Sorry 'bout yor french toast, there SueB... Glad I could give you a chuckle... but you're much more powerful than you let on...

My point exactly, Grab... the recipient of such one sided and pseudo bigoted humor is 'expected' to chuckle along... simply because they are being coersed or some level... however slight...

...and yes, I do believe that making one's self the joke is much mre acceptable... But I've found that people often lose respect for someone who isn't out there tooting their own horn... 24/7. Oh well... if they are that easily disappointed...

the stakes are too low for such ridiculousness... imho.
