All jokes are offensive.  If they weren't offensive to someone, they
wouldn't be funny.  If you can think of a funny joke, you can probably
find someone who would find it offensive for some reason.  So who's
to draw the line?  I happen to like rec.humor.funny just as it was
before the brou-ha-ha began, which is probably more or less what it will
continue to be, once the alternate feeds get underway.
