Oh, give it a rest, Jeanne. The topic said it was not politically
correct.
Yes, I understand.
Funny, humorous, serious, sad, all are in the eye of the beholder.

Most jokes, are not at all funny if you take them seriously.
In "Stranger in a Strange Land" Robert Heinlein pointed out that most
jokes if taken seriously are truly awful. He then posited that "Man
is the animal that laughs because it hurts" Are there any jokes where
someone is not pointed up as a fool, put in an embarassing situation,
injured, or killed? Sheer joyous laughter because something good
happened is a rare thing indeed, and very likely to be misinterpreted
by people.
Joke put pain in a safe context, they allow us to see it, laugh at it,
and thus live. For if we did not have such an outlet it would be too
much to bear.

yup, Donna,
i guess ya gotta have the experience to see why that wasnt at all funny.
i guess i missed the lesson on how to deal with this kind of thing
and there isnt a manual for it either.
9 mo + 21yr 9.5mo = 0
its not an equation that is working well with me at all.
