 sandykayakHaving lived in more than 5 countries, interacted with countless nationatilies, I developed a knack for appreciating humor even when it doesn t sound like it to me.
 
 Sometimes it is homorouos to the person saying it , and circumstances do not make it very humorous to me,  but it is the intention which I look into, and if it is meant to be homoruous, I treat it that way, short of making fun of  very serious situations.
 
 Sorry cooncreekers, I still think it is sort of funny :)  I don t mean to start a war or anything, and I know where you are coming from, I hope I was able to convery where I am coming from too.

 sandykayakSometimes, Political humor is hard to express.  Alot of time, the written is not taken the way the verbal would be.
 
 I, myself, find humor in this " Joke" .  But, I also understand that alot of Political humor is an attempt at expressing views that sometimes can be taken in wrong ways.
 
 Please look at this comment as humor, not actual Political Views..
 
 Sandy, I thought it was funny...  If your interested in others that express their political thoughts in humorous and sometimes serious manners, check out www.freerepublic.com
 
 Just my .02 at protecting someones right to to express humor...
