Summary: Dick, do you think that finding crudeness funny means we are titillated?

LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT.  You mean to say that you have never
laughed at a crude joke without drooling at the same time?  You think
that they both always occur at once?

I am not saying that crudeness implies humor or vice versa.  Most
crudeness is not funny and most humor is not crude.  I merely found
Astrotit to be both at the same time, which, for me, is actually
rare.
