ha ha ha...I was wondering after reading all these threads if someone could please tell us the "smile" joke again? I don't think I got it after the first 20 times? ![Hmm [^o)]](/emoticons/emotion-40.gif)

I agree with "antidisestablishmentarianism". I remember several year ago on a TV game show ($64,000 Question", or similar, where this very question was asked. This answer came from the Oxford unabridged dictionary of the English language (one of those enormous ones that fill a library reference reading tables).

Actually, the longest word in English is SMILE: it is more than one MILE long.
