Yes all, I do have my tongue in my cheek, hopefully the use of italics and appropriate emoticonsmade that clear. (Though the italics got lost in the "quoted" box...)
If the unimaginitive people take offense at my humor, or worse, use it as a basis to validate some misguided belief system, we can correct them at that time. A world without humor is just too boring.
(I once had this girlfriend. Her mother and father were very impressed with me for some unknown reason... maybe because I treated their daughter so well. They went out of their way to make me feel at home and "mom" even cooked a special dinner. Even served wine, a nice blended white. I said I had never been so Chablis treated. Turns out mom had no sense of humor and absolutely no sense of fine punnery.... None-the-less, to this day, I still tell jokes, love a good quip, and there's virtually no restraining myself. Miss the girlfriend though.....)
