My Kind of Humor

So my wife's family has a cat that is super weird, his name is Cosmo. The other day she and I had gone over to visit and have a meal, when all at once we noticed Cosmo lounging about on a pile of half done homework and textbooks, when my mother-in-law says he is trying to learn through osmosis... (the point of this story is to give you a bit of perspective on my humor) almost without thought, the word, "Or Cosmosis" came forth from my mouth in a tone so as to be subtle but with no subtlety whatsover. they laughed and we continued eating.
