Actually Pierre's response was to a joke I was playing on Pierre ...
I never allowed my original response to go to the list ...
Pierre pulled my bluff and posted himself !!!

Have we all had our fun now ?

Pierre,

All of a sudden, its not fun any more ...

Are you an Italian Jew ?

Am I missing a subtle connection here which doesn't make your joke

Is this how you want to represent yourself in a global community ?
