Greetings, Laff Lovers!!!

We were on our way to the hospital where Terry, our 14-year-old son, was scheduled to undergo a tonsillectomy. During the ride we talked about how the procedure would be performed.

Terry asked, "How are they going to keep my mouth open during the surgery?"

"Easy," I quipped. "They're going to give you a phone."

Pubescently,

me

Today we have a great commercial from Germany for a karate school.

RE: Ashton's Fallout comments -- I don't think it's a peculiarly American trait, and I can't say he appears to be the sweetest sugar on earth telling you that you are an "ass", but I do agree that I don't know why everybody thinks it's so damn funny to laugh at someone else's pain or problem... jeez, people, why so mean-spirited? -Marilyn, So. Fla.
[No kidding. Perhaps you're right. In fact I was thinking "Man, how crappy must life be in Tanzania that you'd drown yourself in a pond of crap because you thought someone stole your boss' bicycle?" What about "Hey, boss -- I know I was supposed to be watching your bike and all, but somebody snatched it. Tell you what, here's $20 for a new bike and another $20 because I screwed up. Go buy a new bike and have a couple of drinks on me. In fact, I bet you need a ride to the bike shop now, don't you?"]

Your reply to Ashton was right, its not funny, its damn hilarious. And I too don't give a crap about other countries poverty levels or economic woes, we have enough of our own to worry about. Bike boy was obviously a few sandwiches short of a picnic, but I think you need to join him in the cesspool. You may call me an ass, but I'm certainly not stupid. Insults and profanity only show your lack of intellect. -Rick, San DIego
[Keep talking while I reload.]

So, Fogie, you are OK with the girls kissing in public? I feel you seem to be in agreement with Oscar Wilde (oh dear) that "everything should be legal as long as it does not frighten children or scare horses in the street." Am I close? -Rachel
[Hmm... in public? Is that the criterion we are using? So what "level" of heterosexual public affection do you find to be OK? Hand holding? Kissing? Hand on the butt while walking down the street? Lots of provocative cleavage? Because I would argue that whatever you find acceptable on the heterosexual side is going to be fine (and should be) on the gay side and not contradict Oscar's statement.]

Faggotism is NOT diversity... don't be fooled by the liberal rhetoric. it's normal to be black, white, asian or latino or follow christian, catholic, islamic or buddhist faith or no faith for that matter. it's normal to speak any language. That's diversity. but it's not normal for a "guy" to feel attracted to other guys, that's a mental disease. -Carlos
[Actually, none of the religions you mention are "normal," they are taught. As for the the guy/guy thing, it used to be classified as a disease, but the AMA changed that a long, long time ago. I hope that that does not induce melancholy and an attack of "the vapors" for you. Oh... Sorry, those aren't diseases either. And I don't see anyone suggesting that you be either restrained or forced into therapy just because you're an idiot.]

You are an ass Fogie! What people do in the privacy of their own home is, of course, their own business. What people do in public is the public's business. Everything should be legal as long is it does not violate the Rights of any others. It should be legal to wipe your butt with sand paper, just not in public. It's legal for married couple to have sex, just not in public. Everybody has a Right to set their Rules of Conduct on their own property, even if it denies you behavior which would be your Right on your property. The public has the Right to set their Rules of Conduct on public property, even if it denies you behavior which would be your Right on your property. -Mike
[It's also legal and OK for a married or unmarried straight couple to hold hands or kiss in public. And why don't you come over to my house for a while because the rules of conduct there permit me to kick the asses of closed-minded guests.]

Queers are stooping to the level of dogs and rats. Homosexuality is not right in any way, shape, or form. Keep it in the closet and not in the public view. -Aaron, Cedar Rapids
[I hope you don't hold hands or kiss your spouse in public either. And don't you dare wear a wedding ring or put a photo of your spouse on your office desk.]

I am sick of having someone's sexual habits shoved in my face. How would they like it if I shoved my penis in their face every time I saw them and shouted, "I'm here, I'm hetero, get used to it"? And then when they responded I started screaming that they were a heterophobic, misandric, bigot? Because that is exactly what the homosexuals are doing. -Eric
[How can things like hand holding and kissing be compared to indecent exposure and sexual harassment? If you think the two are the same, you have some serious issues and probably need to seek treatment for the childhood sexual abuse you suffered or whatever made you so warped.]

"I wonder if it were Biff the football stud and Buffy the perky cheerleader who did the liplock would they have been suspended? I bet not." That's not what the Principal says. He claims that any students who stood on a cafeteria table and kissed would have been suspended. Frankly, I agree. I'm the Adult Youth Advisor for my church's Youth Ministry program, and strongly feel that teens need to learn to express themselves in socially acceptable ways. One can be a nonconformist without disrupting others. -Mark
[Perhaps. But you cannot be nonconformist without being nonconformist. And when you are, like as not you will be treading in someone's preconceived comfort zone. And guess what? Those types are going to say "Waah! Waah! They are disrupting me. Waah! Waah! I am offended. Waah! Waah! That's NOT NATURAL." It's only by rattling the bars of the cages of other people's preconceptions that they might even be made to think beyond the confines of those bars - or see that those bars are an artificial barrier imposed by an intolerant and bigoted society.]
