Guys,
This type of "humour" is actually offensive to a large population (we are on
air world-wide, ok?) and has no place in a professional user group such as
this.
Cheap shots about religious figures may constitute harassment in many legal
jurisdictions around the world, when the material ends up in company or
government email banks.  But it shouldnt be necessary to refer to legal
restrictions - commonsense and courtesy are surely sufficient in an educated
international group.

Regards to all,
