    DM>> Why not: "wisdom is power"?   
    AS> Because it would not work in this joke from Reddit:   
      
    AS>    I understood it as "Knowledge is power, France is Bacon".    For more   
    AS> than a decade I wondered over the meaning of the    second  part and what   
    AS> was the surreal linkage between the    two? If I said the quote to   
    AS> someone, "Knowledge is power,    France  is Bacon" they nodded knowingly.   
    AS> Or someone might    say, "Knowledge  is  power"  and  I'd  finish  the   
    AS> quote    "France  is  Bacon" and they wouldn't look at me like I'd   
    AS> said something very odd but thoughtfully agree. I did ask    a  teacher   
    AS> what did "Knowledge is power, France is bacon"    mean and got a full 10   
    AS> minute explanation of  the  Knowl-    edge  is power bit but nothing on   
    AS> "France is bacon". When    I prompted further explanation by saying   
    AS> "France  is  Ba-    con?"  in  a questioning tone I just got a "yes". at   
    AS> 12 I    didn't have the confidence to press it further.   I  just   
    AS> accepted  it as something I'd never understand. It wasn't    until years   
    AS> later I saw it written down  that  the  penny    dropped.   
   I reply to understand Your joke:   
   Is penny with bacon/beacon?
