    They should show her pregnant getting onto a plane going home for maternity leave, and them with rainbow colored uniforms and feathers.

    BTW I WISH I saw no meaning in your sig.

            OK, maybe you see another meaning but the way I read:

            I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather.
            Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car.
            I WOULD like to die peacefully in my sleep!

            The passengers in his car, by implication, died BECAUSE the grandfather died, but THEY were awake, and screaming through the whole thing.

            I read this like being in the same "vehicle" and having your life trashed because of someone ELSE'S mistake. In a way, we ARE on the same rollercoaster.

            Make of that what you will. ICSAWLM!

            And YEAH, I WAS asleep in a car where I could have died because a friend was driving and had a heart attack. The car was totaled, he died, and I woke up in the hospital.

            That's one thing that you can't get around with humor - no matter how tame the joke seems, someone will be hurt or offended by it. We can't stop being humorous because of that. A world with no joking around would be a nightmare. I'm sorry, too, that Steve had a bad experience. Most people have not had that experience and find your sig funny.

            I had a greatgrandfather that died as the result of being gored by a bull - but there are jokes about people and bulls regardless. They are still funny, even if someone actually died that way once. This planet has killed billions and will kill billions more - in all sorts of ways, some very creative ones, too. Don't lose your sense of humor over it.

        I KNOW it was meant as a joke. NOPE, it doesn't bother me! The first part of my post was to further the joke a bit, since it DOES have a point!
