tea time @virtlantis

After more than 2 years having Kip Yellowjacket in my friendlist. I finally attend one of the meeting he has on his pretty popular sim Virtlantis (Btw why yellowjacket Kip? that made me me think you were an alumni of the most popular university in my country, University of Indonesia).
So yesterday at 6 pm my time (4am SLT) I went to Tea Time with Wilson, teleported to the event area about 10 mins too early, I found Wilson, a big muscled kinda scary looking man, in the middle of the venue, stood there almost alone but a geeky looking avatar behind him. So, uh oh... I thought.. not another lonely event, I cant go on in an event with such few attendee, not anymore.
But just as the time was getting closer, one by one avatar popped in the middle of the room, till there's about 10 of them.
So, the tea time begin.. Wilson told us that he's going to read something he called a micro fiction, a new term for me already, which is a very very short fiction story, only a paragraph long. In each story he presented, he asked us which word we didn't understand, and though it was a very short story, I always found a word I didn't fully understand..put it in a phrase I can get the meaning, but not the word's definition itself. So, it was really good for vocabulary building!
After thatm he asked those in voice to read the story out loud, and repeat some certain word he find us hard to pronounce over and over... good practice, simple but really practical isn't it?
So, he went on to the very last story, which was my favorit one..  about  a russian scientist name Rudolph. Bla bla bla... came the punch line, when Rudolph were arguing with his wife, he said:
" Rudolph, The Red, knows rain, Dear!"
Hehehehe, I wish I remember the whole story, but... did you get what's so funny with the punchline?
