- Ok....ok...ok...

- We all know about the GGBJ fiasco and the subsequent ban on transmitting
- this joke on the network. I've read a few funnier jokes than the GGBJ and
- as a matter of fact, I've read much more offensive jokes. I don't know
- why everbody got so riled up when it was posted the first through
- twentieth time, but we all know that sending it out again is completely
- forbidden. All we need is some irresponsible slob getting ahold of it and
- cross-posting it all over the airwaves again. With all of the political
- tensions today, I think the resulting outcry would be deadly. In case
- you forgot (or weren't around at the time..) the statistics that I had
- included at least two offices burnt to the ground, another dozen vandalized
- 20-30 fatalities and god knows how many goats were slaughtered by people
- who actually BELEIVED the middle bit of the joke. (Laugh if you must,
- but all you have to do is ask someone who was here when it happened. See
- how funny they think it was!)
-
- If it MUST be posted, I think we should form a committee to revise
- the joke to be more politically correct. Including, but not limited
- to, removal of sexual and racial stereotypes, references to beastiality,
- political affiliations and abnormal sexual practices. I currently have
- 4-5 versions of the joke that I saved from the 'old days'. I think that
- it's also important to agree which version of the joke should be
- released.

- How do we know that you won't post it to the net as soon as you receive it?
-
- Sorry...but I'm not willing to risk it.

- Death would be too good...visualize vise-grips, 30 yards of #2 red vinyl
- insulation, a can of chicken noodle soup and a rubber Yoda puppet
- Use your imagination.
