	Then you must have met very few people. I do not ever try to be
insensitive unless the person really deserves it. In case you didn't notice
I often apologize whenever I make such comments right in the same post. 
Also, the problem is not that I was insensitive; it's that I did not add a
smiley face or a disclaimer. Those are for wimps. I think that good humor
must also include a degree of intelligence. I don't want to be like movies
that set up every joke so much we always know what is going to happen. I
want to be sly, sarcastic, and tricky. I obviously succeeded in fooling
some people. And I did it for humor's sake ONLY.

	Just to let you know, there is humor in everything. There is humor
in life, death, hunger, malice, famine, etc. You probably only laugh at 
such humor when it comes out of a certain mouth. For example, when I was
in 10th grade, my history teacher, Mr Henry, gave us a simple assignment;
review a movie in 70 - 75 words. He said it had to be in 70 -75 words,
no more no less. Well, I chose the movie Caveman, and wrote about zug-zug,
ool, etc, and he chose to read MINE aloud in class. Everyone laughed, even
the people who don't normally like my humor. If I had given the speech, 
some would not have laughed. That is NOT fair.

	It is more fun to argue publically. Follow-ups to csa.advocacy.
