: You guys take a joke too seriously. So does John Donne.
: As Jane Austen once said, "What do we live for if not to laugh at our neighbors, and be laughed at by them in return."

I thought it was funny, Bruce. You didn't mean it maliciously, but I see how it could be taken that way.
Seriously, though, J. Donne is one of the worst poets I was ever forced to read (too religious, maybe?). Alexander Pope was far more enjoyable by comparison.
Did Keats write Ozzymandais (sp?)?
