this post is proof that he at least has a grasp and can execute humour
flawlessly.

You're expecting him to acknowledge that?

He'd rather be raped by a hippopotamus.

But once again dear Axel, in your befuddled brain, you fail to pick up
just who is taking the piss out of whom.

I suspect that it is you who looks the fool, in failing to see the
humour that both Williams and myself are injecting, in this way out of
date post! ;o)

You have the ability to be quite entertaining when the mood takes you
John Williams - which isn't very often.

However, as the Mafia movies have it, I just enjoy "bustin ya balls."

Er... no John, that's not true, and it certainly doesn't rate as "ball
breaking" humour either. ;o)
