Re: A (Lame) Joke in Loglan

[John Cowan <cowan@SNARK.THYRSUS.COM>]

On March 30, a message was posted to the 'loglanists' list.  I have
transposed the 4th edition Loglan into Lojban; a few of the cmavo
are not in L1, and interpretations are consequently shaky.

(Note:  "-mao" is actually the affix for "madzo", which transposes to "zbasu";
Institute Loglan is notorious for using "zbasu" where "rinka" or "gasnu" is
really wanted.)

Now perhaps I am dense, but this joke seems to me so feeble that I don't
get the point at all.  Can anybody elucidate it?
