I'm very glad to hear that. Still, if we all double-check what we say it'll make life a little better for the people who are sensitive.

Sorry I didn't catch your humor the first time around. It can be really hard to convey certain types of humor--especially sarcasm--over text. Next time if you try to be clearer, I'm sure we can get a good laugh out of it. ^__^
Though Asa has a point, it might be a good idea to be wary of people's sensitivities. Just treat us all like we're a group of little old ladies, and I'm sure you'll be fine.

| I'm half tempted to explain the humor out right which would definitly be more inflamitory than the acutal joke itself. Point being, don't badger, let lie whats done... |

My god, you people are so hard to humor... apparently, sarcastic humor eludes you... |
Hence the wink.  I got it, I was firing sarcasm back at you.

Oh no, now that I know you were being humorous I get the joke.
Though I still don't find it funny, personally.
