    heru-ur

    I thought the "joke" was disgusting when I read it, but you have gone over the top. After all, the fellow who made the joke is here mainly to make bad jokes and derail threads from serious topics. UT is just a 'chat room' to many here and you must get used to it. Hell, several use it just to hone their stand-up act. (did Lewis Black start here?) -- heru-ur

    You call it over the top, I call it "pointing out the obvious." I don't give a shit why he is here. If he is willing to make such jokes then he is no better than shooter as far as I am concerned and I am going to let him know it.
