You need to understand the rules on the HotCopper humour threads, Sigmadelta:
1. If you have a sense of humour, you are defined as a right-thinking conservative white heterosexual male (probably Christian, definitely not Muslim). The reverse also applies. 2. Everyone else is a leftist. Yes, those bearded people sitting at the campfire in the OP are actually women. The corollary is that they take the world too seriously, they don't run with scissors, they are vegan and lesbian and they don't drink and drive. They are also scientists. They are funny, but humourless, and should not be taken seriously. 3. If you take any of the HotCopper jokes too seriously, refer rules 1 and 2.
