So Cursitor Doom doesn't get my jokes. The "hilarious" claim in the original subject line makes it fairly clear that Cursitor Doom's sense of humour isn't up to much, so one can deduce that he can't detect anything subtle. Calling his "joke" "12-year-old-school-boy smut" was calling it puerile. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/puerile Puerile is low-frequency word, and using it is a bit pretentious, but that's our Cursitor Doom. -- Bill Sloman, Sydney
