I got the joke, but your joke didn't fit the situation.
If I did this on the other hand:

See the interesting contrast between what you actually said and what I changed it to by altering the punctuation? It's okay, we can't all be professors of comedy.
Mine totally changed the meaning. "You've been holding out on me" means he was keeping it secret (fishy's meaning). When included in a sentence however, without pause, it implies he has been holding it out on her (exposing himself). Perhaps the phrase "to hold out on someone" is new to you. Anyway, enough. I have to go.

I am familiar with the phrase "to hold out on someone", and there is no way to make it mean "to expose yourself" with good, grammatical English. Otherwise you could make anything work, which would take away the fun of the joke. It would be chaos.

Yeah, I have to agree with Nimic here, I can see what CoF was trying to say (after he elaborated), but that wasn't really conveyed from manipulation of the comma.

Hmmm. I as a non-native English speaker got the joke instantly, but I also didn't see the incorrect grammatical English there, but does it really matter when it's about a joke? Anyway, I got to agree with CoF here. Enough. It isn't worth it to reply to this discussion anymore.
if you need to explain the joke, then joke isnt funny anymore... so enough of this. lets talk about girls ffs!
soooo, we all know Tarja is one and only, but am i the only one thinking this song is perfect for Anette? (experiment with Floor should end soon enough, or they are done... she is... horrid! ) i just cant picture Tarja singing it
also, am i the only one thinking Tarja is actually hot? i mean, really hot? OK, Cristina Scabbia is hotter, but outside of her, cant think of anyone singing quality music and looking good in same time?

Without looking back at the thread, I seem to recall it being something like this: CoF: Hah! We won. Josko sucks! Josko: No, you suck, and I'm reporting you! Freakns: I have a small penis. Everyone else: Oooooh. I like freakn's penis.
