Here is the background. I took a whole bunch of email jokes that I had accumulated over the years, and wove the best of them into a series of humor pages. Apparently, some induhvidual took offense at one of the entries.
Here is the original joke essentially as posted previously on my web page:
Here is the original message that Pigeye sent to me, with no spelling or grammar or punctuation changes at all.

I am from KY,and I am really offended by you remark on your second hall of shame .
Kentucky (where else?): Two men tried to pull the front off a cash machine by running a chain from the machine to
the bumper of their pickup truck.
Instead of pulling the front panel off the machine, though, they pulled the bumper off their truck. Scared, they left
the scene and drove home. With the chain still attached to the machine. With their bumper still attached to the
chain. With their vehicle's license plate still attached to the bumper. ( Editor's Note 1: And they wonder why we call
them "Yahoos" )
I am by no means stupid, and you should consider the fact that people from KY might be offended..where are you
from by the way, I am sure there is a stereotype about you as well. please remove the comment,

Now here is where it gets weird. He had sent a message to me, so I responded. Here is his response back to me. Now I am talking about 25 hours after he sent a message to me, he doesn't know who I am. Honest, I am not making this up. Again, I did not alter the actual text to make him look stupid. He did that all on his own.

have you said or done anything funny? why have you sent rude letter?
who are you why should you're opinion matter to me I don't even know who
you are?
are you part of a chain letter bandied about from address book to address
book?
I have no intent to protect anyone. So I do not know what you were
referring to. i have no intentions of suing, but if you continue this
pattern of random abuse I will inform the network. If this was sent in
error then I apologize in advance.
Truly

Well, I had better watch what I say, or he will report me to the Network, and everyone knows how strict those guys are. If he is dumb enough to continue sending me stupid emails, I will continue to post them here until I get bored.
