My father used to tell a joke.
"What gray, howls at the moon, and is made out of concrete?"
Everyone wanted to say a wolf, but the concrete threw them off the track. After they relented and asked, "What?"
"A wolf."
"But a wolf isn't made out of concrete." Everyone would protest at this devious deceit, until my father smiled and explained with a smile. "That's only to make the joke harder."
It was a bad joke but makes me smile too as does SMOKESTACK LIGHTNING by Howling Wolf.
This cat knew how to howl.
