The "New One" joke was infantile, tasteless, offensive, and above all, misplaced. Even the sender knows that.
But there is a significant difference between well-conceived humor such as Andy Griffin's recent spoof of "foreward" -- which was delivered with a twinkle in his eye -- and the "New One" joke (if you can call it that) -- which was delivered with an adolescent and lascivious grin. Now I ask you, ye who consider this an improper forum for humor, to consider an analogy: Wearing a tie to work is something many consider proper and professional. But how many people do you know who ALWAYS wear a tie to work, yet never, NEVER unbutton their shirt at the collar underneath that tie? The only person I knew was my Grandfather -- who died an untimely death -- and he wore clip-ons. May they both rest in peace! And so may this issue!
