[at-l] jokes

["KC" <wareagle@ioa.com>]

One other thing,,,It is one thing for a lesbian or gay person to tell a
lesbian or gay joke,,,it is another thing for someone else to tell it,,,if
it is told in good fun that is OK,,,if it is told in a malicious manner to
degrade others,,,that is another thing,,,(OK off my soap box).
