> A: Humans apparently the shirts says peace defender and this one says virtue.

> Human 1: (in whispers) I don’t have the heart to tell them…

> A: Anyway I’m going to present these to my mate. -- Anon Guest

"Maybe they _have_ figured it out?" whispered Human Vit as ze watched Companion Clem carefully fold the shirts into a pretty gift box.

"I'm not certain," Human Kaan whispered in response, cupping her hand around her mouth. "Clem's lot aren't an in vivo species. They spawn."

Vit wondered, with some horror, what happened when an entire species didn't get someone else's dirty joke. Which lead to the horror that ze, too, might have missed someone _else's_ dirty jokes?

How much filthy humour could there _be_ in the universe?

Lots, probably.

"I've just had my eyes opened to possibilities that I can't comprehend," muttered Vit. "There's going to be another system of Archivaas dedicated to it."

"Don't say it out loud," warned Kaan. "Don't search it, don't write it anywhere. Keep. It. To. Yourself. The Archivaas don't need any flakking encouragement."

They'd already used the materials in entire solar systems to build their extensive libraries. The Powers That Be were the only ones who knew what they'd do with a new topic to _study_.

Many opined that they already had enough to do.

The two Humans left the topic alone. Clem finished their gift-wrapping and pottered off to visit their mate with anticipatory joy in their heart.

Nothing more was said about it for a week.

That was when the whole ship saw Clem and their mate wearing the shirts on a date.

There were others who understood the joke, but didn't have the restraint of Kaan and Vit.

The question is not how to keep the genie in the bottle. It's how large it is when it gets out.

Thank you for your support before, will you support now?

My previous @v4vapp proposal has expired. I have a new one which is running but unfunded right now. I'm still running @v4vapp and all my other services.

I've just updated [v4v.app](https://v4v.app) and I'm getting ready for some exciting new features after the next hard fork.

Please consider asking your friends to vote for [prop #265](https://peakd.com/me/proposals/265) or consider [unvoting the return vote](https://peakd.com/me/proposals/0).

For understandable reasons in the current crypto climate it is harder to get funded by the DHF, I accept this so I'm asking a wider audience for help again. I'll also add that I power up Hive every day and usually power up larger amounts on 1st of the Month. I'm on Hive for ideological reasons much more than for only economic benefit.

- [Proposal 265 on PeakD](https://peakd.com/me/proposals/265)
- [Proposal 265 with Hivesigner](https://hivesigner.com/sign/update-proposal-votes?proposal_ids=%5B265%5D&approve=true)
- [Proposal 244 on Ecency](https://ecency.com/proposals/265)

Additionally you can also help with a [vote for Brianoflondon's Witness using KeyChain or HiveSigner](https://vote.hive.uno/@brianoflondon)

If you have used [v4v.app](https://v4v.app/) I'd really like to hear your feedback, and if you haven't I'd be happy to hear why or whether there are other things you want it to do.

Yeh if that one was under wraps it definitely wouldn't be for long XD

And how many dirty jokes you're missing at a universal level is definitely a shower thought.

Cue retroactive, "WHOA, did that author really mean to say that?" and mistranslations leading to dark giggling in corners.
