You said it, poppagator.

I didn't want to start a fight over the remark that ""... there are Americans who think that the rest of the planet doesn't exist."

But I ask myself, 'Here's a man (my husband) engaged in affectionate banter with his wife (me), and he's supposed to monitor every word he says because some guy thousands of miles away is ready to take umbrage?'

The heck with that.
