- J.S., I was being silly in response to silliness I believe that is
- covered under the "fair response clause" of Law 21-FW-5.
-
- Now you want me to believe that you can't determine the differences
- between a resume, a joke and a chain letter.
-
- No clearly a resume is a weapon of self-defense and a joke is yelling
- fire in a crowded theater (as long as you laugh).
-
- Do you have the same trouble with the definition of harrassing phone
- calls late at night or does the caller explain "late" is relative and
- "harrassment" isn't defined legally ?
-
- Thanks for playing todays exciting episode of "why not spend forever
- trying to legally define the entire world before we act".
