Although your response was successfully witty, most attempts at humor involving a somewhat

It is perplexing why some people choose forums like this to climb onto a moral high horse. If I make a crack about dark complected women with saggy breasts in National Geographic then some take it as an oppurtunity to be offended.

The ironic thing is that the same people would have probably chuckled had Jay Leno used it in his monologue. I think the more intriguing queston is why some people pick internet forums as a place to seek righteousness and moral superiority? Wouldn't church be a better venue?
