Good Grief!! Give it a rest!
Hate to tell you Laura, you can't take it, but you can dish it out!! :-)
I find this joke offensive because it attacks those persons who have/had/
may get hemorrhoids. It also offends those people who have bottoms by
attacking their personal hygiene.

How about this joke:
Why did the chicken cross the road?
	To get to the other side.

No! No! No!!
This offends farmers insinuating that they do not care properly for
their livestock. Why would a chicken be in the road if it were not
for delinquency on the part of the farmer?

The fact is, Michael Ross it right. You tell a joke and 
by God^H^H^H Goodness you can make it offend anybody!
   (alomost offended somebody there...)

If you haven't noticed by now, this whole discussion should be moved
back to net.jokes because, you guessed it, it *IS* becoming a joke!

Gee, I hope I didn't offend anyone...
