Read the information on net.jokes that is posted to new users. If
it's rot13ed, then you cannot be upset at what you read. How many
poles, irishmen or blacks get upset at the jokes that they read that
are rot13ed? ZERO!

Stop your whining.

Tell you what. I'm going to be at Boskone up in Boston over
Washington's birthday weekend. You can try to punch my lights out
then.

As long as it was funny I'd laugh at it. Funny is in the eye of the
beholder. If it wasn't funny then it wouldn't be funny, I wouldn't
take umbrage at it and start bleating "Never again! Never again!".
If my family was massacred I'd be bummed out by it fer sure, but if
they where killed in a Burger King by a maniac wielding an uzi
shouting "My way is with lots of blood and lead!!", I'd ultimately
find it funny. After all, you can't be upset about it FOREVER;
people will find you a BORING and ANNOYING person and ignore you.
Hopefully MOTOS will ignore you too so you won't be able to pass on
your OBSESSION genes. (think of it as evolution in action)

Now for a joke:

A dishevled woman came running up to officer Murphy, who was walking
his beat.

"Help! Help! I've been raped by an Irishman!"

"How do you know that, m'am?"

"I had to help him!"

There once was a thing called a V-2,
To pilot which you did not need to--
  You just pushed a button,
  And it would leave nuttin'
But stiffs and big holes and debris, too.
