If we worry about offending someone, we would have to stay home. It will happen.

At an outdoor party years ago I sang Shel Silverstein's "Three Legged Man", and afterwards I was on my knees putting the guitar into its case when I heard a creaking sound behind me. I looked sideways and saw a metal leg within kicking distance. I thought, "Well, either I or my guitar is in serious trouble. I looked up and there was a man with a huge grin on his face! He loved that song and wanted me to come and perform at a meeting of his handicapped group.

Mark, that line in Utah's song does just the opposite! It points out the fact that some parents should have bought a goldfish instead of having a child. That requires a lower IQ.
