i loved it. irreverence is the best insurance against what alexis deToqueville termed America's greatest danger from within and the seeds of its own destruction: Democratic Despotism. those offended by that joke would do well to read it.

Dave, I agree. Very poor taste (and poorly thought-out as well).

Hiroshima was a terrorist attack -- now THAT'S a joke!

OJ:
Our local minister had all of his remaining teeth pulled and
new dentures made a few weeks ago.

The first Sunday, his sermon lasted 10 minutes. The second
Sunday, he preached only 20 minutes. But, on the third
Sunday, he preached for an hour and a half.

I asked him about this. He then told me "well, Ferrgus, that
first Sunday, my gums were so sore it hurt to talk. The
second Sunday, my dentures were still hurting a lot. Now
the third Sunday, I accidentally grabbed my wife's dentures
AND I COULDN'T STOP TALKING!"
