""You got Ass-lon?"

"Nice to see a sense of humour! Enjoyed the post! "

Glad you liked it. I actually decided to "tone it down," since I knew that cultural illiterates like Mani Ahmadi are watching like a hawk for the tiniest signs of political incorrectness (along with "SI Admin Jeff," who is obviously part of the Jew-controled media that Gottfried warned us about).

The usual mispronunication of "Athlon" is, of course, "Ath-ron," as certain ethnic groups have major problems with the "l" (el) sound. But I dare not use this in a joke, lest "that's not funny!!" thought policemen like Mani or Jeff declare me suspended for two weeks.

(Not being one of the Amdroids, I don't get one of the "lifetime passes" that Mani hands out to his buddies. The Maniban has issued a warning to me that "any" deviation from absolute political correctness will result in a lifetime ban for me. Which is why I don't point out that most Orientals can't pronounce "Athlon.")

Ain't political correctness an ugly thing?
