A gnome is in the garden busily destroying some bushes when a house cat
appears. "What are you?" asks the cat.
"A gnome," comes the reply. "I steal food from humans, I kill their
plants, I make annoying music at night to drive them crazy, and I love
mischief. And what, may I ask, are you?"
The cat replies, "Um, I'm a gnome."
