Jack, I am truely sorry, but I don't know how to "effect" your sense of humor. But I assure you, I am sufficiently "lightened up" to appreciate your accidental word play. (actually, I found it orders of magnitude funnier than your ethnic joke). Perhaps you should concentrate on those facets: the clever turn of phrase, the double entendre, the Freudian slip, or even the Spoonerism. Please remember one thing: in the "Forum News and Team Contact" forum, you're "on". Here is where you have to take the high road. In the "Tavern" forum (as Bloodsong suggests), you can kick back, take your virtual shoes off (but for Gdd's sake, change those virtual socks), and crack as many jokes as you like. Also remember that the reputation of the managment of the other forum was, indeed, seriously damaged over an incident that a moderator also approached from the "it's just a joke" POV. Ciao! Joe
