I'M offended........by the "disclaimer."

Why does it have to be for "humor" only? Do you have something against sad people? Or people who DON'T exhibit humor? Are you trying to differentiate between humorous religions and fundamentalist religions? Are you implying that someone should have a particular faith that embraces humor? What if someone likes to be offended? ...and you qualify your offensive remark to remove the "sting" from it? Aren't you then denying them the right to be masochistic and self-mutilating? Wouldn't you be trampling on the individual rights of people to make a determination whether a statement is offensive or not?

Hey Bill, just taking it to the extreme. Remember what I said...no matter what you write, someone will find it "offensive!"

Back to the drawing board......I'm working on learning Petit Fleur.
