Cosmic, it was a joke. Spelled J-O-K-E. OK?

You know, if he really meant it, he probably could have come up with something equivalent to Evile's rants.

Give the guy a break.

Nah, not to me...Not any different than the
"Oh, that's just God, he thinks he is Joe Montana" or the "Oh, that's just God, he thinks he's a doctor" jokes.

Most jokes which aren't puns or slapstick are offensive to someone, or some class or group of people... I can even tolerate anti-Brit jokes, provided only that they're funny - that's happened twice now <g>

But the purpose of a joke often isn't to unify - it is exactly to strengthen the 'us' bond against 'them'. Whether that's desirable is a different matter. The funniness of the joke is also only loosely related, IMO...
