- Then you must have met very few people. I do not ever try to be
- insensitive unless the person really deserves it. In case you didn't notice
- I often apologize whenever I make such comments right in the same post.
- Also, the problem is not that I was insensitive; it's that I did not add a
- smiley face or a disclaimer. Those are for wimps. I think that good humor
- must also include a degree of intelligence. I don't want to be like movies
- that set up every joke so much we always know what is going to happen. I
- want to be sly, sarcastic, and tricky. I obviously succeeded in fooling
- some people. And I did it for humor's sake ONLY.
-
- Just to let you know, there is humor in everything. There is humor
- in life, death, hunger, malice, famine, etc. You probably only laugh at
- such humor when it comes out of a certain mouth. For example, when I was
- in 10th grade, my history teacher, Mr Henry, gave us a simple assignment;
- review a movie in 70 - 75 words. He said it had to be in 70 -75 words,
- no more no less. Well, I chose the movie Caveman, and wrote about zug-zug,
- ool, etc, and he chose to read MINE aloud in class. Everyone laughed, even
- the people who don't normally like my humor. If I had given the speech,
- some would not have laughed. That is NOT fair.

- It is more fun to argue publically. Follow-ups to csa.advocacy.
