You know, the funny thing about my reaction to this post was how genuinely hurt I was. Not about the whole incest thing, I was just insulted that you said I'm from Mississippi. I guess everybody has their limits.
So you skipped past the part where I said I was kidding. You must have skipped past the part where I said I said I have "kin" there.
Don't get all subtoy about it, EY. I'm laughing withe you, not at you.
... as was I. Laughing with, and at, myself.
I think it was Somerset Maugham who wrote that it is was his great curse that people always thought he was joking when he was being serious, and took him serious when he was only joking. Er, or something like that.
No, J.B., I wasn't insulted or upset at all by what you wrote, nor did I miss what you said.
I just had a surprising, unexpected, visceral reaction to the "you are from MS" part that made me chuckle to myself because it was a bit silly really. I mean, here was comment posted about one thing, and I had a reaction to something else entirely. Furthermore, my own reaction amused me, I chuckled to myself and wrote a response.
