Kevin (McGrath): Oh, yes, the "What took you guys so long?" comment was definitely a joke! My immediate reaction upon hearing about it, as a fellow American and a fellow Pennsylvanian, was to smile and chuckle a bit in appreciation of the joke. It's your basic acknoledgment-of-fear-but-refusal-to-show-it directly sort of humor. It never occurred to me that anyone would read it and interpret it as a complaint... but then, I'm not looking at it from outside the American culture!
