For the record, for newbies or those who have gotten a tad carried away by the recent "no flaming" injunctions, this is what we at FFL call humor. It is supposed to provoke a variant of the cough reflex in which one spits out one's glass of juice or whatever at the computer monitor. It is *not* supposed to provoke out- rage and wrath. There may be a basic design flaw in the universe somewhere that causes some to react to fairly obvious humor with outrage, but that the way things are, aren't they? There is not much that we can do about it other than laugh at the outraged at the same time we laugh at the jokes. Caveat: The above is opinion, and as such is worth absolutely nothing. Less than nothing. It has less worth than the over-the-counter value at a pawnshop for the lint in an earthworm's navel, and about the same intel- lectual content. Be warned.
