Not quite figured out the US sense of humour yet.
I once got flamed on a dog breed mailing list when I
made a bit of a sick joke with plenty of Smileys to

In the end I broke down and explained to her it was

out (racist pig etc etc). I then had to repost that I
meant commedy that was macabre and had absolutely
nothing to do with race.
