Or that joke about TCP:

1: Do you want to hear a joke about TCP?

2: Yes I do want to hear it.

1: I confirm you want to hear it.

2: I acknowledge you are now going to tell the joke.

1: I will now start the first sentence of the joke.

2: I acknowledge I am now ready to hear the first sentence of the joke.
