   I’m adding humor and sex to that list. ‘Cause. Uhm. It seems that everybody’s got a reaction to humor and even more folks like to talk about sex.

   Miss A,
   It was very much trickery, but tongue-in-cheek trickery.

   Deutlich,
   I changed my graylist specifically for you. My blog thinks you say too many questionable words and I would always have to go in and save your comments. Now, hopefully I won’t.

   Ashley,
   You’re silly!
