Something is wrong when I can start something that casts doubt to the credibility of this site to a new user.
I am a volunteer moderator. I suppose I should be an example of the professionalism and maturity that the owner of this site would want to be reflected to others.
This thread got out of hand and I believe it was started because of my reply. Maybe it was a lapse in maturity that spawned it or maybe it was more of a lack of self control.
For any user that was, let's say, offended or disgusted or whatever...by what happened after my reply; sorry.

Not doing so can cause public humiliation and this :-X11 ! And it really doesn't matter how nicely you put it.
Thank you.
Hugs and Kisses,

Some people want to see FTE run exactly perfect, every post, every time. Some want to see FTE run as a fun enviroment for everyone. Sometimes these differing views clash and you should't feel responsible for it, it just happens. This thread went south when what should have been a private message was posted in a public forum. Some of the resulting responses were trying to state that by beating around the bush without actually saying it. In the meantime though, got any more good jokes? :-)

Ok, here is another:
A guy is in a terrible motorcycle accident and is taken to the nearest hospital which is attended to by the Catholic nuns.
After a week or two he is recovering and a sweet nun asks him questions regarding payment for the hospital services. She first asks if he has health insurance. In a raspy voice he says: "no health insurance". The nun then asks, "have you any money in the bank"? He replies: "no money in the bank". She then asks "do you have a relative who could help you"? He replies: "I have a spinster sister, who is a nun". The nun became a little peturbed and announced loudly: "Nuns are not spinsters! Nuns are married to God"
With that said, the patient then replied, "ok, please send the bill to my brother-in-law.

Speaking of Harleys, last week I watched (TV) a 64 year young guy dust off his younger opposition by setting a world record for Nitro Harleys by doing over 210mph in less than 6.5 seconds - now that's hauling. Maybe there's still some life left in us old guys after all.
I recall dragging in the late 50's when I finally broke 100 mph with my stripped Triumph T110 on gas, Nowadays stock bikes with smaller engines are faster than that off the showroom floor. Time marches on.

....and a little later on, in the 60's I hit 112.xx
on my 250cc Harley Sprint.
By the way, who's saying this topic got out of hand. This is the "Other" forum. As long as we're being sociable, we're not 'out of hand'. Let us be.....
