As my friend 'Animal' use to say... Don't f*** 'em if they can't take a
joke.
Being a sort of Heinz 57 Celt myself, the Gaul's being Celts themselves as
well as the Picts, and knowing a good bit of the migrations of my families
and the tribes we came from, most anyone I take a pot shot at is one of my
own more than likely.
Except maybe the far eastern folks, Chinese, but then.... I have several
Chinese I know well and already know how tiring it gets trying to explain
humor to them, yet they laugh about stuff, so they do have a sense of humor,
we just don't share it, as I quit trying for fear of hurting feelings rather
than razzing someone that can razz me back in kind.

But, as a long-time friend of mine, and former assistant district attorney
here, used to say, "F*** 'em if they can't take a joke." There's no malice
involved. It's just a bit of humor (humour).
