Oh, c'mom, Paul.  I very much enjoyed your comment.  It was good for a giggle.  However, I'm cursed with PC-itis, and feel guilty about such giggles.  I then feel compelled to apologize, and, were I Catholic, I'd likely say a hundred "Hail Mary"s.  

Additionally, (and in a serious vein)  I worked with developmentally delayed students and find jokes about "idiots", "retards" etc insulting to them. 

 It's a struggle going through life so damn PC.  Moreover, at the same time, I've always been a fan of the "under-dog", a Red Sox fan, and voted for McGovern.  I think those things go together.  I also "take-in" stay dogs and give money to panhandlers.  

regards, Gary
