Knott!"

WATT : "That's what I mean."

KNOTT : "So you know my name."

WATT : "Of course not!"

KNOTT : "Good. So now, what is yours?"

WATT : "Watt. Yours?"

KNOTT : "Your name!"

WATT : "Watt's my name."

KNOTT : "How the hell do I know? I am asking you!"

WATT : "Look I have been very patient and I have told you my name and you have not even told me yours yet."

KNOTT : "You have been patient, what about me? I have told you my name so many times and it is you who have not told me yours yet.

WATT : Of course not!"

KNOTT : "See, you even know my name!"

WATT : "Of course not!"

KNOTT : "Then why do you keep saying of course Knott?"

WATT : "Because I don't." 
[Pause]

KNOTT : "What is your name?"

WATT : "See, you know my name!"

KNOTT : "Of course not!"

WATT : "Then why do you keep asking Watt is your name?"

KNOTT : "To find out your name!"

WATT : "But you already know it!"

KNOTT : "What?"

WATT : "See!"

KNOTT : "And you know mine!"

WATT : "Of course not!"

KNOTT : "Exactly!"

[NOW THEY ARE AT A POINT WHERE BOTH THINK THE OTHER KNOWS THEIR NAME, BUT THEY THEMSELVES DON'T KNOW THE OTHER'S NAME.]

KNOTT : "Listen, listen, wait; if I asked you what your name is, what will be your answer?"

WATT : "Watt's my name."

KNOTT : "No, no, give me only one word."

WATT : "Watt"

KNOTT : "Your name!"

WATT : "Right!"

[pause before it hits him]

KNOTT : "Oh, Wright!"

WATT : "Yeah!"

KNOTT : "So why didn't you say it before?"

WATT : "I told you so many times!"

KNOTT : "You never said Wright before"

WATT : "Of course I did."

KNOTT : "Ok I won't argue any more. Do you know my name?"

WATT : "I do not."

KNOTT : "Well, there you go, now we know each other's name."

WATT : "I do not!"

KNOTT : "Good!"

[pause before it hits him]

WATT : "Oh, Guud!"

KNOTT : "Good."

WATT : "No wonder, it took me so long, is that Dutch?"

KNOTT : "No, it's Knott!"

WATT : "Oh, okay. At least the names are clear now Guud."

KNOTT : "Yes Wright."

[NOW THEY BOTH THINK THEY KNOW EACH OTHER'S NAME AS WELL! Watt do you think ?? Do they or do they Knott ???]
