Smacked in the puss with a ham. And of course, I laugh.

    Umm... Why else would you have thrown it in there?

    I also want you to choose to do what I think is right because you want to, not because I'm making you.

    Um, because the woman got hit in the face with a flying ham, and it seemed like a relevant detail about myself when trying to describe my reaction?

    I also kind of intended for the thread to gravitate to a scholarly discussion of the always entertaining, "woman getting pelted with a flying ham" storyline ... not an ethics debate. Which is why I said in hindsight I shouldn't have thrown it in there.

    Smacked in the puss with a ham seems like it should be a euphemism for something.

    I prefer the term "sensitive." I also help old ladies cross the street (without being overly touchy) and even though I don't deliver hams to food banks, I've offered more than one hobo a spare lentil or two when the mood has struck.

    Laughing at unsuspected and relatively consequence-free violence is as much a God-given right as laughing at farts. Some things are inherently funny, and no one -- not even hemp-clothed vegetarians -- should feel the least bit guilty about a good guffaw.

    I feel a little sorry for the "Back at 'ya!" dude, even though he seems about as intelligent as the average meat animal.

    But that isn't going to stop me from brining, roasting and eating the free-range bird thawing in our fridge.

    You carry lentils around with you? Do you keep them in your pocket? If so, how do you differentiate them from the pocket lint?
