I HATE "Political Correctness." I'm Italian. I thought this was pretty funny.

I was installing burglar alarm systems for a short while. In one client's house my partner and I were installing motion detectors. The home owner wanted to be able to walk through the room without getting detected but if someone were to enter through a window they would be spotted. My partner was on the ladder and I was doing the Walk Test. The owner commented to me "So you're the guinea pig." My partner, ever light hearted and quick witted said "How'd you know he was Italian?" I laughed. But she (the home owner) didn't. "IF MY HUSBAND WERE HERE RIGHT NOW HE'D GET HIS GUN AND SHOOT YOU OFF THAT LADDER!" I couldn't stop laughing watching him up there trying to backpedal his comment. And it probably was a good thing her husband wasn't home.

I don't mind ethnic jokes. I also recognize that some people DO get offended by them, even when they're not the target of the joke. So out of consideration of others I usually refrain from making such jokes. But I loved your nuclear joke. Not the least bit offended. I see the point of the joke and it was not targeted at Italians. Nor do I believe you WOULD target someone.

Thanks for the laugh.

Citing a softening in the premium home audio market McIntosh announced today that they would begin building hybrid electric motors for Toyota. According to reliable sources McIntosh claims their tube hybrid propulsion system is significantly "smoother" than existing solid state hybrid motors.
