    I have to agree with @peter4jc  on this, just see some favorites suggested. No jokes or ball -busting..............yet.

    I realize this is beating a dead horse, but I'm still at a loss as to what you found to be offensive, or even 'ball-busting'.  Nick said skip those, and move right to what he considers his favorites.  Patrick said add the Ezra Zion to that list.  Plain and simple - where's their jokes?  Where's their ball-busting offense?
    I didn't exactly understand it either but I want to move on before this gets awkward. I'm guessing a few of our jokes hit him sideways and he pushed back just a bit. Right? I don't want to pick it apart. What we need to do is get him on the Vherf!!! Right?

    Groucho, just so you know, we are always, seriously, entirely, and without merit,..... joking.   

    If someone on the forum  (Not you Groucho. This is just an example.) happens to be joking hard by pretending to be offended and really committing to their joke and I don't exactly "get it",...... then to me, they just seem really offended. So, on the forum, I have tried to learn to react differently than I would in a live situation where I have more to draw from.   On the forum, instead of assuming they are actually offended, I try to ALWAYS assume EVERYONE's joking. Way, way back I remember getting upset over some bullshit on this forum. That was ridiculous of me. (Hope none of you remember that.)

    Patrick claims he is. Fair enough. You claim you're not. Hmmmm.

    I bought a Gurkha last night. One of the drawbacks of having a cigar lounge with a full-service bar. I guess beer goggles work with cigars too.

    It's all about perception.  Would actually send those guys a Davidoff stick apiece if I had access to such gems. Definitely, would buy them a glass of their favorite adult beverage in a pub. I took no offense and mean to give none.

    I think your heart's in the right place, @GrouchoM, so continue to just go with the flow. You're doing fine....

    as an example, let me just mention that I have a kinda quirky, off-the-wall sense of humor that sometimes includes a bit of sarcasm. I've learned that sarcasm is very hard to detect, sometimes, particularly when it's in print and not verbal. People frequently think I'm pissed about something when I'm actually just joking around....  Some other guys are like that, too.....

    Does that mean you're a Doctor/Surgeon who works on a$$holes or you're a Doctor/Surgeon who also happens to be an a$$hole??  

    Inquiring minds want to know.....  :p
