Sigh - That was the last ditch attempt. I was hoping you would at least be able to laugh at a foul mouthed Gnome but even that didn't work. I think we will just have to accept that if you don't find the image of a short, fat, bearded garden ornament going red in the face then we are just too different to have a sensible conversation.

No problem doesn't make either of us a lesser person but if I accept that your sensitivities are such that you find black humour somehow unacceptable will you accept that a lot of people are quite happy and comfortable with it? If we can agree that then the thread question can only be answered by - 'It depends on who is telling the joke, the circusmstances and the audience'.

And I wish you had actualy told me to fuck off rather than implying it. I found the implication vaguely humourous but us Gnomes are not known for sublety. Pie in the face is much better:-)

Cheers
