A joke is a joke. Unless it is a joke bred in "hate". Then it is a joke, but also a weapon. Often we laugh at things, and if we really thought about it, we'd probably be ashamed of ourselves. Case in point: A homicidal pedophile and a 5 year old boy are walking into the deep woods late at night. The young boy looks up at the pedophile and says, "Jeez, mister it's dark and I'm really scared!" The pedophile replies, "Hey kid, you think you're scared? I gotta walk outta here all by myself!!" When I was a working stand up I told jokes about everything from my mother's fake orgasm's to my own alcoholism... If you don't like a joke, don't tell it again. Just for the record, I didn't write the pedophile joke, I wish I had though. It's brilliant. regards, Bob Keene
