    Dustin was concerned I went to far on this one, I thought it was pretty dang funny and I know Gerry has just that sort of sense of humor with which he would have appreciated it. If I take the effort to write something I feel might make you laugh, it's all love. In the off-chance it (which was actually clean) offends someone, then that's the risk I take. Jokes aren't easy. I'm no comedian, but the good ones take risks. They push boundaries, make people feel uncomfortable and in doing so, they break new ground. It could be in shattering beliefs and it could be for strengthening the bonds of friendships. In some cases it could be used as a tool like flushing out emotions and beliefs. Sometimes true colors come out when people do get offended. Maybe sometimes I do go far, but as a whole, I feel my posts have been well received. Can't have the good without a little bad.

    Not to say that my post was anything ground breaking. :wink:

    As PatO mentioned in the other thread: without knowing the relationship between Gerry and yourself it looked as if it was a personal attack. All good now. No worries.
