No, it was me who deleted it. It sounded funny in my head but when I read it online a minute later I thought somebody might take offense (even though it wasn't meant that way). You see, the family I grew up in would say the craziest things to each other but none of it was ever taken seriously. We were all jokesters and pranksters. We had a lot of fun growing up together. Still, the problem I keep running into is that nobody can tell when I joking.

So, try this . . . whenever you read one of my posts, think of a man with a gray beard standing on one leg holding a banana cream pie in one hand and whistling Dixie (a mighty fine tune). Then say to yourself, "is this guy serious?" The answer should be "no."

There's not a single person on this forum that I don't think the world of, even if I poke fun at them sometimes. Remember, it's always in fun and not only do I dish it out, I expect some hits in return (don't mind them a bit). So far, Uncle Dave is the only one that really caught on . . . and he can give a lickin' and keep on tickin'.

As far as KKK in Ohio -- never seen one but it might be in my drawer . . . lose a lot of stuff in there. I'll look tonight.

Best regards to all,
Steve
