      Lighten up Francis. It was a joke. However, if you talk to business people I think you'll find that they think it's true.

                Don't be too quick to claim credit -- before there were programmers, it used to be a joke about engineers.

                                  If they switch to using a separate server for jokes, that would probably be a good thing.

                                      She didn't say I looked anything like you... oh wait, she said you looked like a horse's ass.

                                      I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.

                                        And yet she still invites me over.

                                          It's true. We all like to point and laugh at you. It does us good to see how the lower orders live. Think of yourself as a charity case, and us as the viewers watching news reports on the TV.
