An insult isn't funny, by any reasonable standard. Part of having humor is knowing the difference between humor and bad taste. > Exchanging goods is far better than exchanging bullets. So you think Ford supplying cars &factories and IBM supplying the "computers" for the camps were fostering peace too?
