I'm sorry if I have caused any offence. I take the message board very seriously, but do feel, as with a newspaper, there is a place for light-heartedness amongst the serious postings. I try to contribute to both.
I have been trying to present different styles of humour, one of which styles is that above. It is not my preferred or usual type of humour. Different things amuse and offend different people and, in trying to achieve one I'm afraid that I was careless of the other.
I can't promise that my humour will always be inoffensive to everyone. I do promise not to offend anyone deliberately and not to repeat that type of humour.
Prior to reading your post,I had already decided that some of my rather angrier, very bleak humour would have a warning in advance as to the content to enable people to choose not to open it.
