I get the impression that much of the cntroversy over this joke centers  on
the  use  of  the  loaded word "rape" in the punch line.  Let me propose an
alternative:

                        "Damn!  I've been seduced!"

This is the way I originally heard the joke told, mumble  years  ago.  Does
this version moderate anyone's opinions?
