To quote the famous Sgt Hulka: "Lighten up Francis!"
Who is Eddie Izzard?
The only appendage that hangs from the bottom of a male horse that even remotely resembles a cow's teat, is a penis. This is exactly where this joke always went, and I heard it over 50 years ago. As soon as Laura said it was a male horse the joke was about masturbating the horse, it had nothing to do with trying to milk a mare.
In all their faux "concern" that Laura made a joke, they've just been FORCED to use words that would make a librarian blush. Telling, isn't it?
"What? This is what I came to FR for!!!!"
I'm laughin' so hard my head hurts!
:)
I've been here a long, long time, Peach. I've got a very good sense of forum guidelines. And under those guidelines, posters can get away with disparaging another poster's marriage, as was done to me. But if one uses a slang term for the act in question, sometimes that gets yanked and sometimes it doesn't (pardon the pun).
The point is, to most people, disparaging someone's marriage like that is a pretty crappy thing to do - far worse than some street language. But you hide behind the fact that I got one post yanked (in the context of discussing the subject at hand), while you rationalize the attacks some on your side did to me because I didn't post anything apologizing for something THAT SOMEONE ELSE POSTED. Which proves once again that your indignation is bull.
>>Because you can't milk ANYTHING that's male.<<
Gays do it all the time! LOL
Maybe it Tourette's.
Well, at least now I understand your motivation. Thanks for the heads up.

Funny thing is, years later Cotton Mather introduced inoculation against small pox to American -- one of his slaves had taught him about it.
His inoculation plan was protested by those who thought that inoculation was defying the will of God. During the protests, Mather's house was firebombed.
What's your favorite joke?
So let's turn that around. Did you condemn the people who called the First Lady the most vile names?
LOL!
Sadly, I have to get ready for lunch and can't watch The Pretenders get into a twist. Day Five.
Why am I not surprised?
Thanks for the story.
Never heard that one before.
"Gays do it all the time! LOL"
Now THERE'S a new twist! hmmmmmmmmm
Susie:
IT WAS A JOKE!!!!!!

Some of them are probably doing it on company time.

Battle of Monmouth . . .
June 1778
That having been said, I don't think there's any fair comparison between what a person might utter in a fit of rage and what passes as acceptable language.
Standards are important for society as a whole. A lack of decorum can quickly erode to brutality.
