I'm beginning to doubt if there was any humor there in the first place.

> When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

I mean if it had been a French city I could say that a pun about French Spacing is there in the joke. But Rome isn't a French city. So still very confused if and what the joke is.

My apology for a slow response, but I took the phrase 'when in Rome...' to be a reference to the scripto continua style seen on Roman monuments.

thanks for the reply!
