That's a good point, Billy. I haven't shared this here before, but we had a miscarriage last year. It was very early in the pregnancy, 5-6 weeks in, but still, we lost a baby, and it was extremely hard on both me and Louann. But even with that having happened to us, I still wasn't offended by the joke. Was I amused? No. But I'm not going to jump down Joe's throat and berate him for telling it.

I'm not holding anything against joe. I think he thought it was funny and appropriate for this forum. I didn't and felt compelled to point out that the joke was not appropriate for this forum. When you post a joke on a forum, you have to understand that every one who ever comes here can see it. While the most active members of this site may be adults, I also know that we have several young members and quite posibly the children of our adult members who browse the posts. We also have some female members who may easily be offended by what some males may find funny. This site doesn't have active moderators. That being said, I think we all need to police ourselves and think twice about what we post before it's set in stone.

Joe, thanks for the perfect apology, just as you have the right to post IMO a distasteful joke, everyone else has the right to post their reaction to it. Neither side has gone overboard to make their side of the case so lets just leave it at that and move on.

OK, I'm not going to reply to everyone but I am going to PUBLICLY state that I am HORRIFIED to what pain I may have caused Dan and Louanne!
I DID NOT find the joke funny and may have been more horrified than most of you.
Hence the knee jerk reaction.
I even had forgotten ALL ABOUT IT until......almost a week after it was dead and burried....BAM...right back at me.

I GOOFED!
I also can and do learn by my mistakes!

Joe, I returned your PM. Like I said, don't worry about me/us....it's not a big deal. Honestly, it's not. But thank you for your apology, even though it wasn't needed.
