[Rhodes22-list] Fuqua School of Business at Duke University

[Herb Parsons]

Ben, grow some skin.

I challenge you to show me a funny joke (or even an unfunny one) that 
doesn't put down some group, organization, individual. Too bad you don't 
like it, too bad you didn't realize it was a joke. It WAS worthy of a 
smile, because it shows that sometimes folks get just what they asked for.

And since we're feeling free to toss around personal opinions about 
"class" and such, I personally believe you're just a little chafed 
because the lawyer got scammed.
