My mom always said, "Those who live in glasshouses shouldn't throw stones"
I'm always prepared to take the piss out of myself and it is a little sad
that others take things so bloody serious. I have never seen things so bad
these days where you have to be sooooooo politically correct to suit these
morons who take offense at every drop of the hat! Look now in America,
somebody has been offended because the parts on a computer have been
referred to a "master & a slave!!!!
At the risk of me getting into trouble here, I would like to say Happy
bloody Christmas to all for the coming season (see what I mean!) and keep
your HO HO HO at the top of the pecking tree :-)

Subject: [Nature Recordists] Humour is dangerous, esp when one hasn't got it
Hear! Hear! Martyn and Syd. It is especially lacking, these days, in
the colonies, where everyone takes themselves sooooo seriously. Don't
be daunted by the resistance, though. And keep the jokes and funny
remarks coming by any means. Reminds me of an Ambrose Bierce (The
Devil's Dictionary) definition of man: "Man, n, An animal so lost in
rapturous contemplation of what he thinks he is as to overlook what
he indubitably ought to be. His chief occupation is extermination of
other animals and his own species, which, however, mlutiplies with
such insistent rapidity as to infest the whole habitable earth and
Canada."
