John's style, John's sense of humor, John's history of quarrel with Shambles, John posting yesterday at that time in several threads as a guest from a friend's house.

Do you know the feeling of laughing and at the same time feeling bad about laughing? You know you shouldn't but you do it anyway. That's what happened to me when reading John's post. One single letter ruining a thread title! I did laugh and I felt bad about it.

We did it with everything we could think of when we were young, with film titles, with lines from the Bible, with advertisments, lines from songs etc. Our thought then were rather sexist. The pinnacle was if you could change the sense only by adding a comma.

I give you a link to an old thread (the link should lead to my post I hope) in which the song 'Ten little niggers' was discussed. When you read that you may understand that the offensive word in Britain is considered less offensive than in America.
