Re: Clapton claptrap; AEB's list

"I'm not particularly offended by the jokes, but I can certainly see why
others are. Especially Jeff, who is not only a Clapton fan but has a young 
daughter (and a future Rock guitarist on the way)."

I was not offended.  I just did not think either Scott's or Jon's dead 
Clapton child jokes were funny at all.

This little episode has made me do a little self-analysis and makes me think 
of one of my favorite jokes, which I wrote:

I tell this joke as an impersonation of my dog...
Q:  Why did the cat cross the road?
A:  To get squashed by a car.
Dog laughs uncontrollably.

If you don't think this is funny, let me explain.
It is funny because the dog is an animal with no conscience or morality and 
has an unbridled hatred of cats.  She doesn't have to apologize for laughing 
at the demise of a member of a species that she hates.  Cruelty is OK by her 
moral compass.  It also helps that I don't particularly like cats myself.

Jeff
