The difference is that I don’t like anything where someone helpless is the target. Don’t know why that is so hard to understand. But, obviously, it is.

I knew I would be immediately attacked and called the usual, pre-programmed names by the “yer either with us or agin us” crew — sounding like entitled buttercups who think they can say whatever they want to, and nobody better dare to criticize by pointing out the flaw……

Predictable. I knew it. But I set it up anyway. Actually, kind of fun to watch it play out.

It’s all theater.

I get it. I understand your objection and respect your feelings about the joke.

I would have to say that a person may have a different point of view depending on where they are from, what they did for a living, and the environment in which they were raised or dragged up.

I am not judging you because I don't know or remember any of those things about you.

Over the years you get to know people on TOTV'S. My retention is spotty. That being said in Jorsey most people wouldn't give a hoot about most jokes. No time to worry about such things, most people are just trying to survive the way things are nowadays. I think a little levity is okay. That's my vote and I'm sticking with it. I didn't take the OP as being an anti-Semitic person just relaying a funny is all. Take Care, Boomer. I respect your thoughts.

P.S. We just moved and this house has several hundred light switches and outlets. I've got a long way to go to get the screws facing East to West!!!!! Now that's FUNNY! Come on! Do you remember????
