Subject: RE: BS: Mature wit and humor only, please!
I'll leave mature for when I'm dead and I come back as a block of cheese. I resent every bloody miserable moment of my life that I've had to waste being mature.

The great literary critic FR Leavis had his favourites as we all have in writers. His favourites, (he said) were different from everyone else's favourites because they were 'morally earnest'.

CS Lewis countered that he would rather play cards with someone who simply didn't cheat, rather than someone was 'morally earnest' about not cheating.

the faults (if they be such) lie not in our senses of humour, but in our selves.
