If only Vince Sabio's Humornet list was still running (the archives are still available (after I mailed him to say I couldn't get to them ;-)), and its footnote on every Collage:
"Anyone without a sense of humor is at the mercy of the rest of us".
I run a couple of jokes lists and there's all sorts of material on them, and poking fun at all sorts of people from all walks of life. But if anyone pokes fun at me for whatever reason I laugh at it. The Governor of West Virginia should "get a life".

Humournet was a fabulous resource, but ended when Vince got too busy at work. Darn those day jobs anyway! The archive is still around, but is often offline. -rc

Like Martin, I laugh when people poke fun at me, and I'm often shocked when people take jokes I make other than in the spirit they're meant. When real problems arise, though, is when people try to make me unwelcome by making fun of me, given that it doesn't work because I genuinely enjoy it... :-)

Your link to this article from your recent e-mail reads "readers agitate for the government to take away their right to free speech. Yeah, really!" But that's not right at all. Nobody ever agitates for the government to take away THEIR rights. Only those of the other guy!

Utahns may be many mockable things, but "inbred" isn't one of them; I doubt there's anyone less likely to marry his sister (or cousin) than someone from Utah. Not sure where "D from WV" learns his stereotypes from, but he missed it on that one. Must be a consequence of Pa being Ma's younger brother....
