"I know you wanted a Joe action figure, but..."
The funny thing is, the gift giver does not know that I like them--seriously!!! I keep it a secret. He gave me a serious book about history, and thought a "joke" about a toy was a million years from my current interests. His joke was far funnier than he realized!!! So I've been dying to tell the story, and where else can I share the joke but here at Hisstank? I thought you all might be amused!

I don't get it. He gave you a history book and not a Joe?
What's the joke?

Troynos is right: my friend gave me a history book and not a Joe. Unclassified is also right: When my friend gave me the book he said "I could have given you a Joe instead." But he said it as a tease: he doesnt know I collect Joes, he thinks I don't like Joes, that I haven't owned or wanted any Joes since I was a kid. He thinks "could have given you a joe" was a synonym for "could have given you something you don't like"; "could have given you a pink baby bottle or live rat" But, of course, I do still like Joes; getting an action figure would have been cool! My firend's tease was true and he did not realize it. That's the joke.

Real question, Why are you hiding your love for him and Joes?
