That's why often times a joke that is funny within a community can easily be rather unfunny when it is being told by a third party ABOUT a community. And I have to tell you, that was my reaction to your joke, even though I am sure that wasn't your intention. Without being too preachy, I'd like to ask that all members of the LUG please try to remember in future that this is a public forum and that therefore most every group you can think of is represented.

Just thought I'de pass this on One day a guy dies and finds himself in hell. As he is wallowing in despair he has his first meeting with a demon... Demon: Why so glum, chum? Guy: What do you think? I'm in hell. Demon: Hell's not so bad. We actually have a lot of fun down here... You a drinkin' man? Guy: Sure I love to drink. Demon: Well you're gonna love Mondays then. On Mondays that's all we do is drink. Whiskey, tequila, Guinness, wine coolers, Diet Coke and Fresca... we drink till we throw up and then we drink some more! Guy: Gee that sounds great. Demon: You a smoker? Guy: You better believe it! Demon: All right! You're gonna love Tuesdays. We get the finest cigars from all over the world and smoke our lungs out! If you get cancer, no biggie-you're already dead, remember? Guy: Wow...that's....awesome! Demon: I bet you like to gamble. Guy: Why yes, as a matter of fact I do. Demon: Cause Wednesday you can gamble all you want. Craps, Blackjack, Roulette, Poker, Slots, whatever... If you go Bankrupt...well, you're dead anyhow. Demon: You into drugs? Guy: Are you kidding? Love drugs! You don't mean... Demon: That's right! Thursday is drug day. Help yourself to a great big bowl of crack. Or smack. Smoke a doobie the size of a submarine. You can do all the drugs you want and if ya over dose; that's right you're dead - who cares! OD!! Guy: Yowza! I never realized Hell was such a swinging' place!! Demon: You gay? Guy: No..... Demon: Ooooh, you're gonna hate Fridays
