You see, the way your sentence was constructed, there was an ambiguity. It could be read in one of two ways: You have a preference of Michael Jackson's work over that of The Jackson 5. You liked Michael Jackson as a person more than the members of The Jackson 5 liked Michael Jackson. Of course, the context strongly implied that the first option was the intended meaning, so I chose to exploit the ambiguity and wilfully subvert expectations, replying as if the second interpretation was the intended meaning. This is even more unlikely when you consider the familial relationship between the band members, thus increasing the cognitive dissonance when the expectation is subverted and hopefully the humour. Hope this helps. Edited February 19, 2017 by stuartbert two hats clarification on pt1, "section" -> "second" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michaels denim shorts Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Lol, the joke was just a play on words with his brothers liking him mate, I was merely pointing it out that it went (and still seems to be going) completely over your head.

tevaburger Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 not familiar with The Jacksons, and obviously missed them at all of my previous Glastonburys... aren't they the band that suddenly hit it big in '84 off that one hit song they did with Mick Jagger? State of something? arrogantly thought they could pull off a Victory tour of US stadiums off that one hit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
