Sorry janggut, but I don't think that using people with any kind of disability as a 'reference point' in such a way is a thoughtful or decent thing to do. It's getting a cheap laugh at the expense of a group of people who have a very difficult path through life, through no fault of their own.
Perhaps I am more sensitive about that issue than most people, because of the work that I do. But I noticed a few weeks ago that one of the women who used to come to this forum posted a very angry response to Womble's sig. I don't think she ever came back afterwards either. Quite possibly he never saw her post, and didn't realise that it upset her.
Believe me, that sort of joke maybe meant 'harmlessly' but, like many casually made jokes, can be needlessly hurtful. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />
Anyway, I'll stop hijacking your discussion, and leave you to it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />
