Well Yeah,
Sometimes I try to put a funny response into a serious discussion by others to relieve the tension. Too many times those folk go right on and ignore me. And I am really tired of it! Ya all pay more attention, ya hear!

When I went in the Navy my first duty station was Atlantic City, N.J. I was straight off the farm and not privy to the ways of the world as yet. A lot of immigrants lived in housing projects in the east. All were "fair" game of colorful descriptions by the other immigrants at that time. At times you would hear those "descriptions." It was all new to me. That was pretty normal and probably not even noticed to any great extent. It was just part of the language.

However today it is pretty amazing of how many supposedly highly educated people sink to the lowest level to make a minor point.
