in thread Dirty Limerick -- Too Lewd for TPJ (Note: adult content)

i can understand why some people would be offended by this, and i can also understand why others (like myself) loved to see this posted, as it is a classic (admittedly thats straining the definition of the word 'classic' (: ). and if anything else, it was a shocker.

some people love dirty and/or lewd jokes, coders included. proof is only as far as your nearest fortune binary*. and i ++'d chipmunk because he, like those who included the -o option in fortune, made it non-mandatory to read the slop - by making the reader select the possibly offensive text after giving a fair warning. and it was fair warning, as lewd means
(according to Word Net):

'suggestive of or tending to moral looseness; "lewd whisperings of a d +irty old man"; "an indecent gesture"; "obscene telephone calls"; "sal +acious limericks" [syn: {obscene}, {salacious}]

and like mr_mischief, i found myself ++'ing George_Shertson for expressing the fact that he had been offended in an adult and intelligent manner, despite the fact that i disagree with his point. i'd kind of figured that this node would be considered 'flamebait' when i read the poetry; i'm glad people here are a little more thoughtful than that.



* Note: for those few who don't know what i'm refering to, log into your favorite UNIX/Linux terminal, and try fortune -o, but only if you want to read obscene jokes.
