In my childhood, I disliked alcoholic drinks and that included shandy. I
was 16 before I came upon (hard) cider and then the rot set in :-) Come
to think of it, I still don't really like lemon or ginger shandy tho' I
enjoy alcoholic ginger beer.

When someone makes a quip, ie. taking well known fact and twisting it in
a homourous way in an attempt to raise a smile, someone else typing out
a mini essay to establish the original fact and further, to discredit
the quip as being un-factual, is just a wee bit odd.

And you are going to have to trust me on this.

And when someone assumes that humour was intended by disparaging
people, I have serious doubts about the validity of their agenda.

But then again, I don't know what you are talking about and I'm
pretty sure you don't either.

Oh I see - you didn't miss the joke but were instead posting your facts
because the "humour was intended to disparage people"

Yes, that makes perfect sense.....!

Why don't you just stop digging, admit you were being a silly-billy and
move on?

Trust me, you will feel better for it.

Life is full of irony. Most people who think of themselves seem to
assume that everyone who works in certain jobs are full prejudice. For
instance all cops and military are racist bigots.

Look at all the pictures in the news and on the net these days of school
children rallying against bullying. Do you think they really want to be
there? Some of them are being pressured into it, and that is bullying.

That's what you say (and not what I say). Typical bonehead
argument...try to gainsay everything instead of actually saying
something of substance.

I think there is a substantial difference between bullying and
convincing. Of course, maybe there isn't and I'm imagining this,
but I don't think so.

But maybe Yellow would care to weigh in. I *so* value his
contributions...
