Roger on the not kosher bit.  We have a varied audience here in The Round Table. 

I'd like to think we are mindful of that as a group, even with the URL links.   undecided

Adult warning, my foot.  There's no call to be writing joke articles about some public figure's wife's unmentionables.  That's just wrong.   sad

freedom od speech and all, you can write anything you want, good or bad, but if it's bad and you decide to post it here even though you probably shouldn't, you SHOULD warn us, that's all.  undecided

Point taken but there's always context to be considered.  We can always take a "good" word and turn it bad in no time. The word "screw" comes to mind.

Ok, you go...  laugh
