Perhaps the operative word here is "Funnies":
Some folks have no sense of humor esp. when they are the owners of the ox
being gored, so if it's not funny to them then it's just not okay regardless
of
the day of the week. In any case our experience with on-list jokes about
religion, race, politics and maybe even gender has been negative.
I know of a couple folks who qujt this list because they took offense at a
joke containing religious/racial stereotypes which the poster found humorous.
Was it funny--maybe. Was it appropriate--no. I for one can live without
reading them here.

Its ironic to see some of you who steadfastly defended Friday Funnies in the
past, now offended by political humor and insisting that politics stay off
he list. What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander my friends.
