Crude Joke at ESA

[Tim Regan <timregan@microsoft.com>]

Hi All,

Firstly, I didn't see Jack Dee's variation on "is that a gun in your 
pocket or are you just pleased to see me?" joke – I've just read 
about it here.

Secondly, from what I remember about being a teenage boy in the UK 
Daniel will have got the joke, partly because teenage boys spend a 
lot of time thinking about all things sexual and partly because 
sexual innuendo is a commonplace form of humour in the UK.

Thirdly we are all talking of the joke as if it were at Daniel's 
expense. I'm not sure likening someone's member to a broomstick is 
at his expense – a broomstick is over four foot long! But it would 
be embarrassing.


   Cheers,
